“Color is descriptive. Black and white is interpretive.”
– Eliott Erwitt
Working in black and white forces the artist to focus on the essentials - composition, contrast, negative and positive space. Time and time again, we've seen this singular focus lead to exceptional works of art. That's why we're showcasing black and white work in our February art exhibit.
Ebony & Ivory Art Show is an open call themed show highlighting black and white works. Pieces may also incorporate a splash of color, but should be essentially black and white. Paintings, drawings, photographs, and digital compositions will be accepted. Four prizes will be awarded.
TO ENTER:
- Complete & attach Entry Labels to your pieces. You can download Entry Labels here.
Please review the detailed information below before entering. If you have any questions, contact the gallery.
We look forward to seeing YOUR pieces in the Ebony & Ivory Exhibit!
