Synesthetic Soundscapes

treat gallery is excited to announce "Synesthetic Soundscapes," our Summer open call of 2025.

What does sound look like? From Wassily Kandinsky's "Composition VIII" to Piet Mondrian’s “Broadway Boogie Woogie” to the Iconic "Dance" by Henri Matisse - into the contemporary Sonic Sculptures of Martin Klimas - music has long inspired visual art. We’re seeking visual artists whose work is inspired by specific songs, lyrics - and/or the power, rhythm, and emotion of music for open call Synesthetic Soundscapes—a feature that explores the deep connection between what we hear and what we see.

We’re in search of 8 to 12 artists who take on this theme creatively for an online feature, which will run on our Website from September 1st through September 30th.

The deadline to apply is Sunday, August 24th, 11:59 EST.
Artists will be notified no later than Wednesday, August 27th.
