All artists, established & emerging are invited to submit work for the 7th annual unjuried open invitation exhibition SPECTRUM. The first 25 artists to submit 1 work of art will be featured in a 4 week group exhibition from June 28 - July 23!
The goal of this exhibition is to showcase the talented artists in our community working in a broad spectrum of styles, media & subject matter; to create an inclusive & level playing field for artists at varying stages of their careers; & to present a diverse & engaging art experience.
This year we're inviting artists to submit work inspired by the theme Unexpected Detours. Each work of art represents a journey - creative, emotional, ideological. Along the way we experience unplanned challenges, adventures & awakenings. Share your interpretation of the journey & all the twists & turns along the way.
