Compete 3 Square Art Gallery 8th Annual Juried International Exhibition: Colors 25
Opportunity Description
International Deadline: April 27, 2025 – Dive into a Spectrum of Creativity at 3 Square Art Gallery, Fort Collins, Colorado! Are you ready to unleash a riot of colors? Welcome to COLOR 25, the year’s most electrifying, anticipated exhibition where color isn’t just seen—it’s experienced! Imagine walking into a gallery where every shade, hue, and tint tells a story, where art doesn’t just hang on the wall but leaps into your senses.
This June 2025, we’re not just hosting an exhibition; we’re celebrating color in all its glory. From splashes of paint, lines of colors, dabs of color, colored fabric, colored lights to digital canvases, COLOR 25 invites you to get creative and immerse yourself in an unparalleled journey of color vibrancy.
Color is the heartbeat of art. It’s where the art theory begins, with the color wheel spinning into primary and secondary colors, creating a dance of light and shadow. We pay homage to the legends like Mark Rothko, Joan Miró, and Helen Frankenthaler, whose explorations in Color Field painting revolutionized how we perceive art. Now, it’s your turn to push the boundaries even further!
COLOR 25 is your stage to showcase how color can redefine art, become a language of its own, and evoke a playground of emotions, ideas, and interpretations. Join this vibrant community, where color knows no limits, and your art could be the next to dazzle, inspire, or provoke thought. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this colorful revolution!
On display June 6 – July 18, 2025.
