Call Description

A Thousand Shades of Green

An Exhibition at Sebastopol Center for the Arts 

Exhibition Dates: October 25th - November 30th

 We invite artists to submit artwork for A Thousand Shades of Green, an upcoming exhibition exploring the many interpretations of the color green. What does green mean to you? Does it bring feelings of renewal and life, or perhaps money or envy? It could be a lush landscape, or perhaps a horrifying zombie. Whatever it may be, if it's green it's welcomed into this exhibit.

Your piece does not need to be entirely green - it can incorporate other colors - as long as it has a strong green component or engages with the ideas/symbolism of the color green. We welcome all mediums and encourage artists to let their imagination guide them in exploring what green represents to them.
