Beyond Blue — A PACT Member Exhibit
Opening reception, Thursday, Jan 16th at 6pM
Plan ahead — Gallery is temporarily closed as we prepare for our next exhibit.
Color is more than a mere pigment—it’s a language of emotion and possibility. In “Beyond Blue,” fourteen accomplished Professional Artists of Central Texas (PACT) interpret the theme by taking their art to a level Beyond Blue, transforming this fundamental palette staple into a gateway of artistic expression. Through still life, landscapes, and representational works in oil, acrylic, mixed media and ceramic, the exhibition invites viewers to journey beyond the traditional boundaries of a single color and into the rich expressions of the artists imagination.
“Beyond Blue” is an open interpretation art exhibit featuring PACT artists and their versions of what it means to go beyond the color blue.

William Stewart is most certainly an abstract expressionistic, gestural landscape painter, but categorizing his work in the canon of art history feels like trapping a hummingbird.
