Live every Sunday
Spectral Sessions: art made live.
A live collaborative art show co-produced with Jumbie Art and the Spectral Art Foundation. Several artists draw at the same time while the audience votes on subjects and styles; the finished pieces come alive under a cycling Portal Frame lamp.

01 / Art made live
Art made live, in the Spectralizer
Pieces drawn during Spectral Sessions, lit by the same cycling Portal Frame lamp as a real frame. They are added on spectralartfoundation.org, so every new piece shows here too.
02 / How a session works
Vote, draw, light it up
Vote
Viewers vote on attributes of the piece, such as its subject and style.
Draw
Jumbie Art and guest artists draw at the same time, live on stream.
Light it up
Each finished piece gets the color hue effect and joins the weekly slideshow.
03 / Where to watch
One show, on every platform at once
The stream goes out on several platforms at the same time. The easiest place is our own stream page, which has the player and a live chat.
The slideshow: art made live on stream, each piece cycling through the spectrum.
04 / What is Spectral Art?
Hidden layers that appear in colored light
Spectral Art is a physical art format: prints and paintings with hidden layers that appear as an LED light slowly cycles through the colors. The format was developed by Jumbie Art and is described in US Patent Application Publication US 2015/0325157 A1.
The Spectral Art Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, brings the format to artists. Its programs, its Portal Frames and the ways to support it are on its own site.
