Michael Hemsworth — February 21, 2016 — Pop Culture
Taking place at the 92nd Street Y in New York City, the 'Seeing Music' Music and Art Festival is a celebration of both visual and auditory artistic endeavors. Intended to be something of a cross-pollination music and art festival, the event sees visual media be displayed and paired with music for a cohesive experience.
Being that music festivals are becoming more popular with each passing year, the evolution of the festival is taking place in new, unexpected ways. The 'Seeing Music' Music and Art Festival helps to offer an approachable, local alternative to the bustling style of other festivals. What's more, the demographic targeted is more oriented towards Boomers rather than Millennials who have been long-standing fans of the music festival.
