Bay Area Currents is OAGâ??s annual juried exhibition showcasing the depth and variety of inspired artists currently working in the Bay Area art scene. Our juror Aimée Reed selected twelve talented artists after reviewing over 250 submissions and going on over 20 studio visits. This year’s exhibition includes painting, sculpture, video, drawing, print making and mixed media works.
Juror Aimee Reed earned her M.A. in art history at San Francisco State University, focusing on spatial theory and the previously marginalized artist. She has worked with a variety of artists and curators including LeFalle Curatorial, The Chinati Foundation in Marfa, TX, Museum of African Diaspora in San Francisco, Hosfelt Gallery in San Francisco and New York, and with the San Francisco State University Fine Arts Gallery and the International Center for the Arts.
