ROY G BIV 

ROY G BIV is an exhibition by Craven Arts Council & Gallery showcasing the use of color. Each artist will receive a 12”x12” cradled board and draw a random color. Each work will utilize hues, shades, tints and tones of that color as the primary palate for the work. Each panel in the Main Gallery at Bank of the Arts will be filled with works featuring that color, creating a rainbow that moves across the gallery. Colors selected for the exhibition will be red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet (purple), white, and black. Works will be judged  for a chance to win one of seven cash prizes, and artist may sell their work on a 60/40 split in the artist’s favor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I include other colors?
Yes! However, the color you selected from a hat must be the dominant color.

Can I complete my piece on a watercolor paper, or use a photograph printed on paper? 
Yes, so long as the paper is securely attached to the cradled board. We recommend using 3M Super 77 spray adhesive, but there are a variety of glues that would work. Please do not use double sided tape.

What materials can I use? 
Anything you can attach securely to the board. Artists utilizing "temporary" materials are ask to ensure that the piece will not create a mess as it ages in the gallery. 

Does my piece have to hang on the wall?
Yes. We also ask that the piece hang as a square (not a diamond) to allow for a consistent display of works in the exhibition.

Does my piece need to be framed? 
No, but if you choose to frame your piece please ensure that the frame does not exceed the 1" overhang limitation on the edges.
