June 3 Art Walk color theme is WHITE and the whole visible spectrum! White represents open minds, blank canvases that are receptive to any vision, friendly impressions, and pure and thoughtful actions. Embrace magical delight! Because white is actually all the colors of the rainbow, multi-color enchantment is in the air with blowing bubbles, the wearing of fairy wings, and spreading glittery pixie dust is encouraged!
