SPECTRA, August 1–October 17

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.

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. 

Artspace is open Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m.–5 p.m.
