About this Event

Drawing inspiration from the iconic 1990s television show celebrated for its creativity, humor, and bold cultural expression, In Living Color delves into the transformative power of color as both a deeply personal and profoundly collective experience.

In a world marked by uncertainty, rapid change, and social challenges, the artists featured in this exhibition embrace their creative practice as an act of hope and resilience. Through vibrant hues, daring compositions, and layered narratives, they capture the complexity of contemporary life while reminding us that even in turbulent times, art offers a vision of possibility and renewal.

The exhibition presents a dynamic mix of bold abstract canvases, vivid mixed media works, and striking portraits and figurative pieces. Each artwork reflects rich cultural identities, emotional storytelling, and the power of color as a universal language of

connection, resistance, and joy. These pieces not only document lived experiences but also serve as beacons, inviting viewers to imagine and strive for a brighter, more unified future.

Ultimately, In Living Color celebrates how artists today use color and creativity to process the world around them, uplift communities, and keep alive the enduring belief that beauty, justice, and human connection can prevail.ce, adding rhythm and movement to the visual feast on view.
