Blue is the color of depth, distance, and possibility. It can evoke calm, longing, clarity, solitude, trust, mystery, or the vastness of sky and water. The Blue invites artists to explore the emotional, symbolic, and visual power of blue across its many shades—from pale azure and cobalt to ultramarine, indigo, and deep navy.

We welcome painting, drawing, mixed media, digital art, sculpture, and other contemporary practices in which blue plays a central role. The color may dominate the work, appear as a subtle accent, or shape the atmosphere and meaning of the composition.
