Wavelength: Yellow

Wavelength is an open call for color-specific artwork exploring the physical spectrum of visible color. This year's exhibition is focused solely on the color of yellow. Works do not need to be ONLY yellow, but must have a strong yellow presence. Artists are invited to submit works of any medium, including but not limited to: painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, ceramic, installation, video, and fiber. This exhibition will change color each iteration, offering a fun investigation into how different frequencies can shape human perception and spatial experience.
