Summer Open Juried Exhibition

WEST PORTAL GALLERY invites artists residing in the greater San Francisco Bay Area to submit artwork for its Summer Open Juried Exhibition. This exhibition will highlight the depth and diversity of creative practice in our region and celebrate the role of art in community life. Works will be juried by volunteer members of Azgour Art Group (azgourartgroup.com) and professionally presented in salon style in the gallery, accompanied by an opening reception. As a new community-based contemporary art space, West Portal Gallery is dedicated to presenting high-quality, accessible artwork while providing opportunities for artists and local residents to connect through exhibitions, cultural events, and educational programs. Founded in 2025, the gallery is becoming a vibrant gathering place for artists and art enthusiasts alike.
