Submissions: The Yellow Show – An Open Call to Women Artists
Yellow Studio invites women artists working across all media to submit work that engages with yellow in unexpected ways.
Yellow defies simple meaning. It signals joy and caution, abundance and decay, clarity and hazard. It’s sacred gold and rubber gloves, daffodils and taxi cabs.
This open call invites artists to investigate yellow in all its complexity: as pigment, symbol, cultural signifier, emotional landscape, and more.
What does yellow mean to you? What does it reveal?
