Throw yourself full force into the world of color and unleash your creativity! This exhibit is going to highlight color in every way. The 6th Annual COLOR Exhibit is here this 2023!
Color theory is taught in art foundation training. Remember the color wheel, primary colors, and secondary colors? And how they can play off each other. An entire generation of artists influenced by abstract expressionism created a movement called Color Field painting. This isn't the 50s and 60s when great artists like Mark Rothko, Joan Miro, Jackson Pollock, Helen Frankenthaler, Clyfford Stil roamed the streets of New York made their mark. However, we now have electronics, neon, LEDs, Post-It notes, computers, videos, markers, and an endless new array of other materials and tools to use. Experience what Artists can imagine when they get colorful!
