More than 30 Washington area museums, galleries, arts organizations and
businesses are participating in ColorField remix, the largest celebration of
painting ever held in the Washington area. The event honors the 1950s and 1960s
Color Field visual art movement and the Washington Color School, which put
Washington, DC on the art world map. ColorField remix includes exhibitions,
public art projects, artists' talks, lectures, children's programs, and special
events honoring Color Field and Washington Color School painters as well as
contemporary artists influenced by those movements. The project was conceived by
The Kreeger Museum and is being held in partnership with Cultural Tourism DC, the
DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities and the Washington, DC Convention &
Tourism Corporation.
"This is an exciting opportunity to examine and celebrate Washington DC's
artistic history, its international context and the impact of Color Field painting,"
said Judy A. Greenberg, director of The Kreeger Museum. "The number of organizations
participating in this celebration is evidence of how profoundly the Color Field
movement permeated the consciousness of Washington's cultural life in its time, and
how it continues to sustain and inspire artists today."
