Concourse Gallery

Northwest Arts Partners

May 15 - June 13
Reception Monday May 19, 6-7:30 p.m.

The City of Upper Arlington Concourse Gallery presents Northwest Arts Partners, a juried exhibition of artists’ work of the Upper Arlington Art League, Dublin Art League, Worthington Art League and the Delaware Artist Guild.

Come experience the greater Columbus community of artists through this unique exhibition, celebrating and showcasing artists creating work in your surrounding community. The show is juried by Sharon Weiss, owner of the Sharon Weiss Gallery in Columbus’ Short North, featuring fine art, antiques and art consulting. The art leagues of Central Ohio are diverse in media, technique and inspiration, yet come together to support one another through their individual community’s programs and opportunities.

The Upper Arlington Art League was founded in 1973 by a small group of artists interested in furthering art appreciation in the community. In 1985, the Dublin Art League formed and has grown steadily to represent artists working in a variety of media, including beginners to professionals. The majority of the artists create artwork in addition to working in other fields. The Dublin Art League offers a “convenient, friendly way for them (artists) to develop their talents, meet with other artists and keep an interest in creating visual arts.

In a similar way, the Worthington Art League is open to amateur and professional artists over the age of 18, as well as art patrons. The purpose of the Worthington Art League is to bring together those interested in art in the community, holding monthly meetings, several juried shows per year and providing other opportunities to exhibit artwork. Often the Worthington Art League has guest speakers on art related topics. The Delaware Artist Guild often showcases artwork created by members at the Arts Castle, the Delaware County Cultural Arts Center.
