Art of Noise: A Symphony of Art, Inspired by Sound

An Exhibition by Rebecca June-Edwards and DJ Dust

The Beehive Pub (Chapel), Swindon. Art Exhibition 21st - 28th June 2025. DJ Night, The Beehive Pub Saturday 28th June (approx 7:30pm)

Join us for a unique fusion of art and music and immerse yourself in the vibrant sounds of creativity!

Art of Noise invites you to submit artwork inspired by or created to your favourite songs.

We’re not just talking about album covers—how does music shape your creation and influence its appearance? The subject can be anything fuelled by the chosen song: rhythms in painted rivers, explosions in etched skies, abstract reverb, dark melodic forests. Let your imagination run wild 😎

This week-long exhibition will culminate in a DJ Night, curated by DJ Dust, with the playlist dictated by the songs the art on the walls was made to.

Celebrate creativity with us, as we bring a people's playlist to life through art and music. We can't wait to see you there!

A bit about your curator

Hey there! I'm Rahford does Art, an artist, serial ponderer, and music lover based in Swindon, Wiltshire. Since 2016, I've been creating digital and mixed media art, showcasing my work locally, designing album covers, illustrating children's books, and sharing my creative adventures online.

My art evolves through layers of definition and vibrant colour tones, with textures and details guiding each piece. Music is my muse, and my eclectic taste—from classical to rock to folk and electronic — shapes my creative process. Each artwork, to me, is a unique reflection of the sounds that inspire it.

Art is my way of connecting with the world. Through my work, I aim to inspire others to see the beauty in the world and the joy in the fusion of art and music.
