The Art of Sound is an exhibition which was developed in 2013 by the National Film and Sound Archive (NFSA) in collaboration with regional art galleries in Australia, and the University of Sydney to explore the use of sound in the visual arts.[1]

The curators at the NSFA compiled a sound palette,[2] which comprises a wide variety of Australian audio recordings from the NFSA's sound collection. There are music, speeches, and sounds from the environment. The curators at partner art galleries search the sound palette to find audio material that would complement their individual artworks and combine them for unique audience experiences at each gallery.
