Bill Monroe Centennial Art Exhibit February 22, 2011

This exhibit is the result of an invitation to visual artists to share their interpretations of a Bill Monroe song. Bill Monroe often painted images with his music and in this exhibit artists have depicted their versions of these same images visually. Thirty-five artists responded to the invitation, with over sixty entries. The entries encompass many styles, from fine art to folk art. This is representative of the wide variety of people to whom Bill Monroe's music appeals. All the art on display in the Exhibit is available for purchase. Sixty percent of the proceeds will go to the artist and forty percent will go to the Museum.
