Organized by the Columbus Museum of Art, Ohio, and Keny Galleries, this exhibition features more than 40 artworks by James Roy Hopkins, including a survey of his figural work and portraits, with a concentration upon the works he did in the Cumberland Falls area of Kentucky a century ago. The exhibition provides an opportunity to appreciate the refined skills Hopkins displayed as a figure painter as well as a chance to re-examine his depictions of Appalachian subjects and the cultural forces that created a demand for such imagery.

Vanity has been an integral part of the human condition throughout time. However, with the rise of technology and social media, one’s ability to not only focus inward but also to represent oneself has changed. Today, there are two realms of existence: the real and the virtual. This discrepancy between layers of reality has created a new awareness of self-representation, with its cultural impact yet to be fully understood. Featuring four artists from Generation Z, this exhibition directly challenges and considers modern forms of vanity through installation, performance, drawings, and prints. Guest curated by Ryan A. Ramirez.
Artworks by Athena Vincent, Jasmine Owens, Caroline Osborn, Ryan A. Ramirez
Opening Reception: Sunday, August 13th from 1-4 pm

Debbie Loffing: Assembled Misfits features twenty four whimsical characters created from a combination of fired clay and found, assembled materials. Each figurine has a personality of his or her own; Ranger Rick sports a nifty lantern hat, Geoffrey, Keeper of the Blue Bird of Happiness, shares a moment with his friend Birdie, and canine Rudy looks ready to pounce.
Visitors of all ages are invited to create their own assemblage sculptures out of ceramics and found objects in the gallery.
At the age of about seven, Marianne Rabb Britton was first introduced to quilting by her Grandmother, Mabel Tomlinson. That quilt was started by both in 1948 and was completed by Marianne in 1971. Her fabric art is a combination of artistic creativity that embodies her life experiences; parents who lived in Arizona, her trip to China, life in Yellow Springs, and a cabin in the hills near Berea, Kentucky. Her art shows her interest in nature, the Indians of the Southwest, horses, and Chinese culture.
She saw the world with an artists eye and gained inspiration from people and places, turning it into beautifully crafted works of art to share with the rest of us.
Opening Reception
Sunday, Jun 25, 5-7pm, in combination with the opening of the 71st Members’ Jurored Exhibition.
