Exhibition showcases Otterbein artists

On March 28, the Otterbein Art Department held their annual Juried Student Art Exhibition and Award Ceremony at the Miller Gallery in the Art and Communication Building. During this event, students were encouraged to enter their best work into the exhibition and have it be judged by an out-of-area juror who does not know any of the students or their work.

This year’s juror was Kim Vito of Wright State University. Of all the exhibitions, she chose a total of 43% out of the 68 pieces entered. When looking at the artwork, she was told to “choose the strongest exhibition.”

Numerous awards were given out for a variety of mediums. Some included Samantha Tribble, who created a relief print entitled “Sake Barrels Ichi.” She received the Marguerite Wetherill Eschbach Art purchase award for her printmaking piece, a $50-$60 award. Three other recipients also received the Eschbach purchase award, including Alyssa Mazey for her piece “Disappear,” Kara Mills for her “Delicacy” etching and Thea Kennedy for her piece entitled “Immensity.”

Another recipient was Hannah Farley who received the Marguerite Wetherill Eschbach Art Merit Award, a $100 award. Farley entered four different drawings to showcase her body of work, which is the most one student had at the exhibit.

Natasha Watzka received a one year membership to the Columbus Society of Communicating Arts for her three-dimensional book art and an Otterbein University Art Department Award. For her digital transfer, “Disappear 2”, Alyssa Mazey was also awarded a one-year membership to the Ohio Art League and an Art Department Award. Another recipient to win the membership and department award was Ashley Anderson for her ink print entitled “Blue Oyster.”

Also in the medium of photography, Lauren Kreischer won a $50 merit award for excellence in photography and the David Stichweh Photography Award for her photograph entitled “Mirrored.”

All of the exhibition entries will be on display until April 4. Then, from April 8 until May 17, the Miller Gallery will be holding weekly art exhibitions by graduating seniors.
