Outside Exhibition // “Reflections: Portraits and Self-Portraits from NIAD Art Center”

sonoma state university art gallery 1801 E Cotati Ave, Rohnert Park

The University Art Gallery at Sonoma State University proudly presents Reflections: Portraits and Self-Portraits from NIAD Art Center, an exhibition curated by Executive Director Amanda Eicher, and Board Member Jay Youngdahl. Artists in their own right, Amanda and Jay are regular conversation partners with the studio artists at NIAD, finding an evocative and lasting dialogue with practices of self-representation and the question of representation itself.

Outside Exhibition // “Outside Forces” at Art Enables

Featured artists include individuals who are emerging and self-taught, are from traditionally underrepresented communities, and those with disabilities. All have paved their own way in the formation of their work, representing personal experiences and interests in individual styles developed outside the conventions of mainstream art education and culture.  

This exhibition began in 2006 as a way for DC-area groups working with self-taught artists to exhibit together. Over the last 18 years, the exhibition’s success has seen it grow to feature artists from across the nation alongside our resident artists. With a selection of affordable work in a wide array of styles, the show continues to be an excellent introduction to outsider art for those looking to start their own collection.
