New Horizons: Rewards of Time and Place

November 8, 2007 – January 6, 2008

Curated by Sara Johnson

New Horizons features work by 11 Ohio artists who participated in the Ohio Arts Council’s Domestic Residencies program within the last 10 years. The artists studied and worked in at least one of three locations — the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, MA, the Headlands Center for the Arts in Sausalito, CA and the Arts Center / South Florida, in Miami. The result is artwork that reflects the tangible rewards artists gain from experiencing a new horizon.

New Horizons includes work by the following Ohio artists: Mary Jo Bole (Columbus), Paul Emory (Zanesville), Gerry Fogarty (Yellow Springs), Julie Friedman (Medina), Linda Gall (Zanesville), Laura Lisbon (Columbus), Tony Luensman (Cincinnati), Laura Sanders (Columbus), Thom Shaw (Cincinnati), Todd Slaughter (Columbus) and Douglas Unger (Peninsula).

The Riffe Gallery is supported by Ohio Building Authority. Media sponsors for this exhibition include Alive, CityScene, Ohio Magazine and Time Warner.
