Monochrome: Color & Word
Visit the Spring Exhibit
At the Firehouse Gallery
Sat/Sun April 26, 27, May 3, 4, 12-4pm
Participants were invited to explore a single color, including white or black, through its various shades and temperatures in any 2-D or 3-D medium – OR
Because April is Poetry month, to submit their poems or prose in a framed format – OR
To combine their words and art in a single composition.
As you will see when you visit the exhibit, the results were overwhelmingly satisfying.
