“Music,” Les Miserables author Victor Hugo once noted, “expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.” The intersecting Venn diagram of music, visual art, and literature will be further explored this Thursday at Gallery A3 in Amherst when a concert of music circa 1620 is performed as part of this month’s Small Wonders holiday show.
The exhibit features 50 works by local artists, including paintings by former Gill-Montague school district elementary school art teacher Nancy Meagher, photography by former cardiologist Larry Rankin, and intermedia art by former literature major and Massachusetts College of Art MFA student Marianne Connolly (whose work is pictured).
The music is said to be secular and sacred, reverent and bawdy.
Exhibit Thursdays to Sundays, 1-7 p.m. through Dec. 27; concert Dec. 18, 7:30 p.m., Gallery A3, 28 Amity St., Amherst, (413) 256-4250, www.galleryA3.com.
