The Blue Square Art Exhibition showcases artworks embracing the theme of 'Blue' – a colour that holds endless possibilities and evokes emotions like no other. Imagine the breathtaking sight of all these blue-themed artworks hanging side by side, creating a mesmerizing mosaic on the gallery walls.
In this exhibition, inclusivity reigns supreme. Whether you wield a paintbrush, a camera, or a digital stylus, whether you're a seasoned artist or a budding enthusiast, all are on display here. All forms of artistic expression are celebrated - painting, photography, digital prints, multimedia, drawings, and more. Age is no barrier, and our competition is a testament to the fact that art knows no age.
