Yellow is the color of light, warmth, and possibility. It can suggest joy, optimism, curiosity, caution, or the quiet glow of an everyday moment. The Yellow invites artists to explore yellow in all its shades, from pale lemon and soft butter to vivid cadmium and deep ochre. We welcome painting, drawing, photography, mixed media, digital art, sculpture, and other contemporary practices in which yellow plays a meaningful visual or expressive role. Yellow should be a noticeable and intentional element of the work, but it does not need to cover most of the image. New and existing artworks are welcome.
