September 25th - October 23rd "Artists with disabilities held their first show in The Uptown Gallery 202, Westerville. ÏThe ADDvantage of ArtÓ Artists reception: Sept 25th, 7pm Show dates: Sept 25th-Oct. 23rd WESTERVILLE You are invited to a collaborative effort between Gallery 202, a nonprofit arts organization located in Westerville, and the ADDvantage Center, a Grandview-based nonprofit that helps people with developmental disabilities achieve their life goals and purpose. These two groups put on a high-quality, professional arts show designed to display the thoughts, feelings, humanity and worldviews of people with developmental disabilities. ¶The ADDvantage of Art¾ will bear the souls of our participants through the mediums of canvas, photos, poetry, ceramics and jewelry. Over a dozen artists are exhibited and received the chance to display their work to the world in a normal, socially-valued setting. For so many people with disabilities today, the only option they get is to live in an artificial bubble most of their existence. They go to a school with other disabled people, get a "job" among the disabled and then retire at a disabled community center. For some of our participants, this was their first time to break out of that model and become true artists at a real gallery. The event is hosted by Gallery 202, Partners In Art, Inc., a non-profit art organization that specializes in community art programs for all ages and encourages the interaction between artists, patrons and businesses. A partial grant was received from the Franklin County Neighborhood Arts Program. ADDvantage Center received a $500 grant.

July 2010. Artist reception on 7/24/10 July 1-31st Landscapes of the Great Smoky Mountains and Nature Photographs by Bernard and Janice Gartner. "As a photographer, my understanding of natures complex interactions can best be conveyed through the use of landscape photograph. Landscape photography can be use to capture not only the interaction of natural subjects but also the mood of the scene. It is through the use of the view camera and traditional photographic materials that I wish to capture the mood of the natural environment." Bernard Gartner Bernard Gartner is a sel- taught photographer who prefers to work with traditional film and printing papers. He camera of choice is a 4x5 view cameras and uses both black and white and color film to help convey his vision of the natural scene. Janice Gartner is also a self-taught photographer who wishes to share her love of nature utilizing digital materials and methods. "My sense of amazement of natures is unending. The subtle beauty of nature can only be appreciated when we take the time to really look at what is around us." Janice Gartner

Beautiful Birds of Ohio: a collection of photographs that provides a sampling of the beauty and diversity of birds seen in Ohio at various times of the year. Presented by Nature Photographer: Mike Maier WESTERVILLE- View of some of the most beautiful birds that Ohio has to offer. Mike Maier, a Westerville photographer and bird lover, has assembled a marvelous selection of artfully rendered avian images taken during his many treks throughout Central Ohio and beyond. This collection of images was on display at Gallery 202 in Uptown Westerville from April 3 through April 24.
About the Artist - Mike Maier is a Central Ohio nature photographer. He especially enjoys capturing the natural artistry of birds. His primary goal is to showcase our resident birds along with the great diversity of species that pass through this area during spring and fall migrations. People are always surprised learn that most of his photos are taken within a 20 mile radius of his Westerville home. He also photographs when he travels as evidenced by his stunning photos of Wood Ducks and Prothonotary Warblers from the Carolinas and Bald Eagles from Michigan and Minnesota. In 2007, he formed Avian Expressions by Mike Maier to use his photography as a means of engaging people to appreciate, protect and preserve nature. MikeÌs work has been displayed in numerous Ohio venues including birding conferences, art festivals and galleries. Mike generously donates his time and photographs to help nature-related organizations in their educational, public relations and fund raising efforts. These organizations include Columbus Audubon, Ohio Ornithological Society, Black Swamp Bird Observatory and the Ohio Wildlife Center. |

Art for MAP - Material Assistance Program These two "art" chairs were created by gallery artists - students from the 'Paint on anything but canvas class' and local artist Renee Kropat. The chairs were auctioned off on September 17th to help raise monies for MAP - for more info...
I had the honor of winning the Clifford Chair! I am associated with a local preschool, and I donated the Clifford Chair to serve as their "Story Chair". I delivered it this afternoon. The Preschool director was extremely grateful... everybody loved it! It will provide a great seat upon which the teachers can sit and read to the kids. Thanks so much! If the opportunity arrises, please be sure to let the kids know that their chair ended up with a great new home! Becky |
