SUMMARY:My Sonic Valentine: Love Wrapped in Sound
DESCRIPTION:A FREE immersive Valentine’s Day offering. \nStep into a Valentine’s Day experience unlike any other\, where love\, sound\, art\, and vibration invite connection\, presence\, play\, and yes\, more love. \nPresented by Sonic Unity\, My Sonic Valentine: Love Wrapped in Sound marks their West Coast debut\, with a gathering that reimagines Valentine’s Day beyond romance\, embracing self-love\, friendship\, and community through sound and art\, and unfolds its vision across the indoor and outdoor spaces of the Wende Museum. \nDoors open at 3:30pm and guests will be invited to move freely\, follow the sound\, and experience living art and soundscapes that unfold across the museum’s spaces. This is envisioned as an interactive sound-art journey\, an experience that blends stillness with mindful movement into the realm of dreamlike wandering gently through sound\, art and connection. \nIn the spirit of community and public art\, the Wende Museum is honored to welcome the NXT Art Foundation\, which will present their brilliant Attune 1.0\, a first-of-its-kind public art platform designed to connect Angelenos through coordinated sound and light-based works presented simultaneously across multiple locations. Attune 1.0\, presented by NXT Art Foundation and Arup and produced by Carmen Zella (Cofounder\, NXT Art Foundation and Creative Director\, NOW Art)\, will unfold across Los Angeles County at sunset on Valentine’s Day as part of a free\, family-friendly public art experience. \nAttune 1.0 will activate the garden space as a central feature\, inviting guests to bring picnic blankets or chairs and settle around a light-based installation as they experience a collective sound journey created by local artists to inspire connection and calm… \n…and AMPLIFY LOVE. \nAt the heart of the experience is a continuous sound bath flow in the museum’s theater\, where guests are invited to receive as much or as little sound as feels right—dipping in and out as they wish. You are welcome to lie down\, sit\, move quietly\, or simply listen as sound moves through the space. We ask that this space be held with care and mindfulness\, honoring it as a sacred environment for sound bathing. \nTHEATER | THE SOUND BATH SANCTUARY \nA curated progression of exceptional sound artists bathing you with healing sound \n4:00 PM – Isaac Sabu\nVibroacoustic frequencies and immersive sound healing \n5:00 PM – Anthony Profeta\n2025 Evergreen Award Winner for Best Sound Therapist in the USA\, often referred to as “The Mozart of Sound” \n6:00 PM – Sandy Duarte\nStage 4 Cancer Survivor whose sound was born in chemo. A deeply intentional sound journey rooted in lived healing experience. Supported by Peter Hess® Therapy Bowls and Rainbow Sounds® crystal bowls \n6:40 PM – Closing Sound Bath\nA powerful collective sound immersion where all artists come together to jam and co-create in sound. \nJoining us as a special guest is Grammy-nominated artist Bella Rabbit\, adding her presence and creative spirit to the gathering. \nBella Rabbit is a Grammy-nominated songwriter\, artist and producer whose voice moves between sensitivity and power\, using sound as a frequency to alchemize emotion and presence. Her vocal work bridges intimacy and expansiveness\, inviting listeners into a shared space of resonance and release. \nSPACES BEYOND \nDiscover Biotune Wellness Technology through vibroacoustic offerings available on a first-come\, first-served basis. These experiences invite deep relaxation\, heart–brain coherence\, and elevated states of meditation\, supporting both individual and collective wellness. \nPlus\, make your way up to the museum’s beautiful rooftop for Sonic Unity Talking Circles\, a welcoming space for reflection\, heartfelt conversation\, and meaningful connection\, hosted by Janein Chavez\, LMFT\, and Nick Sharp\, M.A.\, LPCC\, GEP. \nWHAT THIS IS \nThis is not a workshop or a traditional performance. It is a curated sonic environment designed for listening\, nervous system regulation\, reflection\, shared presence\, and most of all LOVE. \nOpen to all—come alone\, with a partner\, or with friends and family. Experience Valentine’s Day as a moment of self-love\, friendship\, community\, and collective resonance. \nABOUT SONIC UNITY \nSonic Unity is a collective devoted to exploring sound as a universal language for healing\, connection\, and collective resonance—where love is the language beyond words. Their work brings together ancient and contemporary vibrational expressions through sound\, art\, and technology to create immersive experiences that support nervous system regulation\, emotional clarity\, embodied presence\, and community gathering. \nSonic Unity was co-founded by wellness and creative artist Sandy Duarte and wellness entrepreneur Melissa Rosen with the mission to foster coherence within the self\, between individuals\, and across communities through intentional sound and vibratory experiences. \nSandy’s sound practice was born during her journey through chemotherapy as a Stage 4 cancer patient\, where sound became a source of calm\, grounding\, and inner peace. That lived experience informs the depth\, care\, and intention behind every Sonic Unity offering. \nThis Valentine’s Day gathering marks the West Coast debut of Sonic Unity’s immersive sound work\, following an acclaimed multi-day event during Miami Art Week featuring over 25 sound facilitators of various genres in collaboration for continuous sound programming. \nAs founders of this movement\, we leave you with both our ethos to ponder with joy and possibility. \n“The power of love’s sound is for everyone.” – Sandy Duarte\n“Listening is love.” – Melissa Rosen

SUMMARY:Digitization Day: Free Archival Digitization
DESCRIPTION:Looking to digitize personal or family archival materials? Sign up for the Wende Museum’s Digitization Day on Friday\, February 27th! \nReserve a free 50-minute time slot at one of the Wende Museum’s scanners. In addition to making scanning sessions available through advanced registration\, the Wende is also accepting walk-in appointments. Wende staff will be on hand to help you as needed. Please bring your own portable USB-A-compatible storage device (such as an external hard drive or thumb drive). \nPlease read the descriptions to decide which equipment to sign up for: \nScanner (participant operated with guidance from staff): Paper materials (photographs\, letters\, ephemera\, etc.) that do not exceed 8.5″ x 11.7″ and slides. \nOversized camera (staff operated but will require participant assistance): Paper materials (including photo albums with photographs that cannot be removed\, scrapbooks\, and paintings) that do not exceed 19″ x 23″. Please note that if an object is glossy\, it will have glare in the image. \nParticipants may only sign up for one piece of equipment during a given time slot. If participants sign up for multiple pieces of equipment during a single session time\, the museum will cancel all but one of the reservations. \nThere will be a small amount of dedicated space for participants to store the materials they would like to digitize while they wait. This space is first come\, first serve. \nIf you have any questions\, feel free to reach out to research@wendemuseum.org. \nPreparing For Your Appointment: \nConsider the quantity of materials you are planning to scan and prioritize the order of specific materials in case you are unable to get through everything in your 50-minute time slot. To participate in the Wende’s Digitization Day\, you must bring your own portable USB-A-compatible storage device\, such as an external hard drive or thumb drive. Please note that the amount of storage on the device may limit the number of scans or the types of file formats you can save. TIFFs take up much more storage space than JPGs. If you have questions about what type of portable USB-A-compatible storage device or file format will work best for your needs\, you can reach out to staff at research@wendemuseum.org. \nThe Wende offers free parking in the lot adjacent to the building. You will enter the front entrance of the Wende Museum and from there\, you will walk through the garden towards the Glorya Kaufman Community Center and check-in to your appointment with Wende staff. Digitization Day will take place in the A-Frame theater of the Glorya Kaufman Community Center. \nPlease plan to arrive at the A-Frame Theater at least 10 minutes before your appointment time to get checked in. Once your workspace is ready\, Wende staff will show you how to operate the scanner. Staff will have a staging area available upon request if you would like to organize your materials before you start scanning. If you are signed up for a time slot with the oversized camera\, a Wende team member will work with you for the duration of your appointment. Wende staff will be present throughout the day to assist with any questions that come up while scanning your materials. \nThe number of scans you will get through will be dependent on the file format of the scans. If you are planning to scan your materials as TIFFs (the highest-quality image format type)\, the scan time will be much longer than if you are planning to scan your materials as JPGs. It can take up to 15 seconds to download a high-resolution TIFF image\, so please take that into consideration when deciding which format type to scan your materials as. \nFrequently Ask Questions: \nI have materials that would be good for the scanner and materials that would be good for the oversized camera\, can I sign up for both? \nYes\, you can sign up for both but you must sign up for the scanner during one time slot and the oversized photography for a different time slot\, as you will be involved in the imaging on both set ups. If you sign up for both the scanner and the oversized photograph during the same time slot\, one will have to be forfeited and given to someone on the waitlist. \nWhat do I need to bring to participate in Digitization Day? \nIn order to participate in Digitization Day\, participants must bring materials they would like to scan and a portable USB-A-compatible storage device (such as an external hard drive or thumb drive). \nI signed up in-person for an appointment at a later time/am on the waitlist\, what should I do while I wait for an appointment? \nThe museum galleries are open between 10am and 5pm on Fridays and you are welcome to visit the museum while you wait. There are also plenty of cafes and a park near the Wende Museum if you would prefer to wait elsewhere. If you are on the waitlist\, you will receive a call from staff that an appointment has opened up so it is wise to stay within close enough proximity to return to the museum for your session. \nWill the museum staff do the scanning for me? \nWhile staff will be on hand to show you how to operate the machine and assist with trouble shooting\, staff will not be doing the scanning for you. Digitization Day participants will be doing their own scanning.
