COLOR: the beauty and science of color
Tempe Center for the Arts

COLOR is a juried exhibition of Arizona artists that highlights how color shapes the world in which we live.

Sometimes, color expresses ideas even better than words.

Patricia Sannit, Mary Meyer and Denise Yaghmourian.
Come visit artists working in studio spaces inside the Gallery at TCA.
Exhibiting Artists:
Merryn Alaka, Ryan Carey, Mikey Estes, Frank Gonzales, Lucas Knowles, Kylan Maney, Christy Puetz, Diego Vallejos
