Theme: Calling all SF Bay Area artists to submit works that challenge and redefine traditional notions of portraiture. We welcome critical contemporary perspectives on selfhood and representation, including those that respond to our shared sociopolitical climate. Artists of all backgrounds and disciplines are encouraged to use their creative voices to illuminate new ways of connecting personal narratives to the broader collective experience.

Juror: Emilee Enders, Curator of Exhibitions and Programs, Bedford Gallery
