All About Blue 2026- A Group Show

Our new Elisa Contemporary Art Group exhibit, All About Blue 226, 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. We saw that 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 affects 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. And we're delighted to include works by our new gallery artist, Shelby K. Smith
