Each year, the Ohio Art League puts on a non-juried exhibition, in which we display any of our members' submitted works within the confines of a 6" x 6" x 6" boundary. Thumb Box Exhibition allows our organization to proudly portray our members and their talents, despite the miniature canvas. 

There is no fee to submit for current members, so make sure you attempt to log in before filling out the submission form. Don't forget to upload images of your work, so that we can brag about y'all on social media ;) 

Deadline for submission is Saturday, November 29 by NOON (12 pm)

Thumb Box will be exhibiting from December 4, 2014 through January 2, 2015 at RAW Gallery in Downtown Columbus. Don't miss the Opening Reception on December 4 from 7 -10 pm!

PS- Many of the members' works act as perfect  holiday gifts!!

Original art from the students and faculty of the Cultural Arts Center, that are hand selected by the staff, act as perfect, one-of-a-kind gifts for anyone you know (that deserves a present, anyway). 

The Annual Studio Art Sale at the CAC takes place on Friday, November 14 from 5 - 8 pm, and Saturday, November 15 from 10 - 2pm.

The countdown begins! Only 23 days stand between you and the perfect gift! Don't stand in line at stores or settle for mediocre presents; put some thought into those gifts!! 

To find out how to be part of the Art Sale, stop in the Cultural Arts Center and ask the Front Desk for info, or visit the CAC website.

Every year for 50 years the L.A. Municipal Gallery has held its "Open Call" exhibit where any artist can show up with their art and an entry fee (to benefit gallery programs) and the piece is shown. The Los Angeles Center For Digital Art decided to launch an international experiment of the same nature where the artists upload images that are printed and hung by the gallery. The hundreds of works are displayed in a grid like installation where every work submitted is exhibited.

Snap to Grid: The UN-Juried Exhibit takes place from December 11, 2014 - January 3, 2015, with an Opening Reception on Thursday December 11, from 7 - 9 pm in conjunction with the Downtown Art Walk.

The deadline for entries is DECEMBER 1, 2014!

Display your work in this nationally acclaimed, un-juried exhibit featuring digital art and photography. All entries will be printed (8.5"x11" on heavyweight paper) and shown in the LACDA gallery arranged in a grid. Entrants submit .JPEG files of original work. Multiple entries are permitted ($35/ entry). Separate registration fee is required for each image.

All styles of artwork and photography in which digital processes of any kind were integral to the creation of the images are acceptable. Digital video stills and screen shots of web/new media are acceptable. Documentation shots of digital installation and digital sculpture are acceptable.

OAL's own Esther Hall and Stephanie Rond of the Carnegie Gallery in Columbus will discuss the best practices for professional artists in terms of promoting and developing artwork.

This Professional Development Workshop, located at Wild Goose Creative in Columbus, will address the difference between an Artist CV and Resume; how exhibitions are accepted and ways to enter; why being part of an organization such as OAL, Creative Arts of Women, or VSA Ohio are important and beneficial to an artist; and how social media has changed the way we access the arts. This workshop is geared towards artists with and without disabilities, art facilitators, and their staff.

Join us Friday, November 7 at Wild Goose from noon to 2:30 pm and give your artistic career a jump-start!

The workshop is FREE, but registration is required. Shoot an email to get signed up, or call (614) 241-5325.

Curated by Park, Liberation from Bondage is an diverse display of works inspired by the journeys we take to reclaim our basic human freedoms. These freedoms span emotional and cognitive processes, various heritages, and theological and sociological cultural dynamics.
