Live Music at Punch! "Third Seven"
2025-04-12 15:00 - 17:00 | PUNCH Gallery, 10630 N Thorp Hwy, Thorp, 98946, United States
Open 12-5pm Saturday, April 12 with the return of “Third Seven” playing a not-to-be-missed set of experimental cello on the Punch Stage 3-5pm.
In the PUNCH Gallery, join us for the continuation of “Keep the Good Ones” by a.p.gath.
“Keep the Good Ones” celebrates fleeting yet profound moments that shape our lives. These paintings and mixed media works capture both quiet and loud moments, fragments of time when we feel truly alive. From peaceful afternoons to chaotic celebrations, they invite viewers to pause and appreciate beauty in both calm and raucous. Each piece reflects how time shapes our experiences, creating nostalgic memories. The aim is to preserve and honor these impermanent moments that stay with us long after they pass.
Vibrant colors and moody hues contrast with the mundane or difficult, evoking motion, light, and emotion. Abstracted figures and dreamlike environments capture joy of connection and quiet solace. In a noisy world, this series calls us to recognize and hold on to the positive, for they make life worth living.
Not to mention, we’ve got beverages and snacks in the Punch Snack Bar.
Plan to arrive early for a good seat!
Join us for this free, all-ages event at Punch Projects in Thorp, Washington.
