Hung Liu, an artist and professor at Mills College in Oakland, California, was a juror in the Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition 2013, a juried exhibition of portraits at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery.  The exhibition includes 48 works created from both traditional media like oil paintings, drawings and photographs as well as more surprising materials such as rice, glitter, thread and video. 

 

The museum received over 3,000 entries in a variety of visual arts media. The competition and exhibition are made possible by the vision and generosity of Virginia Outwin Boochever.
