Lake Oswego, Oregon—The Arts Council of Lake Oswego announces SPECTRA, an ambitious group exhibition at Artspace, featuring more than 40 artists whose works were selected from an open-call process. Drawing from the plural of ‘spectrum’, SPECTRA presents works that convey a continuum of color, light, sound, identity, and thought—works that speak to phenomena, both visible and invisible.
This exhibition promises an almost dizzying level of color-saturation, uncontained vibrancy, and sensory immersion.
SPECTRA generously, and rather unpredictably, spans complexities that exist between binaries, and thereby is ripe with inclusion and possibility. SPECTRA offers a kaleidoscopic view of our region’s contemporary art and its power to reflect, refract, and expand our perception of the world we share.
The exhibition will be on view from August 1st– October 17, 2025.
Exhibiting artists include Amy Wike, Anne Greenwood, Anne Mavor, Areem Rose, Arianna Gazca, Arlene Carvey-Kacik, Barb Burwell, Billy Criswell, Carole A. Daley, Cedar Lee, Charmaine Shively, Chase Voorhees, Christopher Baird, Corey Pressman, Cori McCullough, Daria Loi, David Corbett, Dianne Jean Erickson, Eric Gibbons, Eryn Tomlinson, Jenna Philpott, Julia Stoops, Laura Paulini, Lisa Rose Musselwhite, Lynn Everett Read, Lynne M. Taylor, MacRae Wylde, Marne Lucas, Matthew Abadi, Michael Al-Jiboori, Mona Monroe, Ochen Kaylan, Pamela Fedderson, Pearlyn Tan, Rieko Warrens, Robert Sumner, Ruth Meijer, Sara Dykstra, Sara Swink, SORA Shodo, Stephen Cohen, Steve Eichenberger, Susana Santarone Sandmann, Teresa Christiansen and Zemula Barr.
We invite you to celebrate the opening reception with us on Friday, August 1st, 2025, from 5:30pm-7:30pm at Artspace. With live musical performance & handmade instrument demonstration from featured artist, Stephen Cohen of 3 Hand Stephen. Many exhibiting artists will be present and light refreshments will be served!
