ENJOY! First in a series of strictly online exhibitions, this virtual exhibition features member artworks exposed, edited, or symbolic of sheltering in place. These images were made close to home, catching up with image editing, or interacting with recent social and physical environments. https://spectrumphotogallery.org//stay-home-online-exhibi/

Spectrum Art Gallery is excited to announce a Pop-up exhibition of Small Works, a show that features artworks from members that measure no longer than 12 inches in any dimension. This is a popular exhibition format that our members will enjoy, and will bring options to the public of smaller, more affordable artworks.

Our current exhibit is calling you... "...The allure of the island of my ancestors has always included its medieval history and the ruined structures of those times that, today, literally litter the beauteous Irish landscape. They beckon me as an interesting and artistic subject matter. ..."
