Abstraction

April 3–May 22, 2026

Apply by:  March 1

Theme:  This exhibition explores abstraction as a mode of visual thinking. From non-representational form to works that depart from observed reality, abstraction has long served as a site of experimentation, resistance, and reinvention. Artists are invited to submit work that engages abstraction formally, materially, or conceptually—through color, gesture, structure, pattern, process, or reduction. All media are welcome, and interpretations may range from subtle to overt, intuitive to systematic.

Juror:  Kim Eagles-Smith; owner director, Kim Eagles-Smith Gallery

Artwork Requirements (abbreviated):

●      Open to San Francisco Bay Area artists only.
