About the program

“Blue — work where blue plays a meaningful role, whether as the subject, the mood, or the spark that ties the piece together”

What does blue feel like in your hands? Quiet and airy, electric and loud, deep as midnight, or soft as morning light? Ten Moir Gallery invites artists and photographers worldwide (18+) to submit work where blue plays a meaningful role, whether it's the subject, the mood, or the spark that ties the piece together. All styles and mediums are welcome.
