Embark Gallery at the Fort Mason Center for Arts and Culture presents Encounters: Portraits and Identity. This juried exhibition prompted artists to submit artwork that captures an aspect of identity--whether personal, familial, cultural, political or otherwise. In keeping with the guidelines of the Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition, the artists were free to select the subject of the artwork, as long as the work evolved from the artist’s direct contact with that person. Our esteemed jurors, Director Kim Sajet and Director of the Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition and Associate Curator of Painting and Sculpture Dorothy Moss (NPG), invited artists to interpret the concept of portraiture broadly, in keeping with one of the Portrait Gallery’s aims to represent the diversity of contemporary portraiture in America.
