Shades of Silence: Black and White

By removing color from the equation, this exhibition foregrounds the essential elements of visual expression—line, form, texture, value, and shape—and invites artists and viewers alike to slow down and look more closely.

Black and white art distills imagery to its core. Shadows become architecture, light defines emotion, and surfaces reveal their subtleties. This exhibition seeks work that explores monochrome not as a limitation, but as a creative strength—whether through bold graphic statements, quiet tonal shifts, or intricate material exploration.

We welcome a wide range of interpretations, from representational to abstract, conceptual to experimental. Artists may engage themes such as light and shadow, absence and presence, structure and gesture, time and memory, or purely formal investigation. Works may feel dramatic or restrained, minimal or richly textured, but all must rely solely on black, white, and grayscale values.


All wall-hung artwork must be properly wired with two loops and professional picture wire. Saw tooth hangers, photo frames with triangular tabs, tape, string, monofilament, other types of wire, or any other materials are not acceptable and will be refused, regardless of advance notification of acceptance. No artwork can be affixed to our walls.

Artwork must be delivered completed and ready to be displayed.
