BEING SEEN - The Art of Self-Representation by 46 Artists

BEING SEEN is an exploration of identity, presence, and self-reflection. Featuring works by 46 artists from our region and community, this exhibition goes beyond traditional portraiture to ask: What does it truly mean to see - and to be seen? A self-portrait is more than a likeness; it is an act of discovery. In BEING SEEN, artists investigate the self through a range of media, from painting and photography to sculpture and mixed media. Some depict their physical image, while others delve into memory, emotion, concern, or imagination to express who they are. Each work becomes both a mirror and a window—sometimes reflecting the artist’s inner world, sometimes offering a glimpse into deeper truths. Together, these portraits invite viewers to consider not just how we see others, but how we come to see ourselves. ​Participating Artists​ Nina Bentley, Tara Blackwell, Miggs Burroughs, Alex Churchill, Lauren Clayton, Tim Cronin, Steve DiGiovanni, Javier Eastman, Jeannine Esposito, Kyle Farmer, Felicia Feldman, Fivefingaz, Joseph Fucigna, Mindy Green, Mari Gyorgyey, Darcy Hicks, Ethan Hoskins, Iyaba Ibo Mandingo, Jahmane, Nancy Jameson, Sarah King, Kimberly Klauss, Sophia Konstantin, Looketha, Lila Malone, Miguel Angel Mendoza, Eliana Mesa, Denise Minnerly, Duvian Montoya, Lily Morgan, Paige Mostowy, Aisha Nailah, Dale Najarian, Melissa Newman, Lorena Rose Sferlazza Panetta, Yolanda Petrocelli, Sain't Phifer, Butch Quick, Lyman Richardson, Viviane Rivas, Annie Roberts, Matthew Shelley, Remy Sosa, Liz Squillace, Jose Torres, Tiara Trent ​​​FREE Opening Reception Thursday, November 6th, 6:00 - 8:00pm FREE Self Portrait Workshop Saturday, November 15, 1:00 - 3:00pm With Sarah King and Lila Malone ​ FREE Artists’ Talk Sunday, November 16, 3:00 - 4:30pm Self Portrait Performance by Iyaba Ibo Mandingo Sunday, December 14, 3:00 - 4:30pm
