- Opening Reception | “Music In Movement”Throughout history and across cultures artists have attempted to paint music. From Classical music to the Harlem Renaissance music has inspired great artworks. Whether you are a painter, sculptor, performer or photographer, we want to see how music is your muse.Rhythm and Movement are integral parts of the artist’s language. Rhythm in art creates a visual tempo created with the repetition of lines, shapes, colors, and more. Movement in art provides a dance for the viewer’s eye to follow. This exhibit at GALA calls for interpretations of music through art making, whether visually creating movement to a beat of a drum or finding inspiration in a song that conjures memory or stirs emotion.
