Portals are openings to new places, new experiences, and new sensations. We are seeking your interpretation of a “portal” – literally or metaphorically. Share your insights and experiences with the concept of “portal” as you see it. Entries were open internationally for Maryland Federation of Art’s (MFA) online-only exhibition. Following exhibition guidelines, any 2D or 3D work was eligible for entry. Works selected by the juror will be on display in MFA’s online gallery, Curve Gallery, from June 15 – July 31, 2022. Exhibition Chairs: Richard Niewerth, Wil Scott.

My name is Andrew Brandmeyer and I currently reside in Savannah, GA. I’m full-time faculty at The Savannah College of Art and Design, teaching for the Foundations Department and acting as lead coordinator for the Drawing Minor Committee. I received both my BFA and MFA from Fontbonne University in St. Louis, MO. My concentration is oil painting, drawing and illustration. I’m delighted to be given the opportunity to act as a juror for the “Portals” Exhibition this year. I look forward to reviewing the works submitted and would like to thank the Maryland Federation of Art for this exciting opportunity! Visit abrandmeyerarts.com for more information.
