As C.S. Lewis said, “There are far better things ahead than any we leave behind.”  As we enter a new decade, SPECTRUM: 2020 Visions features work that conveys the artists’ direction, aspirations and visions for the next decade and beyond.  Spectrum is the Carriage Barn Arts Center’s 30th annual juried exhibition of original, contemporary artwork in all media.  

Due to gallery closure, this will be a VIRTUAL exhibit.

A message from Danielle Ogden and Kristin Peterson Edwards:

In choosing the body of work for SPECTRUM 2020, we felt that it was important to embody the notion of gazing ahead into a new decade.  This included a positive or hopeful vision of the future, looking to the past for inspiration to change, innovation in technique or medium, and works that spoke to us in their beauty or imagery. 
 
From a curatorial perspective, we wanted to have a cohesive selection of art representing a variety of mediums: paintings, works on paper, mixed media pieces, photographs and sculpture.  Thank you to all of the artists who submitted artwork and congrats to those whose pieces will be included in SPECTRUM!
