Experience the ways sound and space interact in the Gardner’s first exhibition of sound art. Listen Hear: The Art of Sound features installations throughout the Museum and beyond its walls, inspiring new ways to experience the galleries and making sonic connections to the surrounding neighborhood. Listen Hear presents ten works by emerging and established artists who approach sound from very different angles.


Sound Lab – Series Event

Kennedy Academy for Health Careers, and the AiLi series at Haley House Bakery Café.
