Free Artist’s Reception: Introductions 2025 (Root Division)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Introductions 2025 is juried by Makeda Best, Deputy Director of Curatorial Affairs at the Oakland Museum of California; Cecilia Chia, Founder and Director of Glass Rice Gallery; and Alison Guh, Assistant Curator at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

The exhibition will be on view at Root Division from August 13 to September 20, 2025. Join us for the Opening Reception on September 13, 2025, from 6–8 PM.

Launched in 2007, Introductions is one of Root Division’s signature exhibitions, showcasing the talents of twelve Bay Area artists without gallery representation. Artists are selected through a rigorous review process based on the conceptual and formal strength of their work. 

The resulting exhibition provides a snapshot of the Bay Area’s creative landscape, featuring a diverse range of media and subject matter, including but not limited to video, sculpture, photography, ceramics, textiles, painting, and installation. A key pillar of Root Division’s gallery program, Introductions provides artists a platform to share their work to the public through an exhibition, public programming, and publication.

The participating artists in Introductions 2025 include Paloma Bondi, April Camlin, Javier Roberto Carlos, England Hidalgo, Megan March, Lorena Molina, Katie Murken, Elaine Nguyen, Meghna Sharma, Siana Smith, Zoe Spikerman, and Amy Yoshitsu.
