Moms Weekend 2026

As part of Boneyard Arts Festival and Moms Weekend on campus, come experience immersive sound as you view artwork! Members of Improvisers Exchange Ensemble will create soundscapes within Krannert Art Museum’s galleries through site-specific solo performance and collective improvisation in reflection and response to artwork on display. Museum visitors are invited to experience viewing the art in these sonic locations. The museum is open Saturdays from 10 am–4 pm. **Parking nearby is free on weekends.**

Curated by Jason Finkelman, Director of Global Arts Performance Initiatives, together with Krannert Art Museum. Co-hosted by Improvisers Exchange and Boneyard Arts Festival.

ABOUT THE PERFORMERS

Improvisers Exchange Ensemble is an eclectic student performance group of the School of Music exploring sound and music through collective improvisation. Under the direction of Jason Finkelman, the ensemble develops a practice of omni-idiomatic improvisation, where musicians of all backgrounds and experiences create meaningful music in the moment. In addition to the ensemble, Improvisers Exchange is a multidimensional programming line of Global Arts Performance Initiatives offering concerts, workshops, lectures, artist residencies, and other engagements promoting broadly the field of music improvisation.
