Monochromatic: A National Juried Exhibition

Monochromatic: A National Juried Exhibition is a national juried competition calling for artists to submit monochromatic artwork. Monochrome is defined as the exploration of one color: varying in shade, tone, and tint of a single hue. All monochrome variations of colors in the color wheel are encouraged. Examples of popular monochrome artists include Yves Klein, Frank Stella, Josef Albers, and Ellsworth Kelly. The juror is Jason Roth, Co-owner of Ro2 Art, a contemporary fine art gallery located in the Cedars Neighborhood near Downtown Dallas.

The exhibition accepts artists working in painting, drawing, prints, mixed media, collage, photography, ceramics, books, textiles, wall sculptures, and wall installations.
