ABOUT BAY AREA CURRENTS

Bay Area Currents offers a snapshot of the energetic and risk-taking work made in the Bay Area today, selected by a curator who has a clear knowledge of the region, and illustrated by a small number of key artists. Selection for Bay Area Currents is by a two stage review process. Preliminary jurying is online to determine artists for studio visits. The second review occurs during studio visits.
