The Betty Mae Kramer Gallery presents spectrum: Contrasts and Forms, an exhibition curated by Stéphane Calvin Rosenberg featuring 15 artworks from Montgomery County’s Contemporary Works on Paper collection, as part of The County Collects series. Showcasing a range of media, this exhibition highlights the work of local and regional artists.
Through varying degrees of abstraction, the artists invite viewers to explore how color, shape, and gesture can evoke both emotion and imagination. Each work offers a distinct way of seeing and feeling, reminding us that, just as there are countless ways to communicate meaning, there is also a full spectrum through which to interpret the world. spectrum: Contrasts and Forms celebrates the creative possibilities that emerge when artists move beyond literal representation to create work that resonates in deeply personal and unexpected ways.

Featured Artists: Pamela Wedd Brown, Shanthi Chandrasekar, Thomas Downing, Chris French, Eric Garner, Monika Griff, Sidney Guberman, Ellen Hill, Bodil Meneley, Lois Rheingold, Marie Ringwald, Fontaine Rodgers, Michael Enn Sirvet, Helga Thomson, and Janet Tracy.
