The CSO Gallery is a space where artists and music come together to bring the auditory world into the visual world. In the 2021-2022 season, this took the form of the Composer Portrait Project where group of local artists, Dauber Copse Fam, created portraits on wood, 2’x4′ in size, of each composer featured on a CSO MasterWorks Concert. Before each concert, the portraits of the composers were added to the wall making the gallery grow throughout the year until the wall was full of portraits at the final concert. To see this project visit https://www.cantonsymphony.org/gallery/.
CSO is seeking an artist to bring their creative voice to the music of the 2022-2023 season. In this application, we will ask each applicant to pitch their idea for what they would create for the 22/23 gallery.
The chosen artist will receive $1,000 to create 7-14 pieces of art for the season (1-2 per concert). The art pieces will be available for sale throughout the season. Artist will receive 30% of all sales.
