For this episode we’re sharing a visit to the Stark Museum of Art in Orange to view the temporary exhibition The Color Orange, featuring works from the Stark’s extensive collection,celebrating the history, uses and effects of the color orange. Exhibitions Manager Ashley Thornton was our guide.

The Color Orange will remain on view at the Stark Museum through October 3rd, 2026.

On Thursday, August 27th from 5 - 7 p.m. the Stark Museum will host "Art After 5" featuring a slide lecture given by curator Sarah Boehme about one of the artists in the exhibition, Elizabeth Blackwell. In 1737, Blackwell published A Curious Herbal, a two-volume work identifying medicinal plants featuring 500 of her own illustrations to raise funds to free her husband from debtor's prison.
