Arts in Work Spaces

One of the long-range goals of the Cultural Arts Commission is to increase the accessibility of the arts for the community. In recent years the Cultural Arts Commission has worked to create an art program that shares art with UA businesses. An art-lending program, Arts in Work Spaces gives artists another opportunity for displaying their work, increasing their visibility of the Cultural Arts Commission and the City of UA, and fosters an appreciation for the arts among businesses and their clients.

The Arts in Work Spaces program connects business and art establishing a creative partnership. For more information about participating in the Arts in Work Spaces program and/or purchasing art contact the Cultural Arts Division.

The Upper Arlington Cultural Arts Division is pleased to announce works of art by Elizabeth Chrisman on view at Arlington Bank through Arts in Work Spaces.

Elizabeth Chrisman is a Columbus native who graduated from St. Mary of the Springs College (Ohio Dominican University) where she studied drawing and painting with Sister Eugene DeCleene O.P. Elizabeth also graduated from The Ohio State University Graduate School with a M.A. in Art Education. Her painting medium is acrylic paint on paper and often combined with enamel paint and hand-colored stamps. Elizabeth reflects in her artist statement that her paintings “reflect how we, as a society, live our lives-constantly on the move, constantly busy, never standing still long enough to reflect on life’s beauty. My work helps me make sense of my day-to-day living in a hectic, uncertain world.” Her work has been exhibited throughout central Ohio as well as Chicago, Wisconsin, California and Hawaii. Her painting "Rosie's Cookies and Cake" is included in the 2008 Ohio State Fair Fine Arts Exhibit.
