Regional Showcase
West Acres Regional Showcase reflects a carefully chosen selection of local and regional artwork and limited-time displays that enhance the West Acres experience for shoppers and visitors. Each of the Mall’s five Courts reflects a permanent, themed component of Regional Showcase. We also launched our Artist in Residence Program in 2017, which features new artists every few months in an interactive pop-up studio of a local artist.

MOMENTS CAPTURED PORTRAITURE EXHIBIT
This exhibit features the unique portraiture styles of nine of our region’s artists, each who are intricately woven into our art community. Portraiture, one of the oldest art forms, captures a moment in an individual’s journey, immortalizing their existence. In contrast to photo ‘selfies’, the portraits are meticulously crafted, often from photos personally captured by the artists in moments of shared presence or during formal sittings. Whether the paintings are made with photo-realistic precision, a touch of glamour, or a stylized drawing, the artwork reveals the individual’s inner essence, distinct personality, and perhaps the cultural and societal context as seen through the eyes of the artist.
You can find this exhibit next to Center Court.
