Works Of Tim Minchin, Teskey Brothers And The Triffids To Feature At Art Of Music Event

The 2021 Art Of Music artwork collection - which pairs Australian music acts with some of the country's best artists - has been revealed today. 

Taking place at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney on Saturday 17 July, a number of huge names will feature in the collection including Tim Minchin, The Teskey Brothers, The Triffids, Ngaiire, and Marlon Williams & Aldous Harding.

Founded by Jenny Morris, the event sees a group of contemporary visual artists "each choose a song or musical artist to inspire a piece of artwork. The artists can take their inspiration from the melody, the lyrics, the album cover or even the singer. It’s entirely up to them as to how they interpret the music".

The artwork will then be auctioned off at the July event, with proceeds to go to Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy (Noro).

"It’s a thrill to be presenting Art Of Music once again. We had to postpone last year but I’m hoping it makes everyone all the more hungry for high quality, original and collectable works," Morris said.

“As always, my thinking around compiling the collection was to cover as many creative disciplines, styles and price ranges as possible so that there is something for everyone. Sailing above all of that of course, is the intent to present quality works.

"It has always been important to me to present works that will appeal not only to seasoned collectors, but also works that will whet the appetites of those beginning to see the value of buying art."

Minchin and Ngaiire, as well as fellow Aussie favourite Kate Ceberano, will also perform on the night. 

"I’m so stoked to be part of this amazing event, raising money for a brilliant charity alongside brilliant people," Minchin said.
