North Pole Studio’s Rhythm & Hues
North Pole Studio's Rhythm & Hues is a collaborative music project that pairs musicians with visual artists who have autism and intellectual and developmental disabilities. Musicians John Niekrasz, Kennedy Verrett and Maria E. Olaya create new work in response to artwork by North Pole Studio artists Adam Richards, Joni Smith and Davis Wohlford. The project has been presented at Portland's Montavilla Jazz Festival.
