Spectrum Art Gallery

Spectrum Art Gallery Thirty years ago exhibitions of photography as an art form appeared very infrequently, especially in the San Joaquin Valley.

Spectrum Art Gallery is one of the oldest Co-Op Photography galleries in the United States, is a non-profit 501(c) organization dedicated to providing a venue for photographic art, education, and community enrichment. 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 photog

raphers 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". Since 1980 the gallery has provided Central California with continuous exhibitions of photographic art at no charge to the public.

New Exhibition and ArtHop Tonight!!

I'm happy to share that my solo exhibition, "Echoes of Nature," will soon be displayed at the Spectrum Art Gallery (https://spectrumphotogallery.org/)
608 E Olive Ave, Fresno, CA.

The "Echoes of Nature" reflects the quiet, lasting impressions that time in nature leaves within me. The photographs explore mood, stillness, and the emotional connection I feel when I slow down and let the landscape speak to me.

Karen Tillison and Tim Fleming Present their photography exhibit at Spectrum Gallery for the Month of April, 2026. This is a presentation of Images that were purposely made during Expeditions to interesting places. We want our photographs to tell a grand story. And we hope that it is the kind of story that will inspire the viewers to go on with their own adventures. We consider our trips to be Photography Expeditions because each trip has the main purpose being to make great photographs. Some Expeditions are very far away some are just around the corner, but each one takes special planning to be in the right place at the right time including: the best light, the season, the cycle of the sunset or moon and stars and also to be fully ready with all equipment that might be needed depending on the type of landscape photography we want to do each day.
Since both of us have spent many years studying photography through workshops and classes, Books a
