Artwork by Petra Fallaux, Stefanie Neuner, MiJoo Jin, Marian Zielinski, and Sue Dennis
Color in Context: Blue (SAQA Global Exhibition)
Blue is a primary color, crucial to the creation of other hues. As a pigment, blue was historically rare and expensive, reserved for those of high status, a symbol of their purity, prosperity, and wealth, but modern chemical dyes now make blue the most commonly used color in fashion, products and packaging.
In our solar system both Neptune and Earth are blue planets. The sky, oceans, and rivers are so ubiquitous that blue has symbolic meaning to most, if not all cultures and creatures. Blue is all around us.
EXHIBITION SCHEDULE European Patchwork Meeting, Alsace, France - September 18-21, 2025
**Additional venues will be scheduled through December 2028
