    Gallery exhibition, The New Masters: Women Artists of Northeast Ohio, is a great success

    January 25, 2018

    More than 100 women artists from 14 Northeast Ohio municipalities submitted 262 artworks to Ursuline College recently for inclusion in The New Masters: Women Artists of Northeast Ohio, which opened with a reception and awards ceremony on Friday, Feb. 16, in the College’s Florence O’Donnell Wasmer Gallery.

    As students of art history know, the "Old Masters" were European painters regarded as the best artists before about 1800. They were, for the most part, men. Ursuline's Wasmer Gallery turned that concept on its head by inviting women artists of Northeast Ohio – The New Masters – to submit artworks for this juried exhibition.

    A jury of professional artists and arts administrators chose 43 of the submitted works for inclusion in the exhibition, which celebrates the creativity, skill and vision of women artists. Their diverse pieces are works of painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, ceramics, mosaics, fiber, jewelry, and mixed media including installation.

    Jurors are Nikki Woods, director of the Reinberger Gallery at Cleveland Institute of Art; Mary Gray, director of the Ohio Arts Council’s Riffe Gallery; and Alenka Banco, executive director of Cleveland Arts Prize.

    Jurors chose the following award winners, announced at the opening:

They selected 43 works of art from 262 entries. I am excited about sharing this powerful exhibition with the community."
