"Eyes Open to Color" with Jane Lincoln
2026-10-18 14:00 - 15:30 | Wellesley Free Library, 530 Washington Street, Wellesley, MA, 02482, United States
Join the Wellesley Society of Artists in partnership with the Wellesley Free Library for a talk with artist Jane Lincoln who will present, “Eyes Open to Color”, Sunday, October 18 at 2:00-3:30pm in the Wakelin Room, Wellesley Free Library. Please join us for light refreshments and conversation beginning at 1:30pm.
This talk will analyze the properties of color: how a specific color is influenced by those surrounding it; and how to manipulate color. Although structured with the artist in mind, this is of interest to anyone who uses color or just wishes to see color with more understanding.

This program is made possible by a generous grant from the Wellesley Cultural Council
