GROOVIN’ .
Where Art Meets Music.

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

This exhibition is not simply about depicting music. Groove can be literal — musicians, instruments, performance. It can be physical: carved marks, stitched patterns, layered gestures, repeated forms that build visual rhythm. It may live in the body, in movement and flow, or in the quiet internal cadence of a studio practice.

For many artists, music is not just inspiration — it is an active collaborator.

We are especially interested in the role music and music components play in how you create. Do you work to a specific song on repeat? Does a certain album shape the pace, tone, or emotional direction of your work?  Do you use rhythm, texture, beat, timbre, genre in your works?  Are you incorporating sheet music, calligraphic marking, tone and tempo in your work?

We encourage submissions that reflect this relationship — whether directly or abstractly:
  — Work inspired by or structured around a specific song
— Visual translations of rhythm, tempo, or musical form
— Repetition and pattern as a kind of visual "loop"
— Gesture, movement, and improvisation in mark-making
— Pieces tied to memory, emotion, or time through music
  — Cultural or genre-based influences (jazz, punk, hip-hop, ambient, etc.)
  — Disruptions of rhythm — glitch, interruption, improvisation
