The 2021 exhibition Music as Image and Metaphor brings together forty-one works by twenty-eight artists from the Kentler Flatfiles focused on the theme of music.  The show includes a suite of miniature musical correspondences, one for each visual work, created by composer-pianist Michael Kowalski and percussionist-composer Allen Otte.
