Opening Reception February 17th, 5 - 10 PM

Core Art Space presents a nationwide open call exhibit which presents art focused on what "seeing the world through rose-colored glasses" means to the artists. Juried by Dana Cain, a show promoter who owns and operates several large festivals around town, was tasked with considering pieces that might feature a romantic tendency to view things through an optimistic filter… Where the glass isn't simply half full - it's filled with pink lemonade or pink champagne.

Yet on the other hand, perhaps it’s a tendency to falsely paint reality in a rosier hue because otherwise, it's too unpleasant or uncomfortable. Then there is simply the lush color theme of rich reds, marvelous mauves, passionate pinks and rhapsodic roses.
