7 on 7 is a photographic blog circle of friends posting 7 photos on the 7th of the month. Grab a cup of coffee or a glass of wine and walk through our circle with us. It will do your heart and soul some good.
This week I took myself to a new exhibition in Houston called Color Factory which is collaborative exhibition of colorful fun. The first Color Factory was in San Francisco a couple years ago, and there is currently a version of it running in New York City.
The exhibit is tightly run and tickets are time stamped. While you can go through at your own pace, the limited and timed tickets definitely make for a better experience as most of the exhibits are interactive. You’re not just experiencing the sight of color, but all the senses are involved. There was music in every exhibit and they gave us treats along the way. Now we’re talking.
There was also a giant ball pit of white balls in a dark room put together with the help of NASA. And a room where you faced a partner and had to describe them using color for their moods and what you thought their favorite color was. And also a room where you got to color on the walls with giant markers. And I know, that was way more than 7, but it could have been 70 because this was such a delightful morning for me.
Please continue around our circle where up next we have Cristy Cross‘s great advice for getting your family portraits done. Good stuff!
OMG!!! I am SO jealous Kris!!! I have been dying to go to this exhibit in NYC but just haven’t been able to squeeze in a trip since it opened! These photos are incredible – I’m adding this post to my travel board on pinterest TODAY! I may show up on your doorstep one day soon and drag you back – this exhibit is screaming my name!!!
How fun! I went to the Color Factory in San Francisco with Suzanne and we had a blast. It was a feast for all of the senses. I love the different installations your Houston exhibit has. And like you, I spent a lot of time playing around with the gigantic Lite Brite….brought back all kinds of memories!
