Violaceous

Main Floor Gallery:
Violaceous
Exhibit Dates:  May 1 – June 15, 2024
​
While the color purple is relatively rare in the natural world, the SPA gallery will overflow with various shades, from bold magenta and periwinkle to earthy plums, wines and pomegranates.  During the season when farm lilacs are budding and bursting into bloom, this symbolic color formerly reserved for royalty will have its day at SPA.
