My all time favorite form of art is music, and by living in NYC we experience A LOT of it. From the street performers to the musicians at Madison Square Garden, music is everywhere.
Last night, I saw Grouplove in Central Park. I’ve seen them once before at a music festival in Delaware, but something about the beautiful park with the lit up buildings as the backdrop made the night magical.
The music was awesome, but they were also displaying their art. Singer Hannah Cooper had her art in a pamphlet that was handed out at the entry. Since it was the Honda Civic Tour, they were raffling off a new car painted with Hannah’s art. (See images below!)
Overall, the experience was amazing as I got to listen to great music while viewing cool pictures and drawings.
Here’s a video of their opening song!
Art is everywhere. It reaches out from formal galleries and museums to the streets of New York. On my way to Wholefoods one afternoon in Union Square Park, I passed by a group of artists. They were in a corner of the park making beautiful music with different instruments. Some had guitars, a tambourine, drums, and others were just singing along or dancing. The scene was a kind of free-for-all. Nothing was planned, and different musicians could chime in randomly. It was awesome to see all different cultures coming together through their passion to make music. What was even more interesting was that they had a mini food station open to the public where people who couldn’t afford a meal could grab a bowl of rice while listening to the music. My experience really put things into perspective and made me appreciate the hidden forms of art found among the bustling streets of New York.
