Orange Crush closing reception

You are cordially invited to the Closing Reception for



ORANGE CRUSH


Please join us on May 9th for the Closing Reception of Orange Crush — our 8th annual color-themed juried photography exhibition. This dynamic showcase explores the expressive range and emotional resonance of the color orange through an impressive selection of contemporary photographic works.

The exhibition features elegant and vibrant interpretations of orange across mixed media, alternative processes, traditional color imagery, and hand-colored photographs. Eclectic and thought-provoking, the collection captures the many facets of orange — its warmth and intensity, its symbolism and ambiguity.

Celebrate the final evening of this striking exhibition with artists, collectors, and fellow photography enthusiasts as we toast another inspiring year of color-driven contemporary photography.
