  \n\n	Stamford\, CT - In 1980\, Faber Birren\, world renowned color consul
 tant\, author of 27 books on color\, endowed the Faber Birren Color Award 
 of $1000 for original and creative\n\n	expression of color. The Faber Birr
 en Color Award Show has grown from a regional exhibit to one of national s
 cope\, encouraging artists in all media. This competition is\n\n	the only 
 artistic event devoted exclusively to the use of color. This year the Stam
 ford Art Association celebrates its 32nd year of the Faber Birren National
  Color Award Show.\n\n	 \n\n	This year’s juror is Ian Alteveer\, Assistant
  Curator Department of Modern & Contemporary Art\, Metropolitan Museum of 
 Art\, New York\, NY.\n\n	 \n\n	Established in 1971\, the Stamford Art Asso
 ciation is a nonprofit organization whose members include painters\, sculp
 tors\, printmakers\, and photographers. Our mission as a neighborhood arts
  organization is to provide a forum where emerging and professional artist
 s can exhibit their work to the community and compete in juried shows.<br 
 /><br />\n	The Association's townhouse gallery holds eight consecutive sho
 ws each year\, six of which are juried exhibits\, with prominent jurors fr
 om art schools and galleries and institutions in New York and surrounding 
 areas\, including the Whitney Museum\, Bruce Museum\, and Museum of Modern
  Art. Seven of the exhibits include cash prizes. Unlike other galleries\, 
 all artists\, not just members\, are welcome to submit their work for exhi
 bit. Annual competitions draw submissions from local\, regional\, and nati
 onal artists.<br /><br />\n	Among the competitions is the annual Faber Bir
 ren Color Show\, endowed by the friends and family of world-renowned color
  consultant Faber Birren\, a Stamford resident for 50 years. The show\, wh
 ich has grown from a regional exhibit to one that is now national in scope
 \, awards $3\,000 in prize money each year.<br /><br />\n	Our annual Marin
 e Show is a tribute to Vivian and Stanley Reed\, two of the founders of th
 e Stamford Art Association and avid sailors.  It was originally funded by 
 former Stamford Mayor Julius Wilensky.<br /><br />\n	Each year\, we also s
 howcase the work of students from Fairfield County high schools in a profe
 ssionally juried exhibit that awards scholarships and other prizes to prom
 ising young artists. The show gives these students an opportunity to have 
 their work displayed for the very first time in a public gallery.<br /><br
  />\n	In addition to the exhibits at the Townhouse Gallery\, SAA also is p
 artnering with the Ferguson Library to host the ongoing series of 'Art at 
 the Ferguson' exhibits in the Ferguson Library Auditorium Gallery.<br /><b
 r />\n	We thank the following organizations for their generous and continu
 ed support:  the Kuriansky Foundation\, the Wendell and Margaret Smith Fou
 ndation and ongoing support from many generous individuals. \n\n	Gallery H
