This summer, we’re kicking off the Healing Power of Art in Isolation exhibition at San Francisco’s Siy Gallery! We are bringing the Juried and People’s Choice Art Exhibition online due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Supporting our local artists is our key mission, along with supporting mental health awareness; and through this pandemic, we plan on doing just that—continuing to cultivate creativity and inspiring our community through the arts.

​    We are looking for art that has been inspired by, or created despite, Covid, quarantine and isolation. Twenty entries will be selected by our Siy Gallery juried team. The public will then vote for the top three on our Facebook and Instagram pages. The public voting will begin on September 4th and end on September 6th. We will announce the top three winners at 6pm PDT on Sunday, September 6th. The winning pieces will be featured on our website September 8th through November 30th, 2020.
