Forces of Nature

Explore the power, beauty, and intensity of the natural world with Spectrum Art Gallery's Forces of Nature, a show examining nature's strength in all its forms. Climate change has made the forces of nature feel more urgent, visible, and dangerous, but nature has always carried immense power, from destructive storms and turbulent landscapes to the steady, predictable rhythms that shape life on earth.

Artists in the exhibition interpret this theme broadly, capturing subjects such as storms, wind, water, fire, changing seasons, geological movement, and other expressions of nature's beauty, drama, and strength. Together, the works reflect both the awe-inspiring force of the natural world and the enduring patterns that continue to shape our environment, our landscapes, and our lives.

The show's Opening Reception is Friday, May 22 from 6:30-8:30pm. Visitors are invited to meet participating artists, explore the exhibition, and enjoy wine and refreshments while experiencing the gallery's newest collection of artwork and fine crafts. The gallery will also host an Open House, Saturday May 23 with refreshments. Forces of Nature runs through Friday, July 3.

Spectrum Gallery also offers an Artisans Store filled with pottery, glass, home d cor, children's toys, jewelry, and other handcrafted accessories created by regional artists.
