NEW AT SHOUT! POP! is an interactive installation that is a celebration of light, music, motion, and popular culture. Set them free by calling out to them, talking to them, or even by singing. As you encourage one to show itself, watch the monolith get brighter and brighter until it opens to release a creature who’s ready to put on a show. Don't miss this installation on Levine Avenue of the Arts starting March 31st until April 16th.
