🎨 Color of the Week

Every color tells a story. Every story has a voice.

As we continue the countdown to The Beauty of Blackness Fine Art Show this Labor Day Weekend in Fort Collins, we're inviting our community to reflect on the colors, memories, and emotions that connect us through art.

💜 Color of the Week: Purple

Purple has long been associated with creativity, imagination, wisdom, and royalty. It invites us to dream, create, and see possibilities where others may not.

Every artist begins with a vision.

What does purple remind you of?

Share your thoughts in the comments—we'd love to hear your story.

Because every color has a story—and every story adds to the beauty.

We can't wait to celebrate with you September 3-6, 2026, in Fort Collins.

EXPERIENCE THE ART | Don O'Bannon

Sometimes, art doesn't just speak.
Sometimes, it performs.

What if a painting could do more than hang on a wall?

Don O'Bannon's work blends traditional painting with interactive technology, transforming each piece into an experience. Using a companion app, selected paintings come alive through movement and music, allowing viewers to engage with the artwork in an entirely new way.

If these paintings could come to life, what do you think they would do?

It's one of those moments that surprises nearly everyone who experiences it. You'll have to see it to believe it.

Experience Don O'Bannon's work at the Beauty of Blackness Fine Art Show this Labor Day Weekend.
