The free, four-day gathering of illuminated and interactive installations invites the public to bask in pieces that blend the natural, musical and industrial worlds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">With works made by international and Colorado-based artists, people can expect everything from a cloud made of light bulbs to wireframe birds to a cellist playing on the Blue River.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cThis event builds on our success with other nature-inspired activities as well as supports our commitment to programs that focus on environmental and place-based relevancy,\u201d said Robb Woulfe, president and CEO of Breckenridge Creative Arts, in a press release. \u201cThe artworks featured in this year\u2019s WAVE festival explore various ecological topics that are important to both local residents as well as guests who visit our beautiful mountain community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">Installations<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Seven different works of public art will dot Breckenridge\u2019s scenic landscape. The pieces are either U.S. premieres, Colorado premieres or brand new commissions never seen before.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Most will be displayed on the Arts District campus on Washington Avenue. There, people can pull on the strings of thousands of light bulbs in Caitlind r.c. Brown and Wayne Garrett\u2019s CLOUD, interact with Scott Young\u2019s neon work Intermittent Positive Reinforcement, or gaze at the ethereal wire sculptures of C\u00e9dric Le Borgne\u2019s Les Voyageurs and Les Oiseaux.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">On the Blue River Plaza, festivalgoers can walk under metallic arches in Iceberg, an immersive, organ-like installation by ATOMIC3 and APPAREIL Architecture that follows the life cycle of giant pieces of ice with light and sound.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">At the gallery inside the Old Masonic Hall sits Tension, a series of neon \u201cropes\u201d created by Denver-based Young. Dangling on a system of mechanical pulleys, the piece is meant to evoke the equipment of Summit County\u2019s mining past. To learn more about Tension, visit Old Masonic Hall on Friday, May 31, to hear Young give a half-hour presentation at 6 p.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">ACT Lighting Design, a Belgian-based design agency, created a holographic-like net called Light Flows that will be visible on the Riverwalk Center lawn. Various light-themed images of nature will be projected on the installation as it floats in the air.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">If folks want a bit of exercise with their artwork, they should check out Ekumen\u2019s Loop. A combination of a music box, zoetrope and railway handcar, participants sit inside the machine and pull the lever to create an animated movie with images and sounds that sync up with the pace they set.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">Concerts and Screenings<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Because sound is a vital element to the WAVE festival, attendees can enjoy multiple pop-up concerts along with film screenings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Musicians from the National Repertory Orchestra will perform each day from 5\u20139 p.m. at the Arts District campus. Called \u201cFloating Brass,\u201d the series will feature William Berue and David Nakazono on trumpets, Jessica Elder on horn, Robyn Smith on trombone and Riley Lindsey on tuba.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">If folks want more music, cellist Russick Smith will perform nightly at 8 and 10 on an island in the Blue River near the Riverwalk Center. Smith is a cellist, multi-instrumentalist, engineer and composer from Colorado. His music is derived from a life of experiences rooted in the West.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Lastly, the Breckenridge Film Festival will present a free collection of short films thematically tied to WAVE each night on the Arts District campus from 8:30\u201311.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">Community events and workshops<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">While some installations are interactive, those who want to truly express themselves should check out BreckCreate\u2019s workshops and other events happening during the festival. Kicking things off is LightCycles, an event held in partnership with Psycle9600 that parades cyclists through the WAVE exhibits while riding decked out bicycles. Riders should gather between 7\u20138 p.m. at <a id=\"N0x1b506e0N0x1987360:N0x1b506e0N0x1ae3d80\" href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/magazines\/explore-summit-weekender\/breckenridges-psycle-9600-offers-new-spin-on-high-elevation-workouts\">Psycle9600<\/a> (505 S. Main St.) with pre-decorated bikes, or gear up on-site with free glow swag, and ride from 8-9.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Throughout the weekend people can visit the Arts District\u2019s Ceramic Studio, Randall Barn, Hot Shop, Fuqua Liver Stable and Quandary Antiques Cabin for various workshops. Kids aged 1-6, with parental supervision, can create iceberg sculptures and sun catchers. Those 6 and up can make cloud art, bird books, mesh sculptures and drip art.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Interested people 15 and older have the opportunity to weld tin cam luminaries, craft shadow boxes out of wood, paint acrylic and watercolor nightscapes, form ceramic cloud trays and distill plants for essential oils.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Additionally, Young will educate folks about his signature medium, neon, on Saturday, June 1, from 5\u20136:30 p.m. Also on Saturday, those 15 and up can help create a glass chandelier at the Hot Shop from 5:30\u20137:30 p.m. Only six people can work on the community project at a time and it is first come, first served with registration at the door. Participants are encouraged to wear natural fiber clothing such as cotton or wool and contact lenses instead of glasses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Register at the BreckCreate website online to ensure a spot for most of the workshops. Participants must check in at Old Masonic Hall before the classes. However, similar to the chandelier project, Young\u2019s workshop is first come, first served and registration will happen at the Robert Whyte House.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/explore-summit\/wave-art-festival-makes-a-splash-in-breckenridge-next-week-with-interactive-installations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Summit Daily<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At this year&#8217;s WAVE: Light + Water + Sound festival, people can pull on the strings of thousands of light bulbs in Caitlind r.c.
