Our new Elisa Contemporary Art Group exhibit, All About Blue 2026, opens on January 14, 2026 and will run through April 29 at the Elisa Contemporary Art Riverdale Gallery. It is our third exhibit focused on this inspirational color. Blue had a major cross-cultural moment in 2025: Vogue called cobalt blue the new "it" color, major auction results revived interest in International Klein Blue, and art buyers sought out works in this calming, tranquil hue. The color blue represents the sea, as well as the sky. It is associated with open spaces, a sense of freedom and expansiveness, and inspiration to reach beyond. The color blue has positive effects on the body, mind and spirit. Blue is calming -- engaging the body to produce chemicals that create feelings of peace, ease and tranquility. We'll be exploring the color blue across a range of different mediums including painting, dimensional artworks and works on paper. We’re delighted to include works by our new gallery artist, Shelby K. Smith. The artists on exhibit are: Connecticut Artist, Betty Ball; California Flow artist, Kimber Berry; California Realist Ferdinanda Florence; Texas Pop Artist, Mitch McGee; New York Plexiglass Sculptor, Neva Setlow; Boston Artist, Nancy Simonds; Connecticut Geometric Artist, Shelby K. Smith and Abstractionist, Rose Umerlik.
