OPUS Merriweather, the bold, multi-faceted festival that combines art, sound, technology, and cuisine in a surreal sensory journey, returns to Merriweather Park in Symphony Woods on Saturday, October 13, 5 p.m. to 11 p.m.
Last year, OPUS 1 dazzled 15,000 attendees from throughout the region with a mind-expanding display of world-class art, tech, and sound. This year, the creativity of 25 artists from 13 countries is another, not-to-miss spectacle. If imagination is the key to the future, OPUS brings us that future now.
OPUS Merriweather features a forest full of discovery, including seven newly commissioned pieces and an array of dynamic art installations and performances staged across the entire fifty acres of Symphony Woods. It’s like visiting the MoMA, Guggenheim, Bilbao, and Venice Biennale in your own back yard. Here’s a taste:
Dance under a piano drum canopy- Wander through a laser cathedral
- Bask in a soul-cleansing infusion of color
- Expose your child to the power of imagination and the wonders of art, technology, and music
- Behold a sixteen-foot-tall talking owl
- Feed the burgeoning foodie in an expanded Culinary Village
OPUS Merriweather is the place for creative minds of all ages to experience the productions of world-class artists right in the heart of Downtown Columbia. First release tickets — available now — are just $10; children under 12 years of age are free. Learn more about OPUS Merriweather and reserve your tickets now at opusmerriweather.com.
