Group of 9

We're happy to let you know our third Group of 9 exhibition is now installed. Amazing that this, our third G9 show now totalling 27 local artists continues to grow. Northwest Ohio is so full of wonderful, diverse artists that continue producing fabulous pieces in all media. Our list of artists for future shows is never in doubt. The current show has paintings, prints, glass, ceramics and drawings and runs through the end of July.

Stop in and visit with the artsists.

A few examples:

Mary Ellen Graham, Ocean Splash

Mike Cerveny, The Surge

Walk Score?

I found this rather interesting. "Walkability" impacts our health, finances and the environment. To find your walkability score, go to http://www.walkscore.com/ and type in your address. Surprisingly/happily we scored a 75, what will you score?

Big Top

As perhaps yet another nod towards the wonderful book, "Water for Elephants" by Sara Gruen this current show at the Ohio Art Council's Riffe Gallery has grabbed my attention. The exhibit, Sawdust and Spectacle: Under the Big Top in Small Town America is showing now through April 21, 2010. We've not yet had a chance to see the show but I still wanted to bring it to your attention/calendar. The book left such an impression on me that when I see anything circus related, especially early 20th century, I'm immediately hooked. We're planning to see it in mid March; can't wait. There's something about this imagery that's simultaneously nostalgic and creepy that always draws me in. If you get the chance to see it let us know what you think.

Skot Horn Reception

What a wonderful reception, here's a few photo's. Thanks to all who attended. And, thanks to Skot for all his efforts producing such an amazing body of work. It's great when we have such wonderful support for local talent! If you couldn't make it Saturday, the show is up for the remainder of February, stop in.
