“Word Play” seeks to influence the viewer through the interplay between text and
visual elements in contemporary art. The text serves as a message, a visual
texture, a conceptual element, or even as the main subject. The works explore
the interaction between words and image, spanning themes such as language,
identity, culture, politics, and beyond.
“Street Poetry” has been selected for inclusion in the De Young Open 2023.
Building on the tremendous success of the inaugural The de Young Open in 2020, the second triennial of this juried community art exhibition will feature submissions by artists from the nine Bay Area counties: Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, and Sonoma. Artworks will be hung “salon style,” installed nearly edge to edge and floor to ceiling, maximizing the number of works displayed. Designed to celebrate and support our local arts communities, this exhibition allows artists to offer their works for sale and retain the proceeds.
