Color

ARC Gallery in Chicago, IL seeks entries for a juried art exhibition, Feb 3-25, 2023. Juror: Ann Rintz. Color is one of the most exciting elements of art. It personifies beauty, expresses emotion, and creates a mood. The power of color has a profound effect on the viewer. It's one of the first ways we learn to decipher the world around us. Color can sway thinking, and cause reactions both joyful and extreme. Color can seem absolute, but it shifts and changes. Artists manipulate color to turn our perceptions on their heads; to challenge our understanding of reality. Color is magical. Color is cultural. Color is symbolic. Color signifies. Join us as we transform and saturate the gallery with an exploration and celebration of color. All mediums and materials are eligible, including video and performance. Due to space limitations, no large projections will be accepted. $40 for 1-3 images. $10 for each add'l image. Deadline: December 30, 2022, 11:59pm CST. More info. Contact: email or call 312-877-5760.
