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!

Derrick Davis exhibit to open

Gallery 2001 in Beeghly Library will host "Journey From The Cloth", an exhibit by Derrick Davis, from April 11 through May 17, 2009. Davis, a resident of Dayton, Ohio, focuses on Kente cloth, with its vibrant colors and patterns and links it with an architectural approach that results in a visual and exciting composition. Working with Prismacolor Pencils, the works are typically between 15" -19" high and 35"-43" long.

Davis will give a talk on Wednesday, April 22nd, followed by an Artist's Reception. Plan to attend!
