Coming of Age: Ohio Arts Council Fellowship Recipients

October 25-January 6, 2002

This exhibition is the second in a series of four Riffe Gallery exhibitions that will celebrate Ohio’s diverse and talented artists as part of the YEAR OF THE ARTIST, July 2001-July 2002.

Coming of Age represents the vast diversity of artistic styles in Ohio and reflects the active and vital arts community in the state. The exhibition, curated by Betty Talbott of Ohio Designer Craftsmen and Kay Koeninger from the Dayton Visual Arts Center, features 12 Ohio artists who have received one or more Ohio Arts Council Individual Artist Fellowships and have been making art for at least 25 years.
