A first of its kind interactive sound installation will soon be leaving The 222 Gallery, but not without a special celebration for the community at 6 pm Friday February 6.
The Musical Bridge is an AI music installation provided by Magical Bridge Foundation, known for its award-winning intergenerational playgrounds, as a way to bring awareness and support for the Badger Park project. Thanks to an anchor donor to replace the current Badger Park aging playground with a Magical Bridge one, the Foundation is working with community and local volunteer project ambassadors to identify an additional $1.5M needed to make the playground in Healdsbburg a reality. The event at The 222 will include Magical Bridge Project Ambassador volunteers, community members, city leaders, and supporters for an evening of social innovation and reimagination of public spaces for all. Guests will learn more about the Magical Bridge playground coming to Badger Park, and experience the groundbreaking Musical Bridge AI—where music, artificial intelligence, and humanity meet.
A highlight of the evening will be a special presentation by Dr. Nolan Gasser, acclaimed Pandora musicologist, composer, and architect of the Musical Bridge AI experience. Dr. Gasser will guide guests through how this innovative technology uses music to spark joy, connection, and belonging across generations and abilities.
“This evening is a wonderful example of how Magical Bridge brings community together, both on and off the playground,” said Olenka Villarreal, CEO of Magical Bridge. “Badger Park’s Magical Bridge will be a place where everyone belongs, and this event is an invitation to be part of that story from the very beginning.”
The City of Healdsburg echoed the excitement, noting that the project reflects the city’s commitment to inclusion, creativity, and community-building.
Set within the vibrant and intimate atmosphere of The 222 Gallery, the evening promises inspiration, conversation, and a glimpse into a future where public spaces are designed for everyone.
Community members, friends, families, and supporters are encouraged to attend. Whether you are already involved or simply curious, this is a chance to connect, be inspired, and help bring something truly magical to Healdsburg.
