All of the entries are in!

We are extremely delighted at the creativity, skill, talent, and insight shown by these submissions. HOORAY and THANK YOU to all of these musicians, songwriters and composers who rose to the challenge of the Art for Your Ears competition! Now the rest of us can show our support by downloading and listening to this eclectic array of music. Have even more fun by putting the music on an iPod or other MP3 player and bringing it to Joslyn Art Museum to experience along with the art that inspired it. Each of the 23 songs below relates to an artwork or artworks in the Art on the Edge exhibition. That's why this page is organized first by the title of the visual artwork, and then by the name of the composer, musician or band who created a piece about that artwork.
