Announcing the Installation of “The Art of Music”; A Cross-Disciplinary Showcase at Augusta & Co. Gallery

Staff Report From Georgia CEO

Tuesday, April 7th, 2026

The Greater Augusta Arts Council is proud to present The Art of Music, a dynamic cross-disciplinary exhibition on view at the Augusta & Co. Gallery from March 26 through June 25, 2026. A public reception will be held on Friday, April 3, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Artists of all genres have inspired one another since the beginning of time, and this exhibition builds on that enduring creative exchange. In 2025, the Arts Council launched The Art of Words in the City Gallery, which paired CSRA-based visual artists with local writers who created original works inspired by visual art. This showcase saw the publication of a free-to-the-public book funded by a generous grant through the Porter Fleming Foundation. Now, with The Art of Music, the concept evolves, bringing together the visual and musical arts in an immersive, collaborative experience.

For this exhibition, 10 local musicians have been paired with 10 local visual artists. Over the course of eight weeks, each visual artist created a new piece inspired by an original song. The resulting works are displayed alongside QR codes that link directly to the paired music on Spotify, allowing visitors to experience both art forms simultaneously and gain deeper insight into each artist’s creative process.

Participating musicians include The Beached Whale Project, Sun-Li, AE the Cool, Wimzy, JBlock, Yunie, Nery Kim, Sounds of Brilliance, Chris Hardy World, and Perfect Backseat Driver. Visual artists include Bryson Kelly, ColoredInCanvas, ERICA PASTECKI, PASC, Theron Cartwright, Destinee Love, Amy Jackson, Baruti Tucker, Francie Klopotic, and Deepti Malik.

Located in the back of the Augusta & Co. store and visitor center at 1010 Broad Street, the gallery offers an accessible and engaging space for residents and visitors alike to explore Augusta’s vibrant creative community. This exhibition is free and open to the public during regular Augusta & Co. hours.
