Each work in the exhibition was judged on its maker's mastery of technique, overall design and concept. Quilts were chosen for their depth of style, content, technique or emotion. The Riffe Gallery showcases the work of Ohio's artists and curators and the collections of the state's museums and galleries. The gallery is in the Vern Riffe Center, State and High Streets, Downtown Columbus. Open every day.
Admission is free.
The Ohio Arts Council's Community Development Initiative is gaining momentum. The CDI was launched last fall as a long-term project in three Ohio communities to demonstrate how the arts are connected to core community values and everyday life. Akron, Hamilton and Portsmouth-Scioto County are working in partnership with the Ohio Arts Council to assess and address local values, issues and concerns through arts and culture. Each community will gather information to use as a starting point for the project, which is expected to run for five to seven years. Local project teams have been hired in each community to facilitate CDI activities.
