Overview
Spectrum Unveiled is the inaugural exhibition by Vivid Spectrum Art Group, a collective of four dynamic artists united by a shared commitment to exploring the limitless possibilities of color, form, and emotion. This exhibition serves as both a vibrant introduction of our group to the Texas art scene and an invitation to experience how individual visions can converge into a striking collective narrative.
Set for October 4, 2025, in Austin, Texas, the event pairs contemporary art with an evening of live music, wine, and curated hors d’oeuvres, offering guests an immersive celebration of creativity and connection.
Exhibition Theme: Spectrum Unveiled
This exhibition takes inspiration from the very idea of a spectrum — a range of colors, experiences, and perspectives.
Spectrum Unveiled pulls back the curtain on the unique artistic voices within our group, each revealing their own exploration of color and concept. As the artists expose their private processes and passions, the audience is invited to witness how diverse approaches can coexist, contrast, and ultimately enrich one another.
From bold abstractions to intricate textures, from stories rooted in memory to visions of imagined worlds, this exhibition promises to showcase the full breadth of our creative pursuits — a spectrum unveiled.
Objectives of the Exhibition
- Reveal the distinct artistic identities and processes of each member of Vivid Spectrum, unified under the thematic umbrella of a shared spectrum.
- Engage Austin’s thriving art community with an intimate, multisensory event that combines visual art, music, and culinary experiences.

- Celebrate the launch of Vivid Spectrum Art Group and build momentum for future exhibitions across Texas and beyond.
