CERT presents Sound and Vision, an art exhibition taking place on 21st November, 2024, at Elevator Studios, Liverpool. Featuring artists like Kelly Irvine, Stuart Harrison, and Mark Wigan, the show explores the relationship between sound and visual art.
Sound and Vision explores the ways artists interpret the world of sound, its rhythms, moods, and emotions, through visual mediums. Using varied styles and approaches, the artists create visual experiences that evoke the essence of music, voice, and silence, transforming the intangible quality of sound into a rich visual landscape.
Johnny V, Community Engagement Marketing Manager at CERT and the exhibition’s curator, shared his vision for the event: “Sound and Vision isn’t just an art exhibition; it’s a sensory exploration. We wanted to give artists a platform to interpret what sound means to them and translate it into visuals that viewers can feel. This show is all about pushing boundaries and blending artistic senses in a new way.”
CERT strives to create opportunities for local communities, turning the vacant space at its music and tech hub Elevator Studios into an opportunity to support under-represented talents.
Howard Lord, Managing Director of CERT, comments on the event, saying, “Sound and Vision is part of our commitment to giving back to the community. By opening up spaces like Elevator Studios with free events that bring local people together, we’re not only showcasing incredible talent from the region, we’re also contributing to meaningful causes that matter in our communities.”
All the donations from the exhibition will benefit Music in Mind’s Voices of Hope and Peace project, an initiative dedicated to sharing the experiences of Ukrainian communities displaced by conflict and now living across the North West. Their stories will culminate in a multimedia performance by Ukrainian musicians and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, streaming across Britain and internationally on February 24, 2025, the third anniversary of Ukraine’s invasion, to share messages of resilience and hope.
CERT invites the public to join Sound and Vision at Elevator Studios for a night of art that celebrates Liverpool’s creative spirit while supporting a project that honours the strength of displaced communities.
The event tickets are FREE via Eventbrite, but donations to the charity are strongly encouraged. Please visit CERT’s Sound and Vision Fundraising Page to contribute.
