The Emerald is an exhibition dedicated to green and its many shades. Green is one of the most common colors in the natural world, associated with growth and renewal. It can suggest calm and balance, while in other contexts it may feel mysterious, vibrant, or even surreal. Its versatility has made it a recurring presence in art throughout different periods and styles.

We welcome artwork in any medium where green plays an important role. The theme is open to a wide range of interpretations, from works directly focused on the color itself to pieces where green helps shape the mood, atmosphere, or overall character of the image. Both subtle and bold uses of green are welcome.
