The Outwin 2025: American Portraiture Today includes 34 portraits by 35 artists. The artworks were chosen from more than 3,300 submissions to an anonymous open call, which was juried by experts in the fields of portraiture and contemporary art. Jurors chose these artworks because they broaden the definition of portraiture and highlight the genre’s vital role in society and contemporary art.

The artists in this exhibition employ a wide range of media, including painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, fiber art, moving images, and hybrid works that defy categorization. Together, the works here declare there is no one way to make a portrait.

A sweeping exhibition at London's Tate Britain spotlights the U.K.'s great women artists that history forgot.

Although many women artists gained recognition in their lifetimes, their names have too often fallen into obscurity as art historians privileged the achievements of their male peers. The exhibition “Now You See Us: Women Artists in Britain 1520–1920” at Tate Britain in London brings together paintings by over 100 artists with a connection to the U.K., debunking the widely held assumption that there were very few significant women artists before the 20th century.
