THE DE YOUNG OPEN 2023
Sept 30, 2023 – Jan 7, 2024
The de Young Open 2023 runs through January 7, 2024, at the de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park, which stands as the pinnacle of exhibitions hosted by the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco. This grand display showcases 883 carefully selected artworks out of 7,766 submissions. The presentation adopts a “salon-style” layout, arranging pieces nearly edge to edge in multiple rows to offer the broadest representation possible.
Focused exclusively on art crafted within the past three years by Bay Area artists, the exhibition’s thematic groupings highlight the diverse artistic expressions found in the region. Spanning various mediums and styles, it serves as a testament to the rich and varied talent thriving within the Bay Area. Artists exhibiting their work in one of the nation’s premier museums not only gain prestige but also have the opportunity to sell their pieces, keeping 100% of the proceeds. View Web Gallery
Among the featured artists, the exhibition showcases sculptures by ACGA members Scott Jennings (#585) and Mari Emori (#559).
- “It’s a dizzying, bursting-at-the-seams extravaganza of an exhibition, designed through an open call process to take the pulse of what local artists are thinking and making.” — The New York Times
- “Instead of gatekeeping, the de Young has thrown its doors open. Instead of featuring two or three major name national or international artists for ‘blockbuster’ fall exhibitions, the de Young placed its emphasis on local artists–and did they ever respond!” — Forbes
- “It’s a dazzling tsunami of painting, drawing, printmaking, fiber, photography, sculpture, video, and digital art.” — Hyperallergic
The de Young Open 2023 remains a must-see, concluding on January 7, 2024. Admission is free to all on Saturdays, although entry to the exhibition on Saturdays requires a timed ticket. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience this extraordinary showcase of Bay Area creativity.
Call for Nominations for the ACGA Board of Directors
We’d like to hear from you!
Now is the time to nominate yourself or another ACGA member for a seat on the Board of Directors. The ballot will go out in early January, and votes will be tallied by January 20. Results will be announced via email and at the All-Member Meeting on Saturday, January 27. The election is for a two-year term.
Our Board is a vibrant, creative group of ACGA members who enjoy working together to run the organization. We oversee exhibitions, social media and newsletter content, membership, the annual Clay and Glass Festival, finances and budgeting, twice-a-year festival juries, website content, and anything else that strengthens the ACGA community.
Joining the Board is an excellent way to add your voice and opinions as we navigate toward our goals. Monthly meetings are held via Zoom, and because we now meet online instead of in person, we’re looking for nominations from anywhere in the state.
Consider putting your name or the name of another member on the ballot this year.
Sincerely,
Sally Jackson, ACGA Secretary
