Colour moves us, inspires us, draws us in. Our ability to see colour is partially a survival skill and partially pure pleasure. Their names are among the first words we learn. We find ourselves drawn to certain hues and repelled by others. Our responses are biological, cultural and personal. Colours embody emotion and mood, and symbolize allegiance to everything from nationalism to brands to sports teams. Colour can animate and colour can soothe.
Chroma will provide an opportunity for MAWA members to show a small, colourful work and, if they choose, sell it with all proceeds going to the artist. The maximum finished dimensions we can accommodate are 2 x 2 feet. Work can be submitted framed or unframed. Download and fill out the artist contract below. Paper copies will also be available at MAWA if you do not have a printer.
