What do a local comedian, an animal expert, and a former NFL star have in common? Together, they help to bring artwork to life in the Buffalo AKG’s new audio experience: AKGo!
Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at this innovative audio guide’s creation with guest speaker Christine Murray of Art Processors, a leader in creative audio and in-gallery experiences, in conversation with Brittany Emens Strupp, PhD, Buffalo AKG Manager of Interpretation & Docents. Together, they will share the thinking, technology, and sound design that went into AKGo! to ensure audiences of all backgrounds have a better narrative experience at the Buffalo AKG.
After the talk, complimentary beverages and light snacks will be provided from 7 to 8 pm.
