‘Limited Palette’
August 24 – September 25
LIMITED PALETTE 2026 Application
Painting with a limited palette can mean selecting the fewest paint colours possible to create the widest range of tones on the spectrum. It can also mean choosing the smallest quantity of pigments that are required to create a range of colours that suit the effect you want to create in your artwork. Monochromatic (using only a single colour) would also be considered a limited palette.
We’re encouraging artists to pick three (or less) different colours to include in our limited palettes for this show – not including the pigments that create tints (white) and shade (black or burnt umber).
By using a limited palette in oil, acrylic and watercolour, or any other medium – Artists can mix a diverse range of values and tones -you can create a wonderfully harmonious effect.

‘Tangled Roots’
September 28 – October 30
Come join us in exploring “Tangled Roots.” Where we’ll emphasize compositions where lines or forms intertwine, creating friction and complexity. Artists are encouraged to tangle brushstrokes, patterns, figures or even typographic elements to create a busy non-realistic piece that reflects the art of nature’s inner workings. This creates a window for open interpretation from the viewer. Letting them consciously define their own image.
In some cases, tangling is its literal definition (knotted hair, braided rope, interwoven cords) and sometimes it’s structural (overlapping textures, intersecting silhouettes, tangled perspective,) but either way it emphasizes themes like confusion, desire, fate, memory or the ways ideas and visual input can overlap and refuse to resolve. Dig into your interpretation of the complexity of daily life and the correspondence of our environment with compositions in mind.
