The Exhibit

Peterborough Cathedral were kind enough to let us use their space to hold our exhibition and was held for a week in March of 2023.

We were also able to hold the exhibition at the University Centre Peterborough where the artwork was showcased in a different format. This provided an opportunity for student who had entered the exhibition to come see there work printed and on display if they could not make it to the Cathedral.

Want to Submit a Piece?

Pick a song or piece of music that you like and use that to create a piece of artwork. Use whatever medium you like. Remember you will need to submit a digital image of the piece so keep that in mind if you go traditional as you will have to scan it in or photograph it.

Entries must:

  • Have a 1:1 scale ratio. We recommend going for 120mmx120mm or 12"x12" if it is for the Cathedral Exhibition.

  • Be appropraite to display on Instagram and the project gallery.


This project and exhibition was created, funded and run by a small group of artists from Peterborough.
