Members Gallery – October Exhibit

The Arts Society of Kingston presents Color Inferno, a dynamic juried exhibition celebrating bold color, radiant energy, and visual intensity. Bringing together the work of 27 artists, the exhibition explores color at its most expressive—from blazing sunsets and molten landscapes to vibrant abstractions and emotionally charged palettes. It invites viewers to experience color as a force capable of evoking passion, transformation, joy, chaos, warmth, and renewal.

Artists consider the expressive possibilities of hue, saturation, light, and contrast. Some works burn with fiery reds, oranges, and yellows, while others ignite through unexpected combinations, luminous contrasts, and bold explorations of color.

Featured artists: Mary Lynne Bonforte, Nancy Donskoj, Beth Feinstein, PJ Flanagan, Stacie Flint, Patti Gibbons, Terry Haas, Tom Hackett, David Held, Laura Helfant, David Holt, Locke Johnston, Deirdre Laughton, Jennifer Leighton, Joel Mandelbaum, Lynn Margileth, Connie Noelle, Carol Pepper-Cooper, Tracy Phillips, Pete Preston, Karen Schaffel, Herb Silander, Faye Storms, Judy Stanger, Mark Thibodeau, Andrew Tully, and Aileen Walsh.

The exhibition is juried by Stephen Olivier, ASK Gallery Chair. Olivier is an award-winning artist whose work has been exhibited in galleries, museums, and artist-run spaces across the United States and internationally. He was awarded a 2025 residency at NES in Skagaströnd, Iceland.
