Fall 2014 - Art Everywhere!

It's a new academic year, and Fall 2014 is underway! There are 4 excellent exhibitions up and open for all to enjoy.

In the Ross Museum, we have 2 alumni exhibitors: Chris Kahler '91: Chris Kahler: Two Decades and Jim Zivic '83: Tightrope: The Line Between Art and Design.

Jim shares his drawings, plans, photographs, furniture and sculpture in the Kuhlman Gallery, and in the Mayhew and West Galleries, we have Chris' paintings.



In Gallery 2001 on the first floor of Beeghly Library, John Sabraw has created a new series for the 2014 Sagan National Colloquium on the theme of Water. John uses minerals from the run-off of mining to create beautiful pigments.


In Mowry Alumni Center, the work of Ann Seiler O'Brien '69 is on display on both floors. Ann uses egg tempera and acrylic to create her abstracts and landscapes.

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!

From Liverpool to Ohio....

....With Stops In Between is the title of the newest exhibit at the Ross! We re-opened today after a long winter break. So stop in, and greet the new year with new art!

Barry Gunderson is a Kenyon professor, and has created a vast amount of sculptures in several media. We are displaying 5 different series of work, so there is sure to be something that speaks to you!

Barry will be giving an illustrated talk on Thursday, January 17 at 3:15pm in Edgar Hall (across the street from the museum) then we will fete him in the Ross Museum from 4-6:00pm. Both events are free and open to all!
