Sight Sound Soul

Sight Sound Soul is designed to bring people together as only art and music can.  Knowbility and Art Spark designed the experience almost two decades ago to remove accessibility barriers and allow an audience with diverse abilities to share a unique and enriching experience.  People who are deaf and those who hear, the blind and the sighted all participate in the creative energy as a painting takes shape on stage while musicians soulfully play their music. American Sign Language, human captioning, audio description, and real time painting engage all of the senses. Sight Sound Soul is joyful expression and shared experience - and what says community better than that?

D-Madness, an unsung gem at the cornerstone of Austin's vibrant music scene, has helped the city earn the title of Live Music Capital. The multi-talented musician plays various instruments in multiple bands and fronts his own one man project, writing, producing, singing and playing several instruments simultaneously. If you ask anyone who's ever seen or heard D-Madness; it's a one-of-a-kind, unforgettable experience you have to witness for yourself.

Elizabeth Decker is a contemporary artist based in Austin, Texas. Her signature bold and brightly colored abstract faces and figures are emotional depictions of a story that invites further conversation. Decker is a self-trained, intuitive psychological portrait artist, influenced and affected by the internal and external conversations between herself and the world. Painting is a way to mediate an accumulation of emotions, thoughts, and ideas often reworking the piece until she can come to an acceptable resolution.
