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.
