Shades of Blue

Prospectus

J. Mane Gallery invites submissions for its Shades of Blue online juried art exhibition.  

Blue is a fascinating color in art, carrying various symbolic meanings across cultures and contexts. It's often associated with tranquility, depth, and stability. Many artists use blue to evoke feelings of calmness, serenity, and peace. In some instances, it symbolizes sadness or melancholy, as seen in artworks where it represents emotions like loneliness or introspection.

For this competition, artists are encouraged to challenge themselves and share their artistic vision and interpretation of the color blue. The artwork can vary from realism to surrealism to abstraction, and all media are accepted, including 3-D. All artists over the age of 18, regardless of location or experience, are encouraged to submit their best inspired work.
