Pablo Picasso once asked, "Who sees the human face correctly: the photographer, the mirror, or the painter?" Urban Riche Gallery finds itself asking the same question for its online PORTRAIT exhibition. It is said that the human face is the most recognizable container of information. Sometimes that information takes on the quality of wisdom, happiness, grief, or youth and sometimes it becomes our storybook; every wrinkle, scar, or freckle being part of the human experience. Urban Riche Gallery is searching the world for artists who can reveal the emotion and stories hidden in the face. Accepting art of ALL MEDIUMS for a juried online exhibition running from February 1st-29th, the PORTRAIT online exhibition will feature the very best emerging and mid-career artists from around the world. The prizes will be distributed as follows: Best in Show: -$500 cash award, -Q&A interview featured on gallery website, 2-page feature in the Urban Riche Annual magazine to be printed and distributed in December 2016, -Extensive social media and email promotion of artwork and accompanying interview, -Promotion of artwork on the PORTRAIT exhibition page.

Boundaries, Borders, and Thresholds, the 2016 Kreft Juried National Exhibition, will illustrate physical, cultural, conceptual, and psychological borderlands. What are the effects of a physical or conceptual boundary on our perceptions of reality? What does it mean to occupy a borderland between cultures or identities? What are some of our moral borders, those regions into which we must delve in order to live ethically sound lives? How do we approach significant thresholds in our own lives? What forms of non-human entities—from quarks to galaxies—occupy borderlands, why do they exist there and not at some other more stable place? Prints, drawings, paintings, photographs, digital images, sculpture, fiber art and video are eligible. Only original artwork produced within the past five years will be accepted—reproductions are not permitted. Entrants must be 18 years of age or older to apply. AWARDS $1,000 Best of Show $500 2nd Place Award $250 3rd Place Award. Recipients of awards will be determined by the juror and presented at the artists' reception. The juror, Sarah Kohn, is assistant curator at the Flint Institute of Arts. The artist chosen as "Best of Show" will receive a solo exhibition in the Kreft Gallery at Concordia University Ann Arbor in fall of 2016. There is a $25 (non-refundable) entry fee for two submissions.
