Congratulations to our Summer Open Call Winners!

The stakes were higher than ever. Our Summer Open Call was our biggest one yet, and we are proud to announce Mu Pan is the Grand Prize winner, and will show his work at a solo show at 3rd Ward and in a feature presentation at Art Taipei.

Mu Pan’s vibrant work is a masterpiece of storytelling, refracted through the artist's Taiwanese upbringing, his American schooling, and the world of his fertile imagination. His epic myth-meets-reality paintings captivated our judges with their beauty, detail, humor and intelligence. As Pan says, “To me, there is no true story or fiction...This is going to be the story of myself.” See below for a selection from his winning portfolio. Click here to see the entire portfolio >>>
