Juried by Anuradha Vikram

FRESH encourages artists, from LA and beyond, to consider how their work can make an impact in their communities by reflecting on current ideas and trends through contemporary art.

FRESH: not previously known or used; new or different. recent, latest, up-to-date, modern, modernistic, ultramodern, newfangled, original, novel, innovative, unusual, unconventional, unorthodox, radical, revolutionary, informal, offbeat

“Art is at its best when it reflects the shared experiences and concerns that shape our understanding of the historical moment we are living in,” says Anuradha Vikram, independent curator and juror for FRESH 2021. “In a time when our communities are being threatened by racially-motivated violence, we need to foreground voices that speak across differences.” Vikram is inspired by artists who explore future possibilities in their visual art and seek to reach others with a call to collective action.
