​Music and visual art share deep connections in their ability to evoke emotions and communicate ideas without the need for words. The cross-pollination of ideas between these two art forms nurtures a continuous cycle of creativity, motivating artists from one discipline to express their thoughts and feelings in the language of another. This exhibit explores this intricate link, demonstrating the different ways that music guides and inspires visual artists. 

Music serves as a special muse for the artists in this show, deeply influencing the way they conceive and construct their art. These artists work in very diverse styles and media. In addition, they have found unique methods of incorporating music into their art, including creating ingenious musical instruments and musical scores, working with instrument parts, rendering images of iconic musicians, and painting the music they hear. The pieces are in turn insightful, ethereal, whimsical, and wildly imaginative. The combination makes for a show that is exciting, curious and oddly cohesive in its cacophony.
