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. Which is why we're showcasing black and white work in our February art exhibit . . . with just a pop of color!

JUDGE'S STATEMENT

“It was a great honor to judge these creative works of art and feel the heart and soul that each artist has put into their work. I loved the dynamic quality of the darks against the lights with a touch of warmth to pull you in."
