It’s already time to submit work to our Spring Juried Exhibition by April 6th! We are excited to work with our juror, Andrew Hendrixson. Special thanks to Otterbein University and the Miller Gallery for having us and making this happen. I look forward to seeing everyone at the opening reception on May 21st. Entry calls for the Gateway for the Arts Gallery at the John Glenn Columbus International Airport, and an exhibition at the Ross Museum coming soon!

We can’t thank the Ohio Arts Council, The Columbus Foundation, GCAC, and the many others who make these opportunities possible enough. As the Ohio Art League continues to grow, it reflects the vibrant community of working visual artists in Central Ohio and beyond.

We are also thankful for our Board of Trustees, who volunteer countless hours of their time to make these opportunities possible, insuring Ohio Art League will continue for generations to come. We invite newer artists to participate, and we invite you to help as a Board Member.

Keep an eye out for our call for 2026-2027 exhibitions at the Gateway to the Arts Gallery at the Columbus Airport, as well as a call for an exhibition at the Ross Museum.

Now let’s get those submissions in!
