Color is one of the most immediate elements of visual experience. It can shape atmosphere, evoke emotion, suggest memory, and transform the way we see and feel. Edgewater Gallery invites artists to submit work for a national juried group exhibition, Celebrating Color, that will explore color in any form and/or dimension.

Submissions may take any form or approach. We are especially interested in works that demonstrate a distinctive relationship to color—through intensity, harmony, contrast, material presence, or unexpected chromatic combinations.
