A special moment at Gallery 924 this week.

We were honored to host the Percussive Arts Society, a delegation visiting from Indonesia, and representatives from the Indonesian Consulate in Chicago. During their visit, the delegation presented a Kendang Sunda, a traditional Indonesian drum, to the Percussive Arts Society for its collections.

We were honored to host this cultural exchange and celebrate the connections that music and the arts create across communities and around the world.
