About the exhibition:

The Third Coast Biennial is a national juried exhibition of innovative contemporary art, which began in 2007. 

The 2025 Juror is Leandra Urrutia, an object maker and storyteller based in Corpus Christi, Texas. Her studio work illustrates struggles between body and mind from a woman-centered standpoint as one experiences injustice, injury, aging, fate, and fortitude.

She writes the following about the Third Coast Biennial: “As a juror, approaching a call without a defined theme can feel daunting, akin to facing a blank canvas or a lump of clay at the start of a new studio project. However, I was delighted by the range of talent and ideas presented for this Biennial. With so many entries, the main challenge was identifying strong individual works that could coalesce into a harmonious exhibition. As I reviewed the art, certain pieces immediately caught my attention, and I began noticing patterns connecting them in various ways…”

Past Jurors include internationally renowned artists Sharon Kopriva and Trenton Doyle Hancock, San Antonio Museum of Art Curator of Contemporary Art Suzanne Weaver, and independent curator, Rigoberto Luna.
