JAZZ! Swing over to the LAA to experience the rhythm of the art!
Do you love Jazz? Do love artwork of performing musicians? The Loft Artists Association is presenting the JAZZ art show for you with the music-inspired artworks of Loft Artists Shirley Binin and Cici Artist.

Shirley Binin has been drawing from life for fifty years of jazz performances the likes of Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Hickory House’s Marian McPartland. Mrs. Binin sculpts her artworks out of hand-made paper pulps overlaid with gouache paints and monoprint techniques.

Cici Artist creates drawings and paintings of whimsical women expressing themselves joyfully in music. She also creates copper masks that dance with the vibrations of the walking room and she will be displaying a short video of her 'Jazz Mechanicals' sculpture works.
