JURORS

Janet Delaney
Janet Delaney (b. 1952, Compton, California) is an American photographer based in Berkeley, California, whose work examines the social and urban fabric of American life with both clarity and empathy. She is the recipient of a 2020 Guggenheim Fellowship, in addition to numerous other honors, including three National Endowment for the Arts grants.Delaney’s work has been widely exhibited in both national and international solo and group exhibitions, notably South of Market at the de Young Museum in 2015. Her photographs are held in major public and private collections, including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the Oakland Museum of California; the Harry Ransom Center; the Pilara Foundation; the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco; and the Museum of Modern Art, Rio de Janeiro.

She first gained widespread recognition for her South of Market series, a poignant chronicle of San Francisco’s SoMa neighborhood during the gentrification of the 1980s. Subsequent bodies of work, including Public Matters and Red Eye to New York, continue her exploration of civic life and the rhythms of the street in San Francisco and New York during that same decade. Her most recent publication, Too Many Products Too Much Pressure (Deadbeat Club, 2025) offers an intimate portrait of her father’s life as a salesman in Los Angeles. Earlier monographs include South of Market (MACK, 2013), Public Matters (MACK, 2018), and Red Eye to New York (MACK, 2021).

Delaney received her MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute, where she later taught, in addition to holding teaching positions at the University of California, Berkeley and throughout the Bay Area. She is currently completing SoMa Now, an ongoing project documenting San Francisco’s rapid transformation into a global center of technology and the social consequences of this shift. She is represented by EUQINOM Gallery.
