Art lovers are being invited to check out some eye music.

The Burnaby Art Gallery is offering up an outreach exhibition at the McGill library branch in North Burnaby until March 12.

The rehearsal, Eye Music Gallery, 1982, is a portfolio of work from the City of Burnaby's permanent art collection.

The Eye Music Gallery portfolio was published in 1982 as a fundraising project for Toronto's Music Gallery.

It was curated by participating artists Michael Snow and Nobua Kubota, and many of the artists chosen for the project were musicians or sound poets.

The majority of the prints in the exhibition were printed at Jerry Shiner's Art Printer in Toronto.

The portfolio was purchased by the Burnaby Art Gallery in 1994, and this is the first time the complete portfolio has been shown by the gallery.

The McGill branch of Burnaby Public Library is at 4595 Albert St. It's open Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m.
