128th Annual Juried Art Exhibition April 6 - 25, 2021
Woman’s Art Club Cultural Center (The Barn), 6980 Cambridge Avenue, Mariemont, OH 45227
The Woman’s Art Club of Cincinnati is the oldest existing Woman's Art Club operating without interruption in the United States. Distinguished early members include Bessie Wessel, Elizabeth Nourse, and founders Dixie Seldon and Henrietta Wilson.
The goal of this exhibition is to showcase fine art works produced by women from Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky. The focus of the jurying process will be on craftsmanship, color, and composition with an emphasis upon diversity in style and subject. Computer-generated art will not be accepted.
Juror: This exhibition will be selected by Jeanne McLeish. Her award-winning artwork in both watercolor and oil has been included in numerous annual exhibitions and can be found in many private and public collections. She has served as the National Park Service’s artist in residence at the Indiana Dunes National Lake Shore Park, and residency in Shades State Park sponsored by the DNR and the Indiana Arts Commission in celebration of the Bicentennial.
Judge: L. Diana Young. Young will select the award winners. Her award-winning paintings have been shown in numerous galleries and recognized in various shows and plein air competitions including Painters of America, American Impressionist Show and Salon International Show. In addition to painting, Young taught at the Art Academy of Cincinnati and worked in commercial art and illustration.
Eligibility: Women only. Must be at least 18 years of age and reside in Ohio, Indiana, or Kentucky. Note: accepted artwork must be hand delivered.
Awards total more than $3500. Best of Show Award — $1500.
