Gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday 12-4 p.m. The opening reception and awards presentation will be held on Nov. 12 from 6-8 p.m. Online artist talks will be on Tuesday, Nov. 16 from 12-1 p.m. and Thursday, Dec. 2 from 12-1 p.m.

For over 20 years, the CAA has hosted a fall exhibit, open to artists from the New England states, centered around a color, red or blue, depending on the year. Both the success of the exhibit series plus the challenge to participating artists, lies in channeling the varied meanings of a color like blue. It is the color of trust, loyalty, cleanliness and understanding. Blue is more than a color.

Past jurors for the RED & BLUE Biennials include: Joseph Ketner; Amy Sadao (Director, ICA Philadelphia); Howard Yezerski (Miller Yezerski Gallery); Carl Belz (Rose Art Museum); Jane Farver (MIT List Visual Arts Center); Vera Ingrid Grant (The Ethelbert Cooper Gallery of African & African-American Art); Nick Capasso (Fitchburg Art Museum); Sarah Montross (deCordova Sculpture Park & Museum); Dan Byers (Carpenter Center for Visual Arts); and Layla Bermeo (Museum of Fine Arts, Boston).
