The Awards for Spectrum 26: The Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art were presented Saturday night, March 30 at the Folly Theater in Kansas City, MO. This year Spectrum teamed up with KC’s largest pop culture show, Planet Comicon, which hosted a “Spectrum Fantastic Art Pavillion” featuring 80 artists in the center of the exhibit floor. The awards gala featured a broad cross-section of presenters, a memorial video, entertainment by “stand-up magician” Derek Hughes, and lively banter by the evening’s Masters of Ceremony Lauren Panepinto and Bob Self. All of the nominees and winners will be featured in Spectrum 26, edited by John Fleskes and scheduled to be published by Flesk Publications in November. Join me in applauding all of this year’s honorees!
