 Conversation Piece is an effort to shift the standard conversation of art.
  Art need not be the presentation of a piece in a particular medium\, by a
 n artist to his audience\; rather\, art can be an interactive process. Thi
 s process transcends media types\, and brings both artist and audience int
 o the creation and experience of the work. In this first volley of the Con
 versation\, two artists (a painter and a DJ) collaborated to produce a uni
 fied piece wherein the painting was driven by a live studio set by the DJ\
 , whose set was in turn\, and in real time\, driven by the visual creation
  of the painting.\nThis back and forth ultimately culminated in the piece 
 featured at the Conversation Piece Art Party. The audience will experience
  not simply the final visual painting\, but also the process of its creati
 on. The audience reaction then becomes a part of the work\, which is now a
  process rather than an object.\nAdmission is free\, and open to everyone 
 who wants to enjoy a new experience of art. Cocktails and refreshments pro
 vided. Included artists will be available for discussion\, interviews\, bo
 oking portfolio sales.\nPictured:  a work by Micah Simmons.\n\nStart time:
