I SEE RED
I am a big fan of the color RED. I wear red clothing. I own a red Jeep. I eat red foods. My husband and I sing together as the Pea Pickin’ Hearts, and we sing a song called “I See Red” about throwing away the rose-colored glasses in exchange for the red-eyed passion of life–good or bad.
Check out this next Call for Entries that screams “Red” to me. Lipstick & Rouge is the first juried show for Second Space Gallery in Spokane, Washington. The entry fee is as low as $10 too. I need a cupcake.
CALL for ENTRIES: Lipstick & Rouge
Second Space Gallery invites you to enter the juried exhibition entitled Lipstick and Rouge to be held in Spokane, Washington during December 2010. The title refers to the ways in which we perceive beauty through color. In the past, red has been associated with passion, love, anger, heat and a range of other things.
The desire of Second Space Gallery is to see what it means to the artists. Over $1000 in prize money will be awarded to artists whose work adheres to theme, demonstrates impact and energy, and stimulates us visually.
