Symbiotic Sound Design

The Gallery @ Washtenaw Community College
20 Mar — 31 May 2026
Experience original soundscapes accompanying various artistic works emphasizing the emotional response to art while also incorporating recordings of both the process and ambient textures that inspired them. This is a collaboration between WCC Audio Production Faculty, Dave Clipner, and Photography Faculty Amber Dietz & Don Werthmann as well as WCC Photography and Audio students.

The exhibit features two framed prints, and two copies of the book To Think Outloud in a showcase which brings one of its core tenants to life: that images can server as triggers for writing Ekphrastic Poetry or Ars Poetica. In the context of this exhibit audio soundscapes were produced about Quatrain #5: Seeking Clarity and Quatrain #33: Échelle Européenne, which appear in the opening pages.

Our Photo Critique Room

Santa Fe Workshops | Online
10 Jan — 14 Feb 2026
Saturdays; 10:00AM — 1:00PM [Mountain Time]
Making art and viewing art are different at their core. That’s obvious, but what arrests many practitioners of photography is being conversant and knowing what to think or say when gazing at your favorite medium, let alone other forms of visual art. In this six-week online workshop, you venture together into a realm to understand visual art better and learn how to talk about photographs. This compelling and collaborative space is your critique room. Tap the SFW Logo for the course description, tuition, and other registration info.
