Stop by the Acock Gallery on Saturday, August 30 from 6- 8 pm and join us for light refreshments at the Closing Reception of this thought-provoking, contemporary experience that explores the interrelationships between art historical precedents and the present. Through etchings, drawings, paintings and carvings, diFranco demands a response of the viewer through the use of symbols and metaphors.

View this exhibition August 28–September 13 during the MadLab theatre production, “The Playdaters."

“Perception is reality, and I am fascinated how people gather fragments of what they decide is true and important-- memory, stories, cultural influences, experiences, ideas and beliefs-- and shape them into personal world views. I take fragments of the external world and weave them with invention and paint to create new morphing realities,” states OAL member Christine Guillot Ryan of her upcoming exhibition.

'Converging Boundaries' will be exhibited in the Cultural Arts Center Main Hall Gallery from September 5 through October 4, 2014. 

Don't miss the Opening Reception of 'Converging Boundaries' from 5:30- 8:30 pm on September 5th. 

Guillot Ryan’s latest mixed media works explore the nature of our boundaries, the relationship between the intangible and the material world. Weaving fragments of representational imagery with paint, Christine creates new worlds that are vivid and richly layered, inviting imagination and provoking conceptual discovery.

Christine exhibits locally and nationally, is a member of the Ohio Art League and CAW (Creative Arts of Women), Art and Artists of 614, mentors students at Fort Hayes, and teaches workshops at the Peggy R. McConnell Arts Center of Worthington and at the Cultural Arts Center.

What if you encountered a familiar symbol in an unexpected, even disturbing, context? That's one of the questions posed by Ohio Art League member artist Tom Baillieul's most recent work at CS Gallery through the end of September. Baillieul's life-long fascination with cultural symbols led [him] to imagine the ubiquitous yellow “smiley” face in a variety of seemingly contradictory situations, and remind us that the world is a much more complex place than we may have thought. 

Impart your own experiences and expressions in order to complete the narrative yourself at CS Gallery from August 29 through September 29, 2014. CS Gallery is located at 66 Parsons Ave., Columbus, OH. 

Meet the artist and experience the Opening Reception for "Put on a Happy Face" Friday, September 12, 2014 from 6- 9 pm.
