Wallingford’s Hollow Earth Radio and The Fremont Abbey Arts Center are teaming up to present a free field recording workshop for kids Saturday, January 23rd from 11am – 4pm. Youth, ages 8-13, will spend the day learning how to capture the sounds that are all around us. They’ll be able to try different microphones and recording devices, and explore the sounds of Fremont.

It’s free, but space is limited, so register your budding artist asap via email: [email protected]
About the Fremont Abbey Arts Center: Built in 1914, the Fremont Abbey Arts Center was once the home of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church. The building is now curated by The Fremont Abbey Arts Center where the community-driven, volunteer-powered center offers educational arts experiences such as classes, workshops, music lessons, concerts, theatre, dance, and more. The Abbey fulfills the Fremont Neighborhood Plan’s directive for an Arts Center and pulls in people from nearby neighborhoods like Wallingford, which doesn’t have its own dedicated art center. In carrying out their mission, the Abbey works hard to set a good example for sustainability by using natural homemade cleaning supplies, efficient heating, insulation, composting, recycling, etc. Read about their stunning array of community arts events at http://www.fremontabbey.org

They expose works that haven’t yet been unearthed, or that have long remained dormant.
