Colour!
The Art Happy Colour Exhibition
9–15 August 2027
Early Access: 7–8 August 2027
Turn up the colour.
Colour! is a celebration of artwork where colour takes centre stage.
We’re looking for original work that uses colour to create energy, atmosphere, emotion or simply pure visual joy. Bright, bold and beautiful is welcome, but this exhibition isn't only about rainbow brights — rich jewel tones, unusual combinations, dramatic contrasts and beautifully restrained palettes can be just as powerful.
There is no prescribed subject. Landscapes, florals, animals, people, abstract work, places and completely imagined worlds are all welcome.
Your work might be expressive and energetic, beautifully harmonious, gloriously clashing or somewhere in between.
If colour is an important part of what makes your art yours, we'd love to see it.
