CALL FOR ART! THEME: ORANGE

Prescott Community Center is inviting artists to submit work for our Fall Gallery, themed: ORANGE

This theme is open to your interpretation.  Orange could be a color that predominates in your work of art such as a painting of a woman in an orange dress sitting on an orange couch… or it could be a highlight such as a distant orange spot seen through a fog.
