🎨 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: White

White can represent many things.

A blank canvas.
Light.
Hope.
New beginnings.
Stillness.
Possibility.

Sometimes the simplest colors leave the most room for interpretation.

🤍 What does white remind you of?

We can't wait to read your responses.
We'll see you soon on September 3-6, 2026, in Fort Collins!
