Radiant in Red: Image City’s 3rd Annual RED Exhibition

Opening night at Image City was filled with color not only on the walls, but in the room itself. One of the most delightful moments of the evening came courtesy of photographer Fred Stoss, who quite literally embodied the exhibition. Dressed in a classic black suit accented by a brilliant red bow tie and unforgettable red shoes, Fred became a living extension of the show itself. He didn’t just exhibit in RED––he wore it. His presence captured the spirit of the evening perfectly: creative, bold, joyful and just a bit daring. It was a reminder that this exhibition is not only about photographs––it’s about community, personality, and shared celebration.

One of the most rewarding aspects of the RED show is seeing the incredible range of artists who participate. Familiar photographers hang beside first-time exhibitors. Wildlife photographers, abstract artists, portrait specialists and landscape storytellers all find common ground in a single color. This shared focus creates something special. RED becomes the thread that connects dozens of individual visions into one cohesive experience. 

Perhaps it’s the time of the year–––February’s chill giving way to hints of spring. Perhaps it’s the emotional intensity the color carries. Or perhaps it’s simply that red demands attention. Whatever the reason, this 3^rd annual RED show confirms what we have come to know: when artists embrace a theme wholeheartedly, magic happens. As visitors move through the gallery, surrounded by glowing walls and vibrant imagery, one thing becomes clear: RED doesn’t just hang on the walls at Image City; it radiates. We invite you to experience it for yourself and visit Image City through March 22.
