DEADLINE EXTENDED!!!

Call for Entries for the Members' and Student Exhibitions have been extended to September 11th and we want to see your work!

Exhibition dates: October 12th-17th 

Location: Hopkins Hall Lobby and 146 Project Space, The Ohio State University

Juror: Ardine Nelson

Juror Bio:
Ardine Nelson, Professor Emerita holds BS Art Ed, MA Sculpture/Photography, and MFA Photography. Besides teaching all aspects of Photography (analogue, digital, alternative camera and processes), in the summer of 1995 taught the first Adobe Photoshop course at OSU. 

She has exhibited nationally and internationally, has received Guggenheim Fellowship, Ohio Arts Council and Greater Columbus Arts Council Individual Artist’s Fellowships.

Her work is included in numerous public collections including Columbus Museum of Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Museum of Fine Arts–Houston, Museu de Arte Moderna do Rio de Janeiro, and Technische Sammlungen Dresden.

Juror’s Statement: 
Serving as your juror for the regional 2026 members and student exhibitions is both a pleasure and honor. Being able to view submissions from so many working artists with diverse approaches aesthetically and technically is something I expect will show ideas that both surprise and excite me. I hope to make selections that will do the same for all conference attendees.

This year’s regional SPE conference’s theme is Momentum. Momentum is not only shaped by what precedes it, but also by what it makes possible moving forward. My question will be how does your visual expression situate itself within this continuum.
