ABOUT THE ARTISTS:

Antenna Cloud Farm presents a special evening of live performance with renowned vocalist, composer, and video artist Emily Wells, along with guests from Antenna Cloud Farm’s musical community including composer-performer-improvisers Michi Wiancko, Che Ali and Philip McGinty (both ACF Experimental Institute alumni), and more.

Emily Wells builds songs from deliberate strata of vocals, synths, drums, piano, string and wind instruments, and has toured extensively throughout the world, including performances at Lincoln Center, the Guggenheim Museum, and the National Gallery of Art. She has released six critically acclaimed albums including 2017’s “visionary” (NPR) This World is Too ____ For You, and 2022’s “complex, vibrant, and dynamic” (Pitchfork) Regards to the End.

Wells's first multimedia solo show, Fever, is on view at The Berman Museum of Art in Pennsylvania. Her latest release, the ten-song album Regards to the End, explores the AIDS crisis, climate change, and her lived experience watching the world burn. A work of radical empathy, Regards to the End foregrounds the power of art, critique, and care to connect and perhaps redeem us.

Exciting News for A Happening V: The Bestiary

Cloudgaze and Eggtooth Productions are thrilled to announce that we have received generous grants from the Mass Cultural Council as well as the Community Foundation of Western MA to support our 2025 Immersive Arts Festival, “A Happening V: The Bestiary.”

This festival will transform the Shea Theater into an exploration of theme, hosting installations, music, theatrical performances, and movement pieces, featuring the collective contributions of over 50 local artists. Audiences will experience otherworldly environments and narratives inspired by Aesop's Fables, George Orwell's Animal Farm, newly imagined cautionary tales, and creature myths of all origins.

Thanks to the Mass Cultural Council for their vital support this year.We'd also like to thank the Community Foundation of Western Massachusetts for their support in the form of a Flexible Funding grant. We couldn't do this work without you!
