Murmur's 44 appearance will be an "amalgam of multiple disciplines, poets, musicians and artists."

Murmur is the local creative arts collective that defies categorization: multi- or cross-disciplinary? Sure. Experimental? Definitely.

CityBeat called it the "multifarious Murmur, one of the local art scene's up-and-coming social undergrounds offering experimental concerts, book clubs, poetry readings, workshops, group discussions and art exhibitions."

The creative minds behind Murmur gave us a few answers to questions about their influences and inspirations:

Please tell us about your latest work. What inspired it?

Murmur is a self-perpetuating creative community.

What are some artistic influences upon your work?

Salons, Socrates, Gutai, Caberet, Voltaire

How do you want your audiences to feel?

What is the biggest challenge to your art or to being an artist today?

"Maybe, possessed of interests and questions, you've not found a space for them. Let us build it. Lets build a space for artists, musicians, dancers, writers, thinkers and the creatively inclined. Bring your energy...lets show that Cincinnati is alive!" -- Murmur

44 is the Contemporary Arts Center's new creative arts series at the Lois & Richard Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art.

Artists of every discipline and genre - poets, musicians, dancers, playwrights, actors, performers, filmmakers - are invited to demonstrate their craft every Monday in the Center's Kaplan Hall Lobby.

44 celebrates all forms of art and all stages of artistic practice. From dramatic readings to rehearsals to full-scale performances, 44 provides a dual experience - to artists seeking new audiences and venues, and to the downtown community seeking creative interaction.
