Gateway to the Arts is a collaboration between the Ohio Art League and John Glenn Columbus International Airport. Gateway to the Arts, an exhibition space located on the ticketing level of the airport, features the work of OAL members on a rotating basis. Each exhibition is on display for three months and will be viewed by thousands of visitors daily. Members are encouraged to propose either a solo exhibition or group exhibition with other OAL members.

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 one Ohio Art League member, one Ohio Art League board member and one representative 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 Max & Erma’s. 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.
