# Event Details - **Event Name**: Gallery Opening: Sounds of Color - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 09 May, 2026 at 03:00 pm – Sat, 09 May, 2026 at 05:00 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: Sounds of Color By artist Aida On view: May 2–30 Opening: Sat, May 9 | 3-5pm Artist Statement: When we muse on the beauty of art, we associate it with the oculus of the soul, the eye, as the periscope to the soul. It is a perceived reality. Color goes beyond what the eye can see. It connects directly to what the soul sees. When the soul sees, it deeply feels the beauty before it. Maybe no two people see or feel color the same way? Color is a fantasy of communication between the eye and the soul. Color works like rhythm and wavelength, it plays with our understanding of lumen and refraction of light. It can be simultaneously harmonious and discordant, like green against red, yellow beside violet. Like a musical composition it may blend without confrontation. It changes desire and emotion. Unlike music, visual color must permeate the soul, maybe in a slower way. We associate color with memory and emotion. I work mindfully with saturated color boldness to reveal another journey of modern color application. Much of my inspiration came about through meditation and spiritual connections to the sounds of wildlife, water and musical rhythms. In 2025, I participated in an artist residency in Beaumont de Pertuis, Luberon, where I created works en plein air. They are studies of light and color en Provence. Artist Bio: Cuban born, Aida immigrated to the US in 1968 at the age of three. She grew up in Elizabeth, NJ, where her family settled. From a young age, Aida loved to draw and began to paint as an undergraduate while attending Rutgers Mason Gross School of the Arts. She flourished in the art school environment and was considered a true “painter’s painter” by her peers, receiving a BFA degree in 1990. Throughout her career, Aida’s work has been exhibited in numerous regional, national and international juried shows throughout the US and the Tri-State area of NY, NJ and PA. She was recently selected for and exhibited at a juried National Works on Paper 2024 exhibition held at Long Beach Island Foundation of Art and Science, as well as the 47th International Water media Exhibition at WASH-H in Houston, Texas, where she received a Merit Award. Aida has given workshops and demos for the Garden State Watercolor Society and Warren County Arts, NJ, and has taught classes and given workshops at AOY Art Center, in Yardley, PA. Aida paints in her home studio in High Bridge, NJ, where she has lived with her husband since 1997, having raised two daughters. www.aidawatercolors.com - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/princeton/gallery-opening-sounds-of-color/200029943397134 - **Event Categories**: art, workshops, exhibitions, nonprofit, meditation, live-music, health-wellness - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 10 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Princeton - **state**: NJ - **country**: United States - **location**: 102 Witherspoon St, Princeton, NJ, United States, New Jersey 08542 - **lat**: 40.35228 - **long**: -74.66118 - **full address**: 102 Witherspoon St, Princeton, NJ, United States, New Jersey 08542 ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Gallery Opening: Sounds of Color - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/67b1ab0f8c43e4afbd78e8ca54c0a5728b5f8313a782e2fe4d0688f2db916c58-rimg-w1200-h1831-dcc4c5bb-gmir?v=1776205653 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Gallery Opening: Sounds of Color being held? - **A:** Gallery Opening: Sounds of Color takes place on Sat, 09 May, 2026 at 03:00 pm to Sat, 09 May, 2026 at 05:00 pm at 102 Witherspoon St, Princeton, NJ, United States, New Jersey 08542. - **Q**: Who is organizing Gallery Opening: Sounds of Color? - **A:** Gallery Opening: Sounds of Color is organized by Arts Council of Princeton. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
