48 artists from across Ohio, including several recipients of Individual Artists Awards from the Ohio Arts Council, will join forces to create a survey of the best of the contemporary art scene in our state today. Each artist transforms a unique “canvas” into a spectacular artwork.

Working in all artistic media from oil, acrylic and watercolor paints to encaustic, fiber, and ceramics, from printmaking, photography, and pen & ink, to sculpture, light works and sculpture, the artists transform ostrich eggs into works of great beauty that refer to traditions in high art—the Imperial Easter eggs crafted by Peter Carl Fabergé—and to folk traditions as well—beeswax-decorated Ukrainian pysanky eggs.

Exhibition organizer, Charles Bluestone, hatched the idea in 2007, motivated to raise funds for The Ohio Art League, which is Ohio’s oldest artist collective.
