We are excited to announce the theme for the 22nd Annual 12x12 Community Art Exhibition– Monochrome in Color. Each year the City Museum hosts a community art exhibition in which artists of all ages are encouraged to create works within the parameters of a square or a cube, measuring 12" x 12" (or 12" x 12" x 12") including the framing. Themes for the exhibition are suggested by museum visitors each year.

This year artists will create on the theme "Monochrome in Color". This theme lends itself to any medium (sculpture, photography, paint, collage, colored pencil, etc.) and any color. However, only one color may be used to create each piece. Every color comes in a variety of shades, tones, tints and values. For example, many different yellow colors can be used to create a yellow monochrome piece of art. It is okay to incorporate small amounts of different colors if the final piece still appears to be one color.
