Kemp Center for the Arts

It's a PARTY! A Paint Party! (Or, you know, whatever media you prefer.)

6X6 ROYGBIV is a community art auction, featuring donated artwork from artists of all kinds. All artwork must be exactly 6"x6", hang on the wall, and predominantly feature a color from the rainbow spectrum (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet).

Our paint party gives you an opportunity to create artwork to enter into the exhibition. We'll provide some basic supplies and the guidelines for the show. You provide the creativity and donate the artwork.

Cute meets creepy, plus add creativity. Our Plushie-dermy class was equal parts whimsical, weird, and full of curiosity! These students transformed stuffed animals into their one-of-a-kind art pieces.
