This is going to be a great weekend for all you music lovers out there! Entering its 3rd year in 2005, the Music is Art Festival is a free two day festival on the grounds of Chameleonwest Studios in Allentown featuring over 60 local musical acts and dozens of performance artists, dancers and local artists and art cooperatives. Last year’s festival featured performances by top local acts including Klear, Last Conservative, and The Goo Goo Dolls as well as dozens of local artists showing their work, live creations of murals, photography exhibits, multimedia rooms, magicians, fire dancers and more. I was going to post the scheduleOe but after taking one look at the amount of talent that will be there, there was just no way to fit it all in this post. Sooo, here is the list! Make sure that you check out the Music is Art website for the complete schedule along with stage info.
