“Sound Formations: Artist, Musician, Instrument Maker,” an exhibition at the Claremont Lewis Museum of Art, is showcasing handcrafted musical instruments that can also be appreciated as works of art.

The exhibit, which opened April 5, runs through July 13 at the museum at 200 W. First St., Claremont.

In connection with the exhibit, the museum will present “Sound Formations LIVE,” a free public concert on the museum lawn, 4-9 p.m. May 3. The concert will offer an opportunity to experience the handcrafted instruments through the talents of local musicians and instrument makers.

At the concert, pizza and craft beers will be available for purchase.

“Sound Formations,” guest curated by Mike Kotzen and Martin Maudal, focuses on musical instruments and their makers. The exhibition also recognizes the contributions of Claremont musicians and landmarks, including the Folk Music Center, established by Charles and Dorothy Chase in 1958, and the Golden Ring music café, which opened in 1965.

The exhibition includes the work of Henry Barnes, Richard Barnes, Charles Chase, Otto D’Ambrosio, David Dart, Kirk Delman, Kris Erickson, Pete Escovedo, Steve Goode, Mike Kotzen, Martin Maudal, Father Bill Moore, Brian Ransom, Elizabeth Redd, Jom Rivers, Victoria Rosas, Warren Shingleton, Dave Tourje and Larry White, according to a news release.

“Sound Formations” is sponsored by the Skapik Law Group, with additional support provided by the Chouinard Foundation.
