The de Young Open continues the museum’s long-standing tradition of engaging the local community and showcasing the talent of Bay Area artists. The theme “On the Edge” derives from both the Bay Area’s geographic location on the Pacific Rim, but also the region’s historical reputation for leading-edge, cutting-edge, or edgy culture and creativity. Local artists submit more than 11,500 individual artworks. In total, 763 artists were selected for The de Young Open with a total of 881 artworks to be on view.
Timothy Anglin Burgard, Distinguished Senior Curator and Ednah Root Curator in Charge of American Art, headed a curatorial jury to select the artworks in the exhibition that includes Claudia Schmuckli, Curator of Contemporary Art and Programming, Karin Breuer, Curator in Charge of the Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts and Jill D'Alessandro, Curator in Charge of Costume and Textile Arts at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, in addition to renowned Bay Area artists Enrique Chagoya, Hung Liu and Mildred Howard.
