Spectrum Art Gallery
608 E Olive Avenue - 266-0691
The Best of Spectrum Art Gallery. This photography exhibit is an eclectic collection of fine art photography from the photographers of Spectrum Art Gallery. Located in the Tower District of Fresno at 608 E. Olive we feature monthly photography exhibits free to the public. Please visit us on line to keep current of our activities. http://spectrumphotogallery.org/ Phone 559 266 0691. Thirty years ago exhibitions of photography as an art form appeared very infrequently, especially in the San Joaquin Valley. It was at that time a growing number of photographic artists began to congregate in a darkroom rental gallery establishment called Photo-Synthesis. By 1979 this group of local photographers formed a not-for-profit cooperative to create a local forum for the fine art of photography. In 1980 the group rented a space in Fresno's Tower District, and referring to the broad variety of work produced by the charter members called itself "Spectrum Gallery".
