Indigenous “It’s one thing to make a picture of what a person looks like, it’s another to make a portrait of who they are.”
-Paul Caponigro
The 2024 Juried Exhibition celebrates art on the theme of portraiture. Artists of any level and creating in all mediums are invited to submit work that reflects this theme. Portraits do more than record the appearance of a person. They can tell a story about that person: their character, their passions, their experiences, their emotions, their strengths, as well as their struggles and their fears. All interpretations of the theme will be considered.
