Exhibition Description:

“Nature’s first green is gold.” — Robert Frost

“It’s not easy being green.” — Kermit the Frog

Cade Art Gallery’s 2026 National Juried Art Exhibition, "Green," juried by New York-based art historian and curator Roberto C. Ferrari, Ph.D. Featuring a range of artworks in painting, sculpture, ceramics, textiles, printmaking, photography and video, the exhibition asks us to consider how this hue, its saturation and values appeal to the senses, and how green can address issues as far-ranging as nature and health to politics and religion. Green can also be represented in its most abstract form, and the absence of green can be as important as its presence.

Oak leaves waving from the limbs of a tree, grass underfoot, pine needles glistening with dew. Green is nature, the flora that grows from the earth, nourished by sunlight and fed by rain. Parsley, sage, thyme. Green is an herbaceous taste that tingles the tongue with savor. A combination of blue and yellow, a complement of red. Green is a secondary hue that has permeated the history of painting: Mrs. Arnolfini’s enveloping gown; the forests of Poussin and the waterlilies of Monet; Matisse’s stripe of a shadow and Kelly’s purist field of color; Van Gogh’s anxious landscapes and Salman Toor’s queer acidic spaces. Camouflage: protection or aggression? Verdigris: decay or patination? Phlegm, mold, corrosion. Green is organic and sickly, a sign of the need for a cure. Patriotism, eco-nationalism, spirituality. Green is a symbol in the hearts and minds of the People. Celadon, emerald, moss. Green is style and sophistication.
