Master Reviews & Collective Discussion

Artist Steve Locke leads a group, critical feedback discussion of the work presented by selected sculptors and artists who work across media. Students receiving their degree by June 2017 are eligible to apply.

An Open Call to Artists Residing/working in Ohio – Musical Themed Exhibition
In the Fall of 2017, the Columbus Cultural Arts Center (CAC) will host a large exhibition of contemporary works by Ohio artists, in a challenge set forth by guest curator, local poet and writer, Steve Abbott. Framed by a nod to synesthesia, “THE SIGHT OF MUSIC” will present visual representations of the aural arts, exploring how we interact with music as a central aspect of our humanity.
Artists submitting works for consideration by the juror(s) are asked to consider the myriad ways in which music is or has been created, and/or how the ineffable emotions produced by music can be represented visually as they create works of contemporary significance, meaning, and materials. Work may be 2-D, or 3-D, and in any traditional or non-traditional style or medium (consistent with gallery rules and limitations).
Jurors: Dr. Melanie Corn, President, Columbus College of Art and Design; Christopher Purdy, noted WOSU classical music host and musicologist. Jurors Awards: 1st- $500 2nd- $300 3rd-$200.
