The Color of Sound – Music Inspires Art is an interactive concert featuring local visual artists and musicians.
 
Four talented Sioux Falls artists, Scott L. Ehrisman, Hope Happeny, Eyob Mergia & Jamie Scarbrough, will create several paintings on canvas while listening to the region’s premier Jazz and Blues Bands — Dakota Jazz Collective & Urban Blues. The five-hour event includes three 45-minute sets of unique performance art. After the event, the paintings will be available for sale. A DVD of the event will be available in the following weeks.

“We have high expectations for this film as a public educational tool,” Sioux Falls artist Scott Ehrisman said.  “The Color of Sound – Music Inspires Art is being independently produced by the artists and musicians involved. We are very proud of this aspect.”
