478 Creatives and Bragg Jam are partnering with Tanglewood Art Studios to present Sound Check, a group exhibition featuring original artwork created on vinyl records. Timed to coincide with Bragg Jam’s summer schedule release and awards celebration, this show invites artists to transform a familiar musical object into a visual statement.
We’re looking for work that honors the spirit of music—its nostalgia, its energy, its ability to hold memory—while pushing vinyl beyond sound and into story. Whether painted, sculpted, altered, or reimagined, each record becomes a physical artifact of creative expression.
