Re-Union: David Bamber and Andrew F. Scott will be on view in the Dublin Arts Council (DAC) main gallery, 7125 Riverside Dr., in Dublin, from June 28 through Aug. 12 Reunions imply a coming together for family and friends based on a connection or association. Such is the case for artists David Bamber of Columbus and Andrew F. Scott, a professor of sculpture at the Savannah, Georgia, College of Art and Design. The artists first met as graduate students at The Ohio State University, became studio mates in the sculpture department and began a collaborative association that would span 18 years of sharing the same creative space.

In addition to an exhibit of work by the artists who participated in the 2011 Paint Out, the Dublin Branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library has another new opportunity to view art at the library. Michael Blackwell, Manager of the CML Dublin told me that the Dublin branch of the library and Dublin Arts Council have recently expanded their partnership to include ongoing art displays in the library.

This month the display is of pieces by Japanese Ceramicist Masayuki Miyajima, whose works have become popular in individual and corporate collections in the U.S. and who is an apprentice of Shimaoke Tatsuzo (designated a “Living National Treasure” by the Japanese government).
Cindy Bryden says that they had a beautiful day for the 8th Annual Paint Out this past Saturday. Thirteen people painted for the day and of those 10 entered the painting contest.

The play of shadows and light could have been better organized on the left side of the door but overall a strong piece. 2nd place: Rachel Ramm for her entry of the white house with the red geraniums. Fran comments are: nice light on the house, need to extend a bit of dark green to the left of the house to keep the house…
