  • August 5, 2017 | 2 - 4pm
    Debut at Hammer East | 114 Orleans Street, East Boston 

A mobile vessel, Beat Bus 2.0 brings community building and performance art to public spaces through electronic drumming. Encouraging participants to experiment with beats, harmonies, and melodies, the drumming cart will be equipped with the tools needed to make music on the spot! As the second iteration of Beat Bus, this project aims to be more accessible and mobile than in previous years. Finkelmeier will design and build the project at Hammer East, an artist collective space in East Boston, and premiere the project in August at the same location. It will be free and open to the public, encouraging all to explore their creativity through music!
