Coloratura is a custom-built audiovisual instrument that transforms paintbrushes into tools for creating electronic music and analog visual art. It bridges the gap between visual and sonic expression and offers a tactile, screen-free interface ideal for use in educational, creative, and therapeutic settings.

The Coloratura Collective is a pilot program that brings together a small group of artists, musicians, educators, and therapists to explore how Coloratura can be used in real-world settings.

• Each participant will receive a Coloratura device to integrate into their creative, educational or therapeutic practice

• The group will meet regularly to exchange best practices and provide design feedback

• This input will help shape future versions and implementations of Coloratura for broader accessibility

All Coloratura Collective participants will receive:

• A stipend to honor their time, insight, and creative contributions

• A materials budget to support hands-on exploration and experimentation

• Access to a Coloratura prototype for use in their own practice

• A supportive peer cohort of artists, therapists, and educators

• A role in shaping the design, accessibility, and applications of a new creative tool

• An opportunity to participate in public-facing events to showcase findings and use cases

The Coloratura Collective is designed to support consistent engagement while remaining flexible for busy professionals. The structure includes a mix of virtual and in-person sessions from February - September 2026

• One virtual meeting per month

• Four in-person sessions in the Kansas City Metro area (February, April, June, August)

• One public event (September 2026)

• Sessions are approximately 90–120 minutes each
