Visual artists are invited to submit works that explore the intersection of sound and visual art. They encourage artists to experiment with sound in innovative ways—whether through sound-producing elements within the artwork itself, the inclusion of sound as a component of the installation, or by visually representing sound in a way that evokes an auditory experience. Sound is not a requirement to enter the exhibition.
