Kandinsky said, “Lend your ears to music, open your eyes to painting…and stop thinking!”  The structural pattern of music, including melody, harmony, tempo, tone and texture, has long been a muse for the visual arts. Similarly, a song’s lyric quality may evoke powerful imagery and stir the imagination. From classical to hip-hop, cool jazz to honky-tonk, rhythm and rhyme can serve as catalysts to inspire rich visual art.

With this exhibition, the Rocky Neck Art Colony invites artists to submit up to five works inspired by music or musical lyrics in any media. Regardless of materials or the creative method, submitted work should reflect the artist’s inspiration by sound and/or song, and the accompanying artist statement should support this connection.
