Kind of Blue Exhibit at ART150
Kind of Blue
Curated by Kim Bricker and Robert Policastro

Kind of Blue is a group exhibition at the ART150 Gallery featuring the artists of 150 Bay Street in Jersey City, NJ. Participating artists have explored what blue means to them through paint, photography, printmaking, sculpture, fiber, and more in this diverse and harmonious show.
