What would it be like to see music?
Can you imagine what your favorite piece of music might look like?
Since music is abstract by nature – it has been exceedingly important to the birth and development of abstract art.
Music expresses the inner feelings of the soul and does not try to represent the exterior world.
Different types of music can create varied artistic responses.
How will music inspire you? Teams of high school students are invited to visually respond to a piece of music of their choice, using any material or art medium, in the creation of one large-scale art installation that activates and energizes their allotted space in the Attleboro Arts Museum’s gallery.
Students will act as visual composers – choosing what color, shape and form their art installation will take – ultimately bringing music into the realm of seeing.

Exhibition Juror Andrew Stevens
Juror Andrew Stevens has been curator of the collection of prints, drawings and photographs for the Chazen Museum at the University of Wisconsin for more than 25 years, caring for a collection of 14,000 works on paper and organizing more than 80 exhibitions. He has published on a variety of subjects from the prints of 18th century printmaker, William Hogarth, to the color woodcut in Japan, Europe and America.
Stevens most recent publications trace the development of monotype and related processes used by American artists from the late 19th century into the late 20th century. In 2015, He curated the exhibition American Monotypes from the Baker/Pisano Collection, which examined the popularity of the monotype in America and how techniques developed in America over the past two centuries, placing the medium into historical context.
Stevens comments, “I am honored to juror MGNE’s Fourth National Monotype/Monoprint Exhibition. The continued experimentation with the print medium of monotype is the result of exactly the same features of the process that interested artists like Degas and Cassat at the end of the nineteenth century.” Stevens continues, “Of all the print processes, it is the most spontaneous and innovative. Its ability to capture a deft stroke of the artist’s hand gives it great appeal to the skilled sketcher, while its simplicity makes it an ideal platform for the sorts of experiments that have intrigued [generations of] American artists.”
Open to all mediums, sizes & concepts that relate to, or include, a pattern. Consider zebra stripes, the family tartan, flight patterns, nautilus shell curves, quilts, breathing patterns, a strand of pearls, dress patterns, kaleidoscopes, waffle irons, wallpaper ... Patterns will be on display at the Attleboro Arts Museum from June 22–July 22, 2016. Six prizes of $100 each will be awarded.
