Sawdust and Spectacle: Under the Big Top in Small Town America

Collective Ink
In conjunction with Momentum 2010 Ohio Women’s Summit and Ohio Women's History month, the Riffe Gallery in collaboration with the Massillon Museum will present an adaptation of the exhibition Collective Ink, curated by Massillon Museum Director Christine Shearer in the Riffe Center Lobby March 5 – 30, 2010. The exhibition includes work by 20 female printmakers from four independent Ohio print cooperatives; Phoenix Rising (Columbus); Tiger Lily Press (Cincinnati); Dayton Printmakers Cooperative (Dayton) and Zygote Press (Cleveland). The cooperatives were chosen because of their independent structure and non-affiliation with a local college or university. They were independently developed by artists to fulfill a creative need in their communities and provide an accessible artistic environment. Image credit: Judith Steele, Violet Drift

The I of the TEXT
Curated by Liz Maugans, The I of TEXT the exhibition features the work of 16 Ohio artists who use words as the driving force to create an experience around the myriad associations and meanings of text. The artists focus on the ways that the meaning of text and our interaction with it are transformed by current events, technology, socioeconomic status and race.
