Caricature Demo by Scott Hall

Scott Hall, a well-known caricature artist, gave a demo for us on Nov. 21. What fun! He drew and talked all evening, telling stories about how he got started doing caricatures, how he keeps up his skills, and the tools he uses. He's an entertaining speaker and a wonderful artist.

He graciously drew each person in attendance and sent us home with the drawing as a souvenir.

Art on the Green, August 27-28, 2011

The 2011 Art on the Green show is off to a fantastic start! Saturday the 27th was a beautiful day - sunny, clear, and comfortable. The gorgeous weather brought out art appreciators in record numbers. Sunday also promises to be another beautiful day.

More than 140 artists are participating in the show this year. Each has been hand-selected for their quality work, and so that the show remains fresh and varied. Even if you've come to the show in past years, you're sure to see something new this time.

The show is held at the southeast corner of Rts 91 & 303 in Hudson. Admission and parking are free. Sunday's hours are from 11 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Governor's Office Art Exhibition

Dear Ohio Artist:

We are contacting you today to tell you about a wonderful exhibition opportunity. Since 1985 the Ohio Arts Council (OAC) has assisted in placing artwork by Ohio artists and Ohio cultural institutions in the Governor’s Residence and throughout the Governor’s offices. Governor John Kasich and his staff have contacted the OAC with the desire to continue this tradition of displaying Ohio artists’ work in the Governor’s office located in the Vern Riffe Center for Government and the Arts in downtown Columbus.

We are contacting Ohio artists who work in painting, drawing, photography and mixed media for this year’s exhibition. A landscape theme has been selected and the goal of the program is to feature images that represent the various regions of the state. Only two-dimensional work is being considered due to the space limitations within the Governor’s office.

A panel representing the Governor’s office, two museum/gallery directors and a member of the Ohio Arts Council staff will jury the submissions. All works should be available for a one year loan from time of selection. Artists interested in submitting artwork for consideration should complete the attached form and send a disc of images of the available pieces to the address below.

The deadline for submission is April 22, 2011. Please send all information to:

Ken Emerick/Kathy Signorino

Ohio Arts Council

30 E. Broad Street, 33^rd Floor

Columbus, Ohio 43215-3414

We hope that you will be interested in participating in this opportunity to highlight the amazing artists and artwork being created in our state to the Governor, members of the Governor’s office, legislators and citizens. If you should have any questions please contact Ken Emerick at ken.emerick@oac.state.oh.us

Sincerely,

Julie S. Henahan Executive Director
