International Colour Day (21 Mar 2023)
To celebrate International Colour Day you are invited to attend some superb and colourful presentations by artists and academics at The Publishing Lab, Bower Ashton Campus, C Block. You are very welcome to attend in person or follow the link to Zoom online. Please do share the event with friends and colleagues.
International Colour Day (ICD) will take place on the afternoon of 21st March 2023, at the University of the West of England, Bower Ashton Campus Bristol, and in collaboration with the Colour Group (Great Britain). The Colour Group is an interdisciplinary society that draws together people interested in all aspects of colour – its perception, measurement, reproduction and artistic expression. The Colour Group will sponsor the event with refreshments at 2.30.
The International Colour Day was purposefully chosen as the 21st of March and is the day of the equinox, which means the lengths of day and night are almost the same as the sun’s rays are straight on the equator. It might not be sunny on that day, but the afternoon will certainly be colourful!
