The Museum of Pell City is pleased to present Another Fine Use of the Color Yellow, a vibrant new exhibit featuring works by artist Nettie Bean and her students.

Inspired by the many shades and possibilities of the color yellow, the exhibit grew from both Nettie’s recent daffodil paintings and a playful family phrase sparked years ago by an unusual Chiquita banana sticker reading: “Another Fine Use of the Color Yellow.” What began as a lighthearted saying now serves as the inspiration for this unique and visually striking collection.

Featuring a variety of artistic styles and interpretations, the exhibit celebrates the beauty, warmth, and creativity found within a single color.

🖼 Exhibit Open: June 4–27
🎉 Opening Reception: Friday, June 5 | 4–6 PM
📍 Museum of Pell City
1000 Bruce Etheredge Pkwy
Free Admission

What’s your favorite use of the color yellow?
