TRUE BLUE invites artists of all disciplines to celebrate the color blue. Blue is elemental and emotional—oceanic and celestial. From ultramarine to indigo, cyan to navy, synthetic to natural, digital to mineral, blue carries stories across a spectrum of emotions. Artists at all stages of their practice are invited to submit. Join us in creating an immersive field of blue.
