Grayscale: A Monochromatic Show in Black & White

Grayscale: A Monochromatic Show in Black & White encourages artists of all mediums to explore the dramatic world of grayscale.

For the purpose of this show, grayscale is defined as:

• A series of tones that range from black to white

• Allows for various shades of gray in between, but does not need to include shades of gray

The goal is to bring together creators of all mediums to produce a brilliant showcase of work using the limitations of a monochromatic, black and white palette to represent their subject matter and tell stories in new ways.

Show dates

Friday, November 8 - Saturday, December 7

Reception date - Thursday, November 14, 5-7 p.m. - we encourage everyone to wear grayscale to get into the theme!
