The new exhibition, titled Audio Visions, is aimed at combining the joys of visual art and music, inspired by the works of artists like Paul Klee, Henri Matisse, Marc Chagall, Piet Mondrian and Wassily Kandinsky who all used music as a key inspiration for their art.

The new theme comes after last year's successful theme of "Rethinking the Winter Solstice," with the goal of creating an equally strong theme but less limiting and prescriptive. Previous themes have been heavily focused on elemental forces, so it's hoped that a broader theme can inspire some art.

Griffith Regional Art Gallery Coordinator, Ray Wholohan said, "We are very excited by this year's theme and hope many local artists are inspired by the prospect of entering Audio Visions

Submitting work into the exhibition is super easy, just grab an entry form, paint your favourite piece of music, and drop them both off to the Gallery before Friday 1 April."

Mr Wholohan is encouraging everyone in the art community to enter.
