Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition 2022

Artists are invited to submit portraits in any media for consideration in the sixth triennial Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition.

Artworks may originate from direct encounters between the artist and the sitter or draw upon existing imagery or archival research in response to history. Artists are encouraged to think about portraiture’s potential to engage with the social and political landscape of our time. All artists entering must be of USA citizenship.
