Additional Information: "‘Come to Your Senses’ is more than just an art activation; it’s a vibrant community event that celebrates Sacramento's diverse artistic talent and supports local non-profits," said Danielle Foster, CADA’s Executive Director. "We invite everyone to experience art in a completely new and interactive way, creating lasting memories while giving back to the community."

This innovative exhibition features contributions from local artists, including Keia Kodama, Karen Ulep, Gabe Lopez, Micah Kearns & ILU Innovations, George Holden’s Live Cinema and Liquid Light Show, Northern Light Productions, We Are Sacramento, MusicLandria, and YOU! Yes, you’ll have the chance to participate and contribute to the evolving art pieces. Highlights include a monochrome tactile room, an immersive illuminated breathing space, and hands-on musical stations from MusicLandria that allow visitors to create distinct soundscapes.

“Our interactive stations will allow attendees to create and experiment with electronic sounds using synthesizers, sound modulators, and effects processors, inviting visitors to craft unique soundscapes and delve into the world of synthesized audio,” said Buddy Hale, Founder of MusicLandria.

"We are creating an experience here for the entire community to enjoy," states Foster. "By focusing on the senses, we aim to meet each guest with avenues that resonate and offer a space for them to explore both art and themselves on a deeper level."
