Root Division invites artists working in all genres to submit work for Introductions 2024, the 18th iteration of our annual juried exhibition.
Established in 2007, Introductions is one of Root Division’s signature exhibitions, showcasing the talents of twelve emerging Bay Area artists without gallery representation. Artists are selected through a rigorous review process by a panel of three prominent arts professionals based on the conceptual and formal strength of their work. The resulting exhibition provides a snapshot of the Bay Area’s artistic landscape featuring a diverse range of media and subject matter, including but not limited to video, installation, sculpture, photography, textiles, and painting.
A key pillar of Root Division’s gallery program, Introductions offers artists an opportunity to share their art to the Bay Area community and beyond through an exhibition, reception, and publication.

Second Saturday: September 14, 2024
