Studio 34’s summer art exhibition kicks off with the fashions of Jessica Brown, designer and visual coordinator for our friends at People’s Music Supply. Jessica’s art exhibition opens with a fashion show complete with beautiful models, wild dance music, and the aviary madness that is BORBS. It’s a festival that celebrates the glowing orbs in our hearts and in the sky.

This event is free and starts with a reception, then a fashion show, and then some otherworldly performance!

MODELS: Sonali Singh, Jasmine Bullara, Jess Castor, Cassidy Gruber-Bureauth, Aida Kupa Chloe Wang, Matteo McDonnell, Vyette Tiya, Bridgit, Veronica Bennett, Amanda Jean , and Cerulean Payne-Passmore.

Aaron Pond—Horn, Voice, Flutes, Melodica, Percussion, Grasses
Jessica Brown—Horn, Voice, Flutes, Percussion

BORBS is dedicated to the birds in their awe inspiring nature, their terror, their beauty. This band utilizes sound schemas, gesture-codes, and light compositional thoughts as an organizing operandi. The sonic world is a mythical transduction of our ever-depleting / degrading / transforming natural spaces.
