The Ross Art Museum's commitment to Ohio art and artists runs deep! For more than twenty years we've regularly presented the work of local and regional creatives. Join us as we host the Ohio Art League's 2024 Fall Juried Exhibition. An annual event that begins with an open call to emerging and established artists from across the state, the opportunity drew 460 entries this year. The task of selecting the works for the exhibit fell to Juror Philip Sugden. Narrowed to 108 pieces, his choices reveal the richness and variety of art being produced in our region.
The Ohio Art League is an innovative leader in Ohio for supporting artists during all stages of their careers. OAL connects member artists to patrons of the arts, the community, and exhibition and studio spaces. Through professional development, mentorship and advocacy, OAL works strategically to help Ohio cultivate and retain top art talent while positioning the state as a hub for the arts.
Join us as we continue to champion the artistic spirit, nurture talent, and inspire the next generation of Ohio's visionary artists.
