Audio Visions is the gallery's 2022 community exhibition, following last year's "Rethinking the Winter Solstice" theming.
Art gallery curator, Ray Wholohan explained the theming, and the goal of creating a strong thematic element that wasn't as restrictive as the seasonal theme last year.
"We wanted a strong theme for our 2022 community exhibition, but one that would not be as prescriptive as the previous year's Rethinking the Winter Solstice - which was rooted in elemental forces such seasons, landscape and environment," said Mr Wholohan.
"For Audio Visions, we've asked local artists to paint their favourite piece of music!"

Music has been an inspiration for many artists over the years, and has been reflected in iconic works such as Piet Mondrian's "Broadway Boogie Woogie" and the works of Henri Matisse.
The exhibition this year promises a range of interesting talks and opportunities for the community to really connect with the artworks on display.
After the opening night on April 14, there will be a lunch event at the gallery along with a 15-minute tour of the exhibition on April 20, courtesy of the Lunch Society. Signups to the group are free, but there will be a $20 charge for lunch.
Local live-coder Bernard Gray will be showcasing the medium in a live show on May 5, featuring himself and other Decoded members following a series of workshops in the art of live-coding as artistic expression.
Tickets to the show are $5. Accompanying the show will be a talk on music in art history.
