I see RED I see RED I see RED

In a call for artists to submit work, the Gallery8680 will be hosting a curated art exhibition titled “RED 2017” debuting on Friday, February 10. With red being the “color of Frisco,” this show will surely deliver artists’ original and amazing interpretations of RED and is open for all mediums.

Gallery8680 is on a mission to create a space for emerging artists of a visionary nature in Frisco. Whether self-taught or raised within the disciplines of art, the gallery believes that the essence of true artistic expression comes from an earnest desire to say something.
