Synesthetic Soundscapes

2025 Summer Open Call

treat gallery is excited to announce the exhibitors for our online feature: "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 challenged visual artists to submit work 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.

Exhibitors include Andrew Chalfen, Benjamin Squires, Benna Holden, Chelsea Garcia, Cheryl Safren, Owen Brown, Yuna Ding, Dahlia Montebarba, Durdiga Vucinic, Farras Abdelnour, Gary Justis and Kate Jarboe.

treat gallery has a proven track record of helping others through contemporary art. We donate 15-100% of sales to a nonprofit in every project we take on. We partner with like-minded professionals and businesses with a shared goal of making the contemporary art field more honest and tangible. We have placed work in major public and private collections and specialize in affordable, contemporary art by emerging artists.

For Synesthetic Soundscapes, 25% of Sales will be donated to MusiCan, a Brooklyn, NY based nonprofit that offers a variety of music programs to New York City children from disadvantaged neighborhoods to equip them with the discipline, confidence, and team-building skills necessary to reach their full potential. Their focus is on schools with scarce resources and where other music programs are not available.
