The Color of Music invites artists to explore the place where sound transforms into visual expression. Whether inspired by a single note, a favorite song, a rhythm, a memory, or the emotional landscape music creates, this exhibition celebrates the many ways we can see music. All mediums and disciplines are welcome — if sound moves you, we want to see how you translate it into color, form, and feeling.
For full terms, details, and submission guidelines, please see the pinned post in the Discussion section.
Best in Show Cash Prize: $100
