    Our Board of Trustees member, Andrew Ina, as a part of WOSU filmed this great piece on the new Joseph Hotel at Broad and High where strong OAL supporters, Rebecca Ibel and Sarah Fairchild, had a hand in ensuring Ohio artists were represented thanks to the PIzzuti’s. 

    If you are not familiar with the new Joseph Hotel, it is a boutique, art hotel that is named after Ron Pizzuti's father.  Ron is a real estate developer and an accomplished art collector, who was asked a few years ago to jury an OAL exhibition.  In many ways over the years, he has shown his commitment to not only Ohio artists but the city of Columbus and this is just another example. 

    So check out the video on the Joseph Hotel here 

    And be sure to check out the Pizzuti Collection over on North Park Street

    "Phoenix Rising Printmaking Cooperative is dedicated to the promotion of the art of printmaking by providing a well-equipped studio, educational opportunities and an environment of mutual support and inspiration for artists and students, and the community."

    No more worrying about which book to read this winter, it's time to make your own! Spring is upon us, so clean out the cobwebs and get your creative juices flowing. Check out some of the upcoming workshops offered by Columbus's own Phoenix Rising:

    Found Object Monoprint Workshop

    Instructed by Marilyn McPheron, this class begins with a demo, and then participants may creatively experiment as far as their imaginations may take them before printing their own works. Using stencils, lace, cardboard cutouts, paper doilies, flattened metal odds-and-ends, string, vegetable netting and an array of interesting flat, house-hold items, class-goes will create a series of similar but unique prints using Speedball water-soluble printing ink. Most participants will complete around 6 to 9 prints (two or three series of three prints each). The end result is essentially a mystery, as you will not know exactly what will appear until the paper is pulled from the plate after it is pressed. This workshop is limited to 6 participants, so grab a seat ASAP!

    Found Object Monoprint Workshop is offered this Saturday, March 21 from 9 AM to 4 PM. Fee: $65 (includes all materials)

    Register for Found Object Monoprint Workshop

    Signature Bookbinding

    Also instructed by Marilyn McPheron, Signature Bookbinding serves to teach participants how to sew two "signature" based books and how to attach the covers. The first book will be an open spine sketch book with a total of 48 usable pages. Each signature, a total of 4, within the "text block" will be a different type of drawing paper. This first book, which the finished size is to be about 9 x 12 inches, will be book board covered in paper and decorative tapes. The second book, more like a journal, will have a rounded, soft spine covered with book cloth. Although it will be smaller in size, the second book will contain the same amount of signatures/pages. Document your very own expressions within a sketch book or journal you created yourself! This course is also limited to 6 participants, so act fast!

    Signature Bookbinding will take place on Saturday, April 11 from 9 AM to 2 PM. Fee: $65 (includes all materials).

    Register for Signature Bookbinding


    Happy printing!

    Marjorie Bender and Barbara Vogel: Family and Friends

    April 7 – May 16, 2015

    Opening Reception April 7, 6-8pm 

    Location: Dublin Arts Council 

    Address: 7125 Riverside Drive, Dublin, OH 43016
     

    Marjorie Bender and Barbara Vogel: Family and Friends offers a moving and amusing look at the pivotal relationships of our lives: those with our families and friends. Bender and Vogel have both exhibited extensively in the Columbus area. Bender is best known for her clay sculptures, but also produces and exhibits drawings and paintings. Vogel’s background is in photography. Many of her works continue to connect to photographic images, often in unexpected ways. The artists excel in conveying the many dimensions of our closest relationships and in utilizing humor — sometimes whimsical, sometimes dark — to undercut sentimentality. Family and Friends brings together earlier and more recent works by both artists and will feature a new collaborative project that pays homage to a number of their mutual friends and mentors. 

    A free public reception will be held Tuesday, April 7 from 6 to 8 p.m.

    Gallery hours: Tuesday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Wednesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Saturday 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

    Exhibition and public reception are free of charge.
