NOW Festival: Art in Time of Conflict

Capital University will present “Art in Time of Conflict,” a showcase of performances, lectures, and art by guest artists, students, faculty, and staff in the annual NOW Festival, Feb. 8-18.

The Festival kickoff will feature Ukrainian composer-in-residence Alla Zagaykevych in an engaging discussion with Classical 101’s Christopher Purdy on Sunday, Feb. 11, at the Bexley Public Library. Zagaykevych’s insights into her creative process and music making, as well as a robust cultural scene of the present-day Ukraine – a country under attack – will demonstrate the resilience of art and the human spirit during the challenges of wartime.
