Sonic Expressions: Art + Music
An international group of artists will show their paintings, prints, drawings, hand-made musical instruments, and music videos at YC Prescott Art Gallery during September’s Sonic Expressions: Art + Music exhibition.
Artists from as far afield as New York, Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, North Carolina, and Germany responded to the gallery’s call to artists for this major group exhibition exploring the ancient relationship between art and music. The group of 27 includes local artists from Prescott, Phoenix, and the Verde Valley, and from nearby California and Colorado as well.
