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.

Participation in BETA developments in photography is by invitation of the editor. During selection of the Critical Mass 2024 Top 50, Jeff Moorfoot, one of the jurors and the publisher of BETA, contacted Allyson and asked if she would be willing to have her portfolio published in his magazine.
