NewNow 2024

The Opening Reception for The NewNow 2024, Northeast Ohio’s premier annual competitive art exhibition will be held September 12 from 6 pm – 7:30 pm.

Featuring 79 works in a variety of media including film and video this exciting collection will be presented in Tri-C’s beautiful 3,000 sq. ft. Gallery East, located at 4250 Richmond Road, Highland Hills, OH 44122, September 12 – October 17, 2024

Our juror – George Whitten, Executive Director of the Mansfield Art Center – has this to say about the exhibition:

“…it is the originality and unique vision of the work that truly captures my attention. I am drawn to pieces that exhibit a distinct personal touch and avoid mere gimmicks or commercial appeal. Personal reactions inevitably play a role, and for me, it is the blend of originality, skill, and an elusive quality of ‘magic’ that makes a work stand out… I am thoroughly impressed with the overall caliber of the exhibition and grateful for the support provided by Mindy Tousley. I hope you find the exhibition as inspiring and engaging as I did. Enjoy the show!”

Cash awards totaling $1750 will be given out: Four chosen by the juror, and one additional award by popular vote from attendees at the opening reception. Awards will be announced at 7 pm.
