Okay, maybe not the world, but Upper Arlington's Concourse Gallery, so close enough. On display from January 7- 30, you can check out Ohio Art League member artists Louise Captein, N. Penney Denning, and Christine Guillot Ryan for Concourse Gallery's Collage 2015 Exhibition. 

Along with other artists, these three OAL members explore a wide range of approaches to the medium of collage or collage-mixed media. Creating these two- and three- dimensional works allows the artists to be more flexible and spontaneous before committing to a final composition. 

Join us Sunday January 11, 2015 from 3- 5 p.m. at Concourse Gallery in Upper Arlington for Collage 2015 Opening Reception. 

Stay tuned through the winter, because curator and OAL member-artist Char Norman is going to stretch the traditional view of photography this spring with Beyond Photography at the Concourse Gallery. 

From May 1 through June 26, 2015, Beyond Photography brings together a diverse group of artists who use photography as an element of their work; from photogravure, a photo-mechanical process which results in a high quality intaglio print, encaustic and even iPhone snapshots, Norman incorporates various aspects of the photographical process as progressive categories for the medium.
