Call For Art: Art & Soul Exhibition

Register or Login to submit.

The Mosesian Center for the Arts seeks two- and three-dimensional art in all mediums for our upcoming exhibition “Art & Soul” which explores the relationships we have with musicians and bands. Artwork will span all decades and genres from Mozart, Sam Cooke, Elvis, The Beatles and Madonna to Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, Lady Gaga and Jay-Z. The exhibition will feature professional and emerging contemporary art, as well as fan art, that is inspired by, pays tribute to or otherwise celebrates musicians, bands and music culture. This exhibition is timed to coincide with our Annual Mosesian Awards Gala that will honor Rock ‘n Roll historian, acclaimed author and prolific storyteller Peter Guralnick. The opening reception will feature a DJ spinning hits from the musicians and bands that inspired artwork featured in the show, free munchies and a 21+ cash bar.

Please note: All mediums of original art (or high quality prints) are acceptable. Please price work accordingly.
