(Art by Michelle Schultz)
A Soulful Journey Through Light, Color, Music & Scent
Step into an evening of soul, story, and transformation at Michelle Schultz’s First Friday art opening on May 2 from 6-6:45pm in the Box Factory Breezeway.
Grab a wine from Stoller Wine Bar and wander through a glowing corridor lined with fairy lights and years of artwork, curated to evoke the emotional and spiritual evolution of an artist. Titled The Art of Becoming, this intimate pop-up-style show is a reflective walk through Schultz’s personal transformation — expressed through paint, color, and emotion. From raw moments of pain to luminous bursts of joy, every piece tells part of a deeper story of becoming.
To heighten the sensory experience, the space will be infused with the signature scent from Wickforest Candle Co., Moonflower, a candle co-created with Schultz herself. The warm, mystical fragrance will add an aromatic layer of sanctuary to the evening.
Adding to the magic, Julia Elyana Canales will perform live on an electric violin, filling the breezeway with hauntingly beautiful music that echoes the emotional arc of the artwork.
Schultz shares, “This is an invitation to pause and remember your own resilience.”
