Spectrum Art Gallery Auction 2023 Exhibition

Exhibit: April 6 to April 30, 2023
Art Hop Reception: April 6, 2023 – 5PM to 8PM
LIVE Auction: April 30, 2023 5PM @ Tower Theatre – 815 E. Olive, Fresno CA

Finally, we can once again hold an unforgettable live event! Please join us to celebrate and support 43 years of bringing fine art photography to the Central Valley. During the month of April, Spectrum will be exhibiting a diverse collection of fine art photographs from distinguished and emerging artists. The works will be displayed through April at Spectrum Art Gallery, 608 East Olive Ave. Fresno, CA 93728.

For the main event, we have selected a NEW VENUE! This year, the live auction will be held at the historic, Tower Theater, 815 E Olive Ave, Fresno, CA 93728.
These fantastic works of art will be auctioned off to the highest bidder during this Live Annual Benefit Reception and Auction, held Sunday evening, April 30th. We will provide our guests with music, food, and wine while they mingle with fellow art enthusiasts and collectors in this grand old Theater.

Spectrum Art Gallery is a cooperative organization that exhibits both local and out of area fine art photography. We are proud to give our local artists an opportunity to exhibit their work in a premium gallery setting. We also bring in noted photographers each year to allow our local patrons a chance to see and appreciate nationally recognized artists in our local setting. This event combines a chance to view and appreciate fine art as well as an opportunity to take home artworks that speak to you. Nowhere else in the area will you have the chance to view and purchase works from the roster of both local and nationally known artists represented in this auction. Photography is an excellent investment in both economic and personal terms. Think of the opportunities that have been missed in the past. How many times have you, or someone you were speaking with, said “if only I had bought work by “x” back in (fill in the date) before he/she hit it big”. This is your chance to bid on both up and coming as well as fully established, internationally recognized, artist’s/artists’ work.

Your generous participation benefits Spectrum Art Gallery – one of the oldest cooperatives of its kind dedicated to advancing photography as an art form. Your support allows Spectrum to achieve its mission of supporting those who create, enjoy and collect photography, and offering an accessible community space for activities and programs to meet the community’s needs. Through your generosity, Spectrum is able to offer supplemental educational programs and workshops to our community, and continuously make a significant impact towards furthering the arts in the Central Valley.

This event is the primary annual fundraiser for Spectrum Art Gallery. Please join us for this important event and support photographic art in our community. Our gallery is a 501c(3) registered non-profit organization.
