Thanks to our partners at the John Glenn Columbus International Airport for providing Ohio Art League member artists the opportunity to exhibit their work to such a large international audience.

JURORS

Entries will be juried from digital submissions by a panel of peer jurors made up of two Ohio Art League board members and three representatives of John Glenn Columbus International Airport.

THE EXHIBITION SPACE

The space is located at John Glenn International on the ticketing level in a side hallway near Concourse C. The hallway has nine-foot-tall ceilings with chairs along the walls leaving about 73 inches of vertical height and a total of 113 linear feet to display your work.  There is a professional mounting system in the hallway for hanging the art. The space typically holds around 20 - 35 works depending on size of works. In your proposal please address how you intend to fill the space with the quantity of works needed.

The hallway receives significant foot traffic during the week.  In addition, the Columbus Regional Airport Authority will create an artist display board to accompany your exhibit.  Selected artists will be asked to provide the airport authority with:

• Artist bio
• Artist’s website
• Show statement or information about the artwork to be on display
  
• Signed artist’s page of the contract

Visual artists, 18 years of age or older who live in the state of Ohio and are members of the Ohio Art League, are eligible for entry in the John Glenn Columbus International Gateway to the Arts.
