This limited color palette will allow artists to focus on the interplay of light and shadow, texture, form, and contrast.
This show may include a variety of mediums, such as drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, and sculpture.
By restricting the use of color, we’ll challenge artists to experiment with different techniques and push the boundaries of their creative expression.
