Multiple Voices is the first public artwork in the United States by Eva Schlegel, the Austria-based artist known for engineering steel and mirrors into spectacular, architectonic sculptures. Working with materials similar to the arts center’s new building, Schlegel created a series of polished and translucent surfaces that catch and reflect light and parts of the surrounding environment, encouraging visitors to gather, play and learn. Poems by Steve Bellin-Oka, Kimberly Blaeser and Joy Harjo appear in blurred form on glass panels, registering each poem as part of the sculpture, but rendered cryptic to the viewer.

Do you ever feel in a funk? Do your thoughts ever sound like radio static or like a fork caught in the garbage disposal? Does your body ever feel like it’s moving through peanut butter?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you need to Get the Funk Out.
“But what IS the funk?” You ask, “And how do I get it out?”
So glad you asked!
The Funk is a by-product of living in a world that constantly demands more of you while simultaneously telling you (and constantly reminding you) that you’ll never be enough.
The Funk settles in our bodies and minds, and it keeps us from being our best, most productive, happiest versions of ourselves. The Funk keeps us from sharing our unique gifts and talents with the world.
Come for a very special 'Last Day of Winter' class to sweat, breathe, write and Get the Funk out through mindfulness, guided journaling, and physical movement, so that you can start your spring with clearer vision and purpose.
Come to this class ready to address your funk with a journal, a pen, and your yoga mat.
This 2 hour class with instructor Katie Swanson is all-levels friendly:
- 45-60 minutes of breath, mindfulness, and guided journaling- 60-75 minutes of detoxifying slow and sweaty yoga flow.
No yoga or writing experience is required! Come breathe, move, and "Get the Funk Out" with us!
