🎨 Black & White plus One: A Call for Art Submissions 🖤🤍

Show runs from Saturday, June 21 2025 through Wednesday, July 23, 2025

This June 2025, This Gallery on 4th St invites 2D artists from the NEO region to participate in our thought-provoking Black & White plus One art competition. This exhibition will explore the delicate balance between order and chaos—themes we all navigate daily in our lives.

The Challenge:
Your task is to create artwork that uses black and white (and every shade in between) along with One additional color of your choice. But here’s the catch—that color can’t take up more than 5% of your piece.

The subject matter should embody the concept of the everyday struggle between order and chaos, a reflection of the ebb and flow of life’s balance. Whether you approach this theme through realism, surrealism, or abstraction, we encourage you to push your creativity and vision to its limits.

Eligibility:
Open to all artists in the NEO region—regardless of location or experience level. We welcome both representational and abstract works, as long as they adhere to the thematic concept. This is your opportunity to make a statement using contrast, composition, and creativity—without the use of traditional color.

Submission Details:

• Artwork Format: PNG or JPEG only

• Deadline: Submit by June 14, 202

  Let the tension of light and dark, the play of form and structure, guide you as you explore the push and pull between order and chaos. We look forward to seeing how you create your masterpiece within the bounds of Black & White plus One.
