Threshold: What do you move through?
We all move through things in life. Why not move through them together on Saturday, May 31st?
Join us in Maple Grove Park and move through the Sound Tunnel with us. Make some sound, dance a little, hum, whisper, maybe even scream. As you move through the Sound Tunnel, think about all the things you want to hold into tighter---and maybe some of the things you want to let go.
Threshold: What do you move through? Is a wellness and community-centered art and movement activation will occur on May 31, 2025, in and around the bike path Sound Tunnel at Maple Grove Park in Downtown Rogers. Commissioned by the City of Rogers in 2023, local sound, light, and sculpture artist Craig Colorusso created, composed, and installed an ambient sound artwork that permanently resides within the bike tunnel, playing tranquil and vibrational sounds in response to the detected movement by cyclists, runners, and others.
Threshold will consist of a day of scheduled public programs where multiple regional artists across disciplines will interact, move, dance, rap, lead yoga, and recite poetry within the tunnel that responds to and is harmonious with the existing ambient soundscape—highlighting nature, music, creativity, and movement as vital components of wellness. Community members will also be encouraged to participate in various performances, poetry, and movement exercises. The guiding prompt for all performers and community participants is: What do you move through?

About the Artist/Organizer:
Craig Colorusso (b. 1970, Mount Vernon, NY) is a contemporary artist whose immersive installations, sound sculptures, and bowed guitar performances blur the boundaries between art, environment, and experience. Often situated in natural settings, Colorusso’s minimalist sound sculptures explore themes of consciousness, togetherness, and sensory awareness—encouraging participation and a deeper engagement with the world around us. Drawing from his roots as a touring punk rock musician, he is fascinated by how sound shapes experience, incorporating wood, metal, fabric, and innovative technologies to create dynamic, evolving installations.
Colorusso lives and works in Rogers, Arkansas. His work has been presented internationally at the Solar Art Festival in Doha, Qatar, with displays of his work in exhibitions at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Anchorage Museum, MASS MoCA, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Gilcrease Museum, Tulsa, OK, The deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, Lincoln, MA, Indianapolis Museum of Art, Delaware Art Museum, among others. He has work in the permanent collections of ArtFields, Lake City, SC, and the National Museum of Qatar, Doha.
