COLOR 24
7th Annual Juried Exhibition
Get ready for our most vibrant, powerful, and anticipated exhibition of the year coming to the 3 Square Art gallery in Fort Collins, Colorado—COLOR 24! This year’s exhibit promises to be an explosion of complex and nuanced colors for a sensory feast that transcends traditional boundaries. Splashes of color, lines of colors, dabs of color, colored fabric, colored hair, color color color! Throw yourself full force into the world of color and bath in this showcase of creativity! This exhibit is going to highlight color in every way. The 7th Annual COLOR Exhibit is here this May 2024!
Color is an integral element of artistic expression and finds its roots in the fundamental teachings of art theory. Venture back to the foundations of art where the color wheel, primary colors, and secondary colors dance on the canvas creating a symphony of visual delight. An entire generation of artists who pioneered Color Field painting during the transformative 50s and 60s. Icons like Mark Rothko, Joan Miró, Jackson Pollock, Helen Frankenthaler, and Clyfford Still left an indelible mark on the art world, paving the way for the contemporary exploration of color. Today's artists harness a myriad of unconventional materials and tools – electronics, neon, LEDs, Post-It notes, computers, videos, and markers – to create a symphony of color that transcends the boundaries of imagination.
Brace yourself for a visual adventure where color becomes a language, and the canvas transforms into a playground of emotions, ideas, and interpretations. Join us as we redefine the boundaries of artistic expression in a world where color knows no limits.
