Dive into a Spectrum of Creativity at 3 Square Art Gallery, Fort Collins, Colorado! Are you ready to experience a riot of colors? Welcome to COLOR 25, the year's most electrifying, anticipated exhibition where color isn't just seen—it's experienced! Imagine walking into a gallery where every shade, hue, and tint tells a story, where art doesn't just hang on the wall but leaps into your senses.

This June 2025, we’re not just hosting an exhibition; we're celebrating color in all its glory. From splashes of paint, lines of colors, dabs of color, colored fabric, colored lights to digital canvases, COLOR 25 invites you to get creative and immerse yourself in an unparalleled journey of color vibrancy.

Color is the heartbeat of art. It's where the art theory begins, with the color wheel spinning into primary and secondary colors, creating a dance of light and shadow. We pay homage to the legends like Mark Rothko, Joan Miró, and Helen Frankenthaler, whose explorations in Color Field painting revolutionized how we perceive art.

This open figurative life drawing & painting session features a live, nude model posing for quick gestural and long-term poses and is open to the public (nude model session participants must be 18 years or older). The Figure Drawing Open Session is an excellent class to practice and hone your figurative drawing and painting skills. Our large classroom, features 360-degree views of the model and allows for movement between poses or careful study from one angle. The male or female model generally warms up with quick 30-second poses, then extending the pose to 5-minute, 10-minute, 20-minute, and then to a final 40-minute long pose.
