EMERALD: 2021 Juried Art Exhibit

SUBMISSIONS NOW OPEN August 1 - September 1, 2021

Exhibit Opens October 1, 2021!

2021 marks the 20th Anniversary for Art in the Loft, and the Emerald is the traditional stone to mark this year. The color Emerald is green, by nature, and is the most calming of all the colors on the color wheel. It is a bright, vivid shade of green.

Because of its long history and associations with precious gemstones, Emerald green is considered a classic color that can symbolize refinement, wealth and royalty.

Emerald and its shades, symbolize balance and harmony. Green has strong associations with nature and the environment and is seen as the color of luck, freshness, and renewal. It helps balance emotions and promote a sense of calm and clarity.

Artists are to use EMERALD and shades of green in at least 50% of their work of art.
