Wright Now 2007

Wright Now is a showcase of contemporary art and design initiatives exemplifying the spirit of innovation reflected in the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright.

The Westcott House Foundation together with the Dayton Art Institute, The Bar of Modern Art, WYSO 91.3 FM, presented WRIGHT NOW 2007, a provocative concert experience integrating contemporary Japanese-American music and art in an immersive multi-media installation on September 27-29, 2007. The event featured the abstract paintings of Japanese artist and American resident, Junko Yamamoto; the art rock music of SOFT, a contemporary band from Kyoto and real time, animated video installations of The Now Device, a multi-media group from Seattle. This event symbolized the principles of innovation Frank Lloyd Wright was known for and that are exemplified in the architecture of The Westcott House.

The three day event featured an artist panel and discussion, haiku and origami workshops, taiko drumming, the work of Junk Yamamoto, and three performances by SOFT and The Now Device. This event was supported in part by a grant from the Ohio Arts Council Innovation Fund with additional support from Emporium Wines and The Underdog Café.
