Bold Face

Radian Gallery
San Francisco
Nov 7 - Dec 14, 2024

“Bold Face” is a typographic term that refers to fonts specifically designed to stand out, emphasize a point, or get attention. In everyday life, “putting on a bold face” means to exhibit determination in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges.

This invitational exhibition looks to showcase portrait paintings that capture both of those concepts: Work that stands apart, is impossible to ignore, and exudes human resilience against the forces, seen and unseen, that are trying, inexorably, to wear us down and break us.

Future Tense

The Drawing Room
San Francisco
Oct 12 - Nov 24, 2024

With over 80+ artists featured in this show, we are revisiting a theme that we addressed back in October 2020 at our very first Drawing Room Annex. Now, four years later, we want to ask artists to respond to how they are feeling in this current moment, in a time of yet another contentious and polarizing presidential election. This is against the backdrop of serious global conflict, a rise in authoritarian regimes, devastating climate change and the reversal of established civil rights. As you look ahead to the coming year, what do you envision? Generational change? Hope? Despair? Progress? Peace? Conflict? (Dis)Empowerment? ⁠
