Southern State Community College will host the 11th annual Spring Invitational Area Artist Exhibition and Competition May 4-20 at the Appalachian Gateway Center on SSCC’s South Campus, 12681 U.S. Route 62, near Sardinia.

Local artists were invited to submit entries for this year’s exhibition, which will feature original artwork in the following categories: painting, drawing, mixed media, printmaking, photography, sculpture, stained glass, pottery, jewelry, fine-art craft and woodcraft.

This year’s exhibition will feature three divisions: competitive, student competitive, and non-competitive.

“The Area Artist Exhibition is an ideal opportunity for local artists to have their work noticed by their peers, as well as the public at large,” said James D. Werline, a well-known artist and Southern State art instructor, who is coordinating the annual event through his role as gallery coordinator for the Appalachian Gateway Center.

“This exhibition has shown steady growth in size and quality over the past 11 years and it is becoming my favorite in the series of exhibitions that we host each year,” Werline said. “It is not only an opportunity for local artists to have their work exhibited, but also is an opportunity for the public to discover the rich artistic talent that is unique to the Appalachian region of southern Ohio.”

The public is invited to view the exhibition from 12 noon to 9 p.m. on Mondays, and from noon to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays, at SSCC’s South Campus. As the schedule is subject to change, please call Amanda Lewis at 1-800-628-7722, ext. 3520, to confirm gallery hours.

For entry forms and exhibitor information, please contact Werline at 1-800-628-7722, ext. 3669, or jwerline@sscc.edu. To learn more about Southern State Community College, please visit www.sscc.edu.[[In-content Ad]]
