| The Ohio Arts Council in partnership with the Columbus Metropolitan Main Library and Friends of the Library present ''My Treasures are Within: 12th Annual Ohio Online Visual Artist Registry Juried Art Exhibition''. The three organizations have collaborated for more than a decade on this exhibition that highlights the work of artists on the Ohio Online Visual Artist Registry (OOVAR). The OOVAR is a database that showcases the work of more than 2,000 artists from Ohio and around the world. | |
Building History: |
The OOVAR Juried Art Exhibition is open to all living Ohio artists, 18 years of age or older. Work must be original and executed within the past five years. OAC, CML and Friends of the Library employees are not eligible to apply. The jury process is anonymous and is based on the work submitted for the Juried Exhibition. |
| The Juried Exhibition will be presented at the Columbus Metropolitan Main Library in the Carnegie Gallery from November 28, 2018 to January 12, 2019. Three Juror's Choice awards of $500 will be presented by the jurors and an award of $500 will be presented as the People's Choice Award. The People's Choice Award is selected by visitors of the exhibition and library patrons. Ballots are available at the Carnegie Gallery. The award funds are provided by the Ohio Arts Council and the Friends of the Library. | |
| Artistic Goals of the Commissioned Piece: |
For the first time this exhibition has a theme. The theme ''My Treasures are Within'' is taken from the Main Library's front inscription which was taken from the letter awarding funding to the library by Andrew Carnegie. We would like artists to use this theme to present work that shares their vision of the treasures within themselves, their community, or their library. Only work appropriate for display in a public building will be considered. Artists may submit up to three separate artworks for consideration (a maximum of three images per artist may be submitted.) Selected work will be exhibited in the Carnegie Gallery of the Columbus Metropolitan Main Library for six weeks. The Library will facilitate a contact list of participating artists as well as a price list. Visitors interested in purchasing work should contact library personnel. Friends of the Library will receive 30% of any sales from the exhibition. Artwork must remain on display for the duration of the exhibition. |
