To celebrate its grand re-opening after a six-year closure for extensive remodeling, the National Portrait Gallery presents the first-ever Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition. A jury selected 51 portraits from more than 4,000 entries submitted by artists from all over the United States to be included in the exhibition, all of which can be viewed at the Web site. Also at the site is "Portrait of an Artist", which includes biographical information, photographs, and journals from 10 artists who were finalists in the competition. This section is provided to allow visitors to "experience a variety of approaches to portraiture and artistic practice." For teachers there is a section with downloadable resources for classroom activities based on the portraits.
