Core New Art Space: The Red Show

Core New Art Space invites all artists working in any medium to express what the color red means to them. The exhibition explores red's historical significance in art, from the 16,000-year-old bison paintings in Spain's Cave of Altamira to its contemporary use across cultures as a symbol of power, seduction, warning, celebration, and emotion.
