ROYGBIV

Second Street Gallery is currently accepting submissions for our June/July 2021 exhibition, ROYGBIV. 

In Season 46, Second Street Gallery curator, Kristen Chiacchia, challenged a group of local artists to explore new ideas of tones, texture, composition, and expression using only black, white, and shades of grey. In June of Season 47 SSG will present ROYGBIV, an exhibition that will assign one color on the visible light spectrum to seven participating artists. Each artist will create works of art using only shades of their assigned color, following the rich tradition of monochromatic painting in avant-garde visual art throughout the 20th and 21st centuries.

The first month of the exhibition will be held during Pride Month and will involve programming to connect with and celebrate Charlottesville’s LGBTQIA+ community.
