Studio B's exhibit ROY G BIV celebrates the seven colors of the spectrum of light. The exhibit was inspired by 17th century scientist Isaac Newton’s explanation of the rainbow, according to gallery director Susan Biebuyck. “Newton explained the rainbow by passing light through a prism and identified the visible spectra as seven distinct colors represented in the acronym ‘Roy G Biv.’

“Our show is a collection of art from 17 artists whose creativity acted as a prism—refracting, bending and expanding their interpretations of each color into an array of styles and techniques. Color inspires; it is the language of the visual arts in its ability to express a wide range of emotions instantly.

Some artists in the current exhibit have been featured on "B Inspired" podcast episodes over the past 4 1/2 years. Find episodes featuring Susan Biebuyck, Albert Ciervo, Ellen Finks, Bob Hakun, Judy Lupas, Jim Meehan, Karen Palcho, and Kristin Woodward. The podcast can be found on your favorite podcast platform.

The exhibit also features the work of Diane Clark, Kimberlee Dawn, Suzanne Fellows, Shannon Fugate, Deborah Hamburger, Deborah Meehan, Jillian Prout, Sarah Smith, and Lauralynn White.
