Southern Exposure (SoEx) is a not-for-profit arts organization and alternative art space founded in 1974 in the Mission District of San Francisco, California.
SoEx offers visual artists the opportunity to work in formats and contexts that extend and challenge their artistic development and offers exposure to new audiences. With a focus on commissioning new work, SoEx supports artists in the development of large-scale projects, performances, workshops, and through residencies and gatherings to create a forum on contemporary sociopolitical and cultural issues and new modes of production. An artist-run Curatorial Committee made up of a rotating group of 8 artists and 2 staff members selects artists to develop and present new ideas.
Southern Exposure's exhibition program is curated by a committee of artists from the community. Artists that have shown at Southern Exposure include Harrell Fletcher, Lee Walton, Glowlab, Neighborhood Public Radio, Packard Jennings, Amy Balkin, Red 76, Jon Rubin, Ann Chamberlain, David Ireland, Alex Kahn, Amy Franceschini, Michael Swaine, Christian Maychack, Scott Oliver, Whitney Lynn, Stephanie Syjuco, and others.
Each year, SoEx has a juried exhibition with an open call. The show is curated by a respected international curator (past curators of the annual exhibition have included Magali Arriola, Tom Finkelpearl, and Kristan Kennedy. There is no fee for artists to submit their work for review.
