While many contemporary artists use color as a primary element, Spectrum focuses on it as a defining principle, featuring works by those in RAM’s collection, such as Sonja Blomdahl, Sandra Byers, Rose Cabat, Jeffrey Lloyd Dever, Lindly Haunani, Cliff Lee, James Lovera, and Dante Marioni.

Mark Adams (1925-2006) and Frank Lobdell (1921-2013) explored pattern and color.

Frequent visitors to RAM see contemporary jewelry made of a wide variety of media.
