Description

RIOT IN COLOR
Juried Group ExhibitionBob's Your Uncle
Exhibition Dates: June 5 - July 31, 2026
Riot of Color invites artists working in all media to submit work that treats color as an active force—expressive, disruptive, excessive, intentional, or unruly.
This exhibition explores color beyond decoration. We are interested in work where color drives meaning, emotion, tension, or experience. Submissions may be bold or restrained, chaotic or precise, playful or confrontational. Harmony is welcome, but so is friction.
Rather than a single aesthetic, Riot of Color embraces contrast: saturation alongside subtlety, control beside excess, joy brushing up against unease. Together, the selected works will form a chromatic environment that rewards close looking and visceral response.
