The Art Concern presents Music in the Garden - a collection of artwork aimed at capturing aspects of movement, sound and the beauty of the natural world around us. Artist Brittany Cosgrove is a Columbus-based artist, muralist, teacher and musician with a passion for creating and exploring 2D and 3D media, such as drawing, painting, ceramics and sewing.

"I am often listening to music while painting, allowing the music to influence the colors, lines and textures I create. I enjoy painting with vibrantly colored acrylics. Multiple thin layers of paint applied with brush, palette knife, and pen create the depth and textures within my work," says Congrove. "The realistic aspect in my art shows the beauty of the subject in full detail, while the abstract elements represent sound and movement."

Stop by to view the Music in the Garden exhibit:

• When | Artist Reception: Friday, Aug. 23, 5-7 p.m.
• Where: City Hall, 4035 Broadway

Combining her love of music and art, she

• enjoys live painting for events, teaching painting classes, and teaching music lessons.
• performs in jazz bands, wind ensembles and pit orchestras for operas and musicals.

The exhibit is open to the public weekdays, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., or by calling Tami Kelly, clerk of Council, 614-277-3065 for an appointment.

The Columbus Cultural Arts Center (Priscilla R. Tyson CCAC)

Runs from July 5 to August 10 in the Main Gallery.  The Opening Reception is on July 12 from 6-8pm. Location: 139 W Main St, Columbus, OH 43215.

My work explores archetypal themes found in stories across cultures and historical periods. Objects laden with symbolic power are presented in a bold photorealistic style while referencing the traditional still life genre. Anything may be used to advance the narrative of a painting, such as a toy, a flower, an antique bronze sculpture, a book end, blown glass vase or tribal mask.

Together, the paintings are evocative.  They tell of a universal human experience by expressing ideas, emotions, themes and narratives that recur across time and cultures. These archetypes persist because they reflect fundamental aspects of human psychology and our relationship with the world.  The work makes the case that, beneath the surface, our stories are interconnected.  

“Jennifer Sowders: ‘Landscapes’" opening Sat. July 6th at the Marcia Evans Gallery for the short north arts district gallery hop! Open 2 to 8pm with wine & appetizers @:

8 E Lincoln St, Columbus, OH 43215

*Showing the months July & August during regular hours - Tues.- Sat. hours: 11am-5pm, most Sundays 12-4pm and by appointment. All works in this collection are acrylic paintings.

I have a solo exhibition opening July 11 and running through September 3, 2024 at the Peggy R. McConnell Center. It is located at 777 Evening Street in Worthington, Ohio. The colorful sculpture and painting in the show is about the signs and symbols left behind by the earliest humans in caves and carved on rocks as they migrated out of Africa and around the earth. Very early languages is a related topic I also explored.  I also made a group of geometric paintings that came out of my own moves and travels. The opening reception will be July 11 from 6-8 pm,  and there will be an artist talk on August 8 from 7-8 pm. I would like to invite you to come see the show, it's my biggest yet, filling 3 corridors and the gallery! I'm happy to meet you there anytime during open hours. There is ample free parking and lots of restaurants in the area up on High Street.
