Rosewood Gallery in Kettering is hosting its twenty-fifth annual Works on Paper exhibition for artists living within a 40-mile radius of Dayton, Ohio. This is a juried exhibition and, yes, there are awards sponsored by United Art and Education!

The juror, Sean Wilkinson, completed his MFA at Rhode Island School of Design- you've heard of it? Wilkinson also taught at Harvard before being hired at the University of Dayton where he revamped the course of study in photography. Although retired from UD, Wilkinson's art prevails in many museums and collections, and his concept for great art will emanate throughout Works on Paper. 

Entries for the exhibition must be original in any media (2- or 3-D) on or made of paper, completed within the last four years and not exceeding 40 inches in width. 

Click here to check out the prospectus.

Because the jurying will be done from actual work, entries must be received at the Rosewood Gallery on Saturday, January 3 between 10 am and 3 pm or on Monday January 5 between 12 and 7 pm. 

Works on Paper will be exhibited at Rosewood Gallery from January 26 through February 27, 2015. The Opening Reception will be held on Sunday Jan. 25, 2015 from 2- 4 pm.

Ginny, herself a mother, brings her unique, modern perspective to these stories through her artistic narratives while pushing past the picture or sculptural plane into another dimension with the use of illusion and perspective, the addition of elements or the manipulation of the surface.

Congratulations, Ginny! Keep up the great work!

Join member artist Andrew McCauley at ROY G BIV Gallery from Nov. 1 through Nov. 29! 

His works incorporate the human figure into a blended, narrative landscape that depicts memory loss. McCauley's works depict various diseases have on humans minds and bodies. 

The artist’s characters are caught in the experience of nervous and circulatory system failure and, ultimately, a total loss of mobility. Each is surrounded by the deconstruction and fractioning of archetypal memories. The playful, intentionally unsophisticated characters act as a balance to lighten the heavy connotation of their decline.

Don't miss the Opening Reception during Gallery Hop in Columbus on Saturday Nov. 1 from 7 -10pm.

The artists will participate in an Artist Talk on Saturday, Nov. 22 at the ROY Gallery at 2:30 pm.
