treat gallery is excited to announce "Synesthetic Soundscapes," our Summer open call of 2025.
What does sound look like? From Wassily Kandinsky's "Composition VIII" (featured) 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’re seeking visual artists whose work is 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.
We’re in search of 8 to 12 artists who take on this theme creatively for an online feature, which will run on our Website from September 1st through September 30th.
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.
The deadline to apply is Sunday, August 24th, 11:59 EST.
Artists will be notified no later than Wednesday, August 27th.
