EXHIBITION DATES: JULY 6 – SEPTEMBER 23, 2026

FIRST FRIDAY RECEPTION: AUGUST 7, 2026

Unleash creativity and defy convention in Color Outside the Lines, a vibrant exhibition celebrating fearless expression, unfiltered imagination, and the beauty of stepping beyond boundaries. This energetic and uplifting show features original artworks bursting with color—both literal and symbolic—offering viewers a dynamic journey through emotion, movement, and perspective.

From vivid landscapes to whimsical abstracts, each piece invites audiences to embrace the unexpected and appreciate the power of creativity to inspire change. Artists are encouraged to push past traditional norms, explore bold palettes, and share works that speak to freedom, individuality, and hope.

Proceeds from the exhibition benefit Child Protection Center, a nonprofit organization providing a safe, child-focused setting for children who have experienced abuse or neglect. Through trauma-informed services and advocacy, CPC helps children find safety and healing—one brave story at a time. By purchasing artwork, patrons support both local artists and a mission that brings light into the lives of children and families across our region. 50% of sold artwork sales will go directly to artists, with the remaining 50% benefiting Child Protection Center.
