The Color Project
How creative can you be if you're restricted to ONE color ?
That's the challenge Atlanta-based Art Co-op House has for you. The rule: choose one color- either Red, Green,Yellow or Blue- as the theme of your work and send the piece to them.
With all the submission , the Art Co-op House will put together an exhibit exploring "the relationship of color in the artists work, as well as the relationship that the color has to other works from artists around the world". They will even publish a book!!!
