Caught Red Handed! -- New Group Exhibition

Tues. Jan 26 - Sat. Feb. 20

Reception: Saturday, Jan. 30, 5-8pm

With a central focus around the color red, this month’s themed show at TAG Gallery, Caught Red Handed!, will highlight many different interpretations of the seductive shade.  Known to represent a variety of emotions, red is the color of passion, igniting feelings of love, lust, revenge, and even rage.  Although the color is warm, red is revitalizing and dangerous, exuding a strong and powerful energy. It excites the emotions and motivates us to take action.  Red signifies a courageous spirit, driving ambition, confidence, and determination.  From celebration to ceremony, blood to wine, the associations are as vast as the color’s spectrum. 

Through this exhibition, Caught Red Handed will explore those feelings, portraying the impact the color has played along our artists’ journeys.  From the feminine to the masculine, the positive to the negative, this group show will dive deep into the psychology behind the color red. 

TAG invites you to share your red-themed art, here in this Spectrum Share linkup.

Saturday Spectrum: Wild Blue Yonder [Guest Post by Anne M Bray]

What the heck is THIS color? That wasn't in MY Crayola box in the sixties!
It kinda looks like the old Steel Blue, if that's any help.

With a name like that, perhaps it will entice you landscape artists to link.

Saturday Spectrum: Inside the Crayola Box [Guest Post by Anne M Bray]

Remember that new Crayola smell? The pristine box of 64 colors with the sharpener in back that always ate your crayons? Good news, my friends. They still smell the same! And now, there is an even bigger box with 96 colors! Maybe they have changed some of the color names and maybe even switched out some of the colors. We will have 96 weeks to find out!
Yes, I hied myself to Rite-Aid today and bought the jumbo assortment, to utilize for choosing the Saturday Spectrum color of the week.
A "very scientific" comparison with another box revealed:

Random color placement!

I'm starting our Crayola colored adventure with:

OLIVE GREEN!

Spectrum Saturday: AMBER [Guest Post by Anne M Bray]

Hi everyone, it's Spectrum Saturday time!

Last week, we contemplated the color honey and there were a few link-ups (thank you Val and Lorraine for adding your OWN links -- I did all the others). I'm highlighting Lorraine's piece because it's SO PERFECT for the theme AND the original is on view at TAG until September 26th.

Lorraine Bubar, Endagered, Papercut, 25.5 x 21.5"

Our color this week is AMBER.
Do you have any amber-colored art hidden away in your archives?
Or did you capture a beautiful amber sunset on your photo-creating device?
If you Instagrammed it, you can link it!

Here's another thing to consider:
Honey, Amber -- is there any difference?

Saturday Spectrum: Honey [Guest Post by Anne M Bray]

I have been writing the TAG Blog for two years now. Today, I'm writing not as TAG, but as myself, in the first of what we hope will be a variety of guest posts from the TAG artists. 

I write way too many blogs (and at way too little frequency). The one that commands most of my attention is my Fashion blog, SpyGirl. I am on my third year of a weekly link-up party. What's a link-up party, you ask? It's a social sharing thing -- the idea is for other people on social media to link up blog posts or imagery from Instagram or Facebook (or even websites!). I thought it would be a fun experiment to do that here. Every week will have a theme, and the theme will be the name of a color.

This week's color is HONEY.

What do you see when you think of the color honey? Snap a photo, put it on social media, link it up!
Do you have a honey-colored piece of art to share? Link it!

ANYONE CAN LINK! Time to treasure hunt for HONEY! GO!
