Collecting Color/Color Collections
Think this has nothing to do with your life? What about that box of crayons...the paint samples you can't quite get rid of...or the samples we asked you to put together for last year's meeting about color schemes/color palettes?
We're coordinating this meeting with the Collections and Collecting Working Group who are planning a complementary session. All group members will be invited to both sessions. Stay tuned for details!
