The Artist Co-op 7 Exhibit, “Colorfall,” a group exhibit of 7 artists, was held at the City of Burbank Creative Arts Center Gallery. The group's objective is to continually strive to create and maintain an environment in which each individual can experience and develop their own unique creativity. The exhibition had something to delight, intrigue and touch the hearts and minds of the viewer. “Colorfall” works on canvas and paper expressed a diversity of styles – from realism to the whimsical and abstract.

Artists participating in the “Colorfall” exhibition included Anda Andersons, Eve Axelrad, Dorothy Comins (of blessed memory 1935–2007), Guilda Daniel-Elias, Paula Hatton, Debbi Saunders, and Marilyn Malkov Stein.
