ArtWords and ArtSounds
ArtWords and ArtSounds are annual competitions that cultivate and showcase University student creativity. Students select an artwork on view from the museum’s permanent collection and develop an original musical or literary piece in response. Link to the site to read and hear the student creations and view the art that inspired them. Peruse other ArtSounds audio programs related to Weisman exhibitions.
