5 Colleges of Ohio 2010 Student Biennial

We are, for the very first time, hosting the 5 Colleges of Ohio Student Biennial here at the Ross Art Museum. Kitty Zurko founded the exhibit at The College of Wooster, and held it there at least 4 times prior to this year. Kitty deserved a break, and Justin volunteered us!

64 works from students enrolled at Denison, Kenyon, Oberlin, OWU and The College of Wooster are featured. There will be an opening reception tonight from 7:00-9:00pm featuring refreshments and live music, and we will present 5 $200 Juror's Awards and 6 Merit Awards.

The exhibit will be up from now until April 1st, although we'll be closed during OWU's Spring Break from March 7th - March 15th.

Stanley Scott - Gallery 2001

There is a brand new exhibit in Beeghly Library/Gallery 2001....Drawings by Stanley Scott.

These are large-scale drawings on paper, and are really stunning. They look lush and velvety, and it's difficult to keep your hands to yourself (but NO TOUCHING!!).






This will be a 2-phase exhibit, with another set of Stanley Scott drawings going up next month. With such large pieces, the library only holds 6 at a time!

Be sure to check these out soon!

Barbara Frentsos Butler exhibit

Now on view in the Mowry Alumni Center gallery, works by Barbara Frentsos Butler, '47. Barbara currently lives in Mansfield, Ohio, and is sharing her work with us. Her pieces are abstractions in acrylic, ink, and mixed media. Both large and small scale, they are glowing on the walls right now! As an added venue, 8 of her largest works are hung in the Gallery 2001 space in Beeghly Library, just across the Jaywalk from Mowry. It's a 2-for-1 exhibit!

The gallery in Mowry Alumni Center is open 8:30am - 5:00pm, and will be closed for the mid-year break from December 24 - January 3rd. Beeghly Library will be open similar hours. The exhibit will remain on view until January 24, 2010.
