We are delighted to partner with the Salina Art Center for this exhibition, which will take place prior to our Jan. 17 “Nature & Grandeur” Concert. Artists, please see below for more information!

CALL FOR ARTISTS | POP-UP EXHIBITION

Inspired by Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6 (“Pastoral”), this exhibition celebrates the beauty, power, and emotional resonance of the natural world. Rather than simply depicting scenery, Pastoral invites artists to explore their personal relationship with the landscape—its quiet moments, changing seasons, working fields, forests, waterways, wildlife, weather, and the sense of wonder, peace, or awe that nature inspires.

Artists are encouraged to submit work in any medium that reflects the spirit of the pastoral, whether through realistic landscapes, abstract interpretations, environmental themes, or contemporary perspectives on our connection to the land. From tranquil meadows to dramatic storms, cultivated fields to untamed wilderness, we welcome artwork that captures the many ways nature shapes our lives and imaginations..

This exhibition is in partnership with Salina Symphony and their perfomance of “Nature & Grandeur” which will take place on Sunday January 17th, 2027 at the Stiefel Theatre. This exhibition features German composer Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6, “Pastoral”. From tranquil landscapes to monumental sound, Nature and Grandeur begins with Beethoven’s gently unfolding “Pastoral” Symphony, a heartfelt tribute to nature that captures birdsong, flowing streams, and the quiet joy of the countryside.

Please visit our website to learn more! This exhibition is FREE to enter.

but trying to be cool...

Why did the orchestra absolutely cook at rehearsal?
Because every section understood the assignment, the conductor had the whole vibe locked in, and the finale was low-key giving. 🎻🔥
