Happy New Year!

We open tomorrow with our first exhibits of 2015...mixed-media drawings by Larry Cressman, and selections from the Ross Museum's Permanent Collection.

It's been a very busy break for us, between taking down & packing up the last exhibits, and getting the new ones up. Hopefully all will enjoy the artwork, which includes Larry's constructed drawings
....intricate twigs and branches, painted and then pinned into patterns like a pencil drawing. I'm fascinated by the cast shadows on the wall, as well. Covering Ground will only be on display until February 15th, so don't wait, come in soon!


The artwork from the Permanent Collection includes many pieces that are very recent acquisitions, either gifts or purchases (hence the title One Way or the Other)

Some of my favorites:

New Art/New Mexico

26 artists from New Mexico are very well represented in our newest exhibit! We opened yesterday, albeit still putting a few finishing touches on things.

Tomorrow (Thursday, February 13th) one of the artists, Nancy Sutor, will be giving the Keynote Address at 4:10pm in Room 121 in Edgar Hall, which is just across the street. There is also a reception from 4:30-6:30pm in the museum.

Throughout the length of the exhibition, which runs until March 30th, there will be more visiting artists from the show. Unfortunately, we couldn't arrange for every artist to come to Ohio, but their work is magnificent and speaks for itself!

So many disciplines of art-making are represented: Painting, monoprinting, photography, ceramics, jewelry, metal sculpture, collage, drawing. There are 154 works to inspire and awe!

Fine Art Faculty exhibit is Open!

The 2013-2014 Fine Art Faculty exhibit is open and looks great! There will be a reception tomorrow (Thursday, December 5th) from 4-6pm with refreshments, live music, and it's free!

We will close for the holidays from December 20 - January 13th, then we'll open again January 14th until February 2, 2014.

A super show by 8 OWU faculty members, covering a range of media and techniques: ceramics, painting, photography, sculpture, printmaking and felting.

Don't miss it!
