A trio of portraits from Rusty Weston’s Of the Mission series were selected by Photo Alliance for an exhibition called “Metaphors of Recent Times | A dialogue of the personal, the political and the cultural.” The call for work invited photographers to reflect on themes of our planet, humanity, and societal values. The exhibition, a collaboration with the SF Arts Commision, will be held at SF City Hall from Jan. 16 – June 13, 2025. The opening reception is on Jan 16th at 6p at City Hall.

Rusty Weston’s environmental-style portraits of people who live or work in the San Francisco Mission District will be exhibited in a solo show called “de la Misión” at the Mission Bowling Club.

The opening reception is 6-8 pm on Nov 14th and the show runs to April 7, 2025.
