tangerine windows.

The Asheville Area Arts Council, without a doubt, throws Asheville’ most amazing party. Annually, they choose a color and work day and night to produce an event based on this choice.  Call it color theory, at its best.

This year the theme correlates with the 2012 Pantone Color of the year, Tangerine Tango. Brillant? I think so.

The party goes down on September 15th.
