the lift of blue | A Group Exhibition in Support of Mental Health Awareness

the lift of blue | A Group Exhibition in Support of Mental Health Awareness

In Collaboration with West Central Behavioral Health May 3-July 6, 2024 | Opening reception and event: Friday, May 3, 5-7 pm. Cerulean, Cobalt, Phthalo, Prussian, Ultramarine– artists know these names well: they are blue. Gazing at a blue sea– or any body of water can lower your heart rate, and blood pressure, and increase feelings of relaxation. Oh, there’s a study, you can google it. A babbling brook winding through a pine forest, or diamonds sparkling on crystal lake waters. Sky gazing offers mood-enhancing qualities too– the blue of the sky on a crystal blue-bird day in winter will surely lift your spirits. This exhibition calls for blue, open to however you want to use it. (Exhibition title inspired by Sea Church, a poem by Aimee Nezhukumatathil). Call opens March 4, deadline April 14. Notice by April 19. Delivery, Tuesday, April 30.
