Exhibition: Picturing Color: Artists Reveal the Spectrum — Closes

November 12–December 8, 2026
Art and Design Gallery

Picturing Color: Artists Reveal the Spectrum, which follows Picturing Light (2024) and Picturing Space (2019), is an exploration of the many manifestations of color. Color speaks to us on an emotional level—it hits us before we even know what we are looking at. The human eye experiences color in varying ways; it can spark physical and emotional responses, stimulating brain activity and altering our mood, while the meaning of color changes from one cultural context to another.

Picturing Color brings together the work of fine artists, photographers, graphic designers, and textile designers who respond to color in diverse ways. The specific focus of the show is on work that makes color its primary subject, not just the means to reveal other content. Some of the projects in this exhibition create environmental color experiences by layering transparent colors and by taking advantage of natural light in the Pomerantz Lobby.
