Call to Artists
Main Gallery
Rhapsody in Hue
We invite you to contribute to our exhibit “Rhapsody in Hue” at The Confluence. The show will run October 7 - November 15. The Call is open June 26 - August 7.
Music moves us – physically and emotionally. It generates mood, ideas and energy. Music creates a deep sensory form of memory that we hold on to beyond the challenges of aging and dementia. Music heals. What else does music do? It often informs our art. In this exhibit I invite artists that understand this connection to introduce the inspiration their work has to music. What do you listen to when you create? How does music inform what you make? As we celebrate the 101st birthday of Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue, let us also celebrate the power of music across creative disciplines and admire how brush, chisel and pencil often dance in response to it’s call
Here are the rules.
Number of pieces to submit: up to 4:
Each piece must be:
Your own original work.
Available for sale.
