Sound Visual art show, curated by Veronica Kumpf, exhibits the works of artists inspired by sound or music.  Contemporary working artists whose inspiration has been enhanced by the ephemeral of music.  Genre painting dates back centuries and in today’s visual culture the images of musicians abound.  However contemporary artists explore aspects of sound and music that move beyond the typical image of a performer.  Using new media, sculpture, traditional painting, mixed media, photography and graphics, this group involved in Sound Visual express music as can only be seen through the critical contemporary lens of todays artists.

Sound Visual brings an experience each Saturday night during the month of October where sound artists/musicians perform their most experimental exploratory works.  Beyond the filter of pop music and tradition, we explore the contemporary musician pushing the boundaries and making new discoveries in their ephemeral art.
