On display in our Gallery for the month of October is an exhibit unlike anything we have had before.  Come and experience The Intergalactic Beets Project.  It is an art/music/prose project that imagines an intergalactic record label distributing music from alien artists from distant planets and galaxies.  Incorporated with each piece of art (or album cover) is a playable song from the album, along with liner notes that share information about the fictional artists and the creation of the album.  As you walk through the Gallery, we invite you to read about each album’s unique history and scan the accompanying QR codes to hear sounds from the far reaches of our galaxy and beyond.  There are also free print copies of an accompanying ‘Zine called Heart Beets, along with stickers and pins and coloring sheets.  This is a mixed media experience you will not want to miss!

The Intergalactic Beets Project is the brainchild of Joey Rodriguez.  Inspired by the possibilities of the universe, his hybrid art and music adventure is constantly evolving and now encompasses over 250 original songs.  He is also the author of four novels, two novellas, and several short stories.  Joey lives in New Milford with his wife and two children, where he works as a non-profit consultant.  To learn more about this amazing project, please visit The Intergalactic Beets Project.
