CALL FOR ARTISTS:

2025 Juried Irish Show

Dublin Recreation Center
5600 Post Road, Dublin OH 43017

Show Chair: Martha Snee and Carolyn Prince
Judge: Vivian Ripley, an accomplished artist of quite varied subject matter, and inherent in all her works is the beauty of color and how it is affected by light and shade.  She works in pastel, watercolor, acrylic, and colored pencil (sometimes combining media), always striving to achieve beauty in each medium through her emotional use of color and tone.
