The Jung Center: Visions: 25th Annual Group Exhibition
Local Community Art
Once a year since 2000, The Jung Center showcases a select group of its community. The artists work in a variety of media to explore their inner journeys and find meaning in everyday life.
Dive into a tapestry of local artists, outsider art, brut art, emerging talents, and narratives with “Visions: The 25th Annual Group Exhibition Showcasing The Jung Center Community.” This eagerly anticipated showcase stands as one of the longest-running art shows of its kind in the United States. “Visions” unveils the diverse artistic talents nurtured within our community of students, members, instructors, volunteers, and staff. The exhibition spans painting, drawing, sculpture, and photography, where emerging artistic voices converge with those beyond the mainstream art world to illuminate paths to meaning and self-discovery. From seasoned instructors to emerging artists, this exhibition offers a raw, authentic, and unfiltered glimpse into the inner landscapes of individuals exploring their unique odysseys and fantastical imaginings.
“Visions” extends an invitation to Jung Center supporters, collectors of local art, and emerging art enthusiasts to acquire value-oriented pieces resonating with authenticity and the unmistakable spirit of our community. Furthermore, it supports the gallery spaces’ mission to provide a platform for the emergence of tomorrow’s artistic luminaries.
Rosalinda González, Artist and Ad Hoc Curator of Contemporary Art at the Jung Center said: “The annual showcase at The Jung Center is a curious happening and rare gem, distinguished by its unpretentious evolution and longevity over the years within our niche community. Situated against the backdrop of Houston’s renowned outsider art scene, Visions is a hidden treasure. Within the artworks presented, the artists articulate communal narratives and formalistic dialogues interwoven with the dynamics of corporeal existence, spiritual essence, formal expression, whimsical nuances, and visionary exploration.”
