As part of the 2025 cycle of exhibition programming, FOUND:RE Contemporary is inviting artists to submit works to be included in the studio exhibition “Green". This exhibition is the fourth in our vibrant series exploring monochromatic works in each color of the rainbow. Each exhibition in this series will explore the beauty and depth of a single color.

For “Green", and its subsequent exhibitions, FOUND:RE Phoenix Hotel will use the studio space to showcase the works that are selected for this series. This diverse survey embraces different styles and mediums of art in both 2D and 3D works. All the works selected for exhibitions are for sale and will be represented on the gallery website for purchase by hotel patrons and art collectors from across the nation.
