Spectrum’s mission is to advance photography as an art form, foster understanding and support for those who create, enjoy, and collect photography and offer an accessible community space for activities and programs to meet the community’s needs. Spectrum also offers supplemental educational programs and workshops. It provides a forum for the discussion of photography-related media as a means of creative expression and cultural insight and serves as a vital contributor to the culture of the region. Through its programs, Spectrum Art Gallery provides resources for working artists and students while further developing public awareness of fine art photography. The Main Gallery Exhibition Space features solo to three-person member shows roughly nine months out of the year. The other three months feature Guest Artists, Annual Auction Exhibition, and the Members’ or New Members’ group shows.
