The Ohio Arts Council’s (OAC) Riffe Gallery presents After Hours: Artwork by State of Ohio Employees 2021. After Hours is inspired by an exhibition the OAC Riffe Gallery produced in 1990, only a year after the gallery opened its doors. The exhibition displayed artwork utilizing various media made by Vern Riffe Center for Government and the Arts employees. In this third iteration, the exhibition showcases the creativity of government employees across the Buckeye State. The exhibition’s esteemed juror is Ken Emerick, the OAC’s former director of Artist Programs/Percent for Art Program. After Hours features the work of 44 artists from across the state.
The Ohio House of Representatives High School Student Art Exhibit, also known as “The 99 Show” is a collaboration with the Ohio House of Representatives, the Ohio Arts Council and the Ohio Art Education Association to mount a student exhibition representing all 99 House Districts in the State of Ohio. The exhibition recognizes the talents, creativity and innovation of students who receive high quality arts education instruction as part of their academic experience in school. It represents art by some of Ohio’s finest high school artists.
The biennial show is displayed in the Statehouse walkway that connects the Riffe Center to the Statehouse in Columbus. This is the same passage legislators take to and from their offices every day. It is a fantastic opportunity to showcase the great work of our art students to their representatives in state government.
