A Rich Region

Opening with a free public reception today from 5:30 to 8 p.m., After the Pedestal: The 8th Exhibition of Small Sculpture from the Region features 30 works by 17 sculptors (and one collaboration). The exhibition showcases an eclectic range of materials; including metals, wood, glass, leather, paper, ceramics and altered ready-mades. This year’s juror is Johnny Coleman, Professor of Art and African American Studies at Oberlin College. He’ll give a Juror Talk in the Euclid Avenue Gallery at 6:15 p.m. and the Main Gallery at 7 p.m. Says Coleman, “In reflecting upon the work selected, an open weave of recurrent themes began to emerge: the exploration of place/dwelling and memory, alongside of interior/intuitive spaces of the mind. I continue to look to, and learn from these artists and their work. I am excited to be immersed within an artistic region as rich as this.” Free. (Usmani)
