PURPLE! is the 7th in a series of annual color themed photo exhibits at Gray Loft Gallery. On view in this group show are images capturing the beauty, emotion, and symbolism of the color purple — a hue often associated with royalty, mystery, spirituality, and creativity — which holds a special place in our visual and emotional spectrum as purple carries a myriad of meanings and emotions. We are excited to present this visually stunning photo exhibit dedicated to exploring the various dimensions of purple captured through the medium of photography. The exhibit will feature an impressive collection of elegant and vibrant shades of purple, including mixed media, alternative processes, and color photography.
Please join us for a visually stunning photo exhibit dedicated to celebrating the diverse dimensions of purple.

Presented in conjunction with PhotoCarmel!
