In All Fairness, 2012 Edition

It's almost that time of year to go to the Ohio State Fair to see the Fine Arts Exhibition. Amidst the livestock, dairy and butter sculpture displays found on the fairgrounds in July is an amazing display of visual art as well as contemporary video and short films. I make it a point to enter work in the juried exhibition each year.

In the 2012 edition of 2D and 3D work was juried by Jon Cook, Executive Director Peggy R. McConnell Arts Center of Worthington and Ardine Nelson of Columbus.

I will be exhibiting "Pluot", "Honey Crisp" and "Japanese Pear". Bridgette has two paintings in the professional division.

In All Fairness

In all Fairness, what is known as the Ohio State Fair Fine Arts Exhibition is happening once again and Bridgette and I have work in the professional division. I use this venue as a deadline to create new work in the weeks following the end of the spring semester at the University of Dayton. Bridgette has a painting titeled “Particle” which you can see on her blog http://bbogle.blogspot.com/2011/05/ohio-art-league-100th-annual-spring.html. I will have apple and sacred heart on display.
