Art @ Tremper x Notice Recordings - 2025 Performance Series
This summer and fall, we reopen the studio at Tremper with a season of intimate performances—an offering of live music, process, and shared presence as we enter a new chapter of growth and purpose.
Presented in collaboration with Notice Recordings, this series brings together artists working across experimental music, sound, and performance. It’s not a curated series in the traditional sense, but something more improvisational—emerging from place, people, and timing. It marks the joyful reactivation of the space and the beginning of a broader vision: integrating art, ecology, and hospitality into a living, sustainable model for creative and community life.
