Adjunct Faculty and Fine Arts alumna Martina Nikova (CCAD 2007) has a solo exhibition at the Ohio Art League, open until May 26.

Curated by David Horton, Aliens Among Us explores the feelings Nikova had after immigrating to the United States from Bulgaria at the age of 17. She combines images from her childhood and Bulgarian folklore in her paintings and sculptures.

Pallavi Sen (CCAD 2011) has been awarded the Lifchez/Stronach nine-month, paid curatorial internship at The Metropolitan Museum of Art working with the Antonio Ratti Textile Center.

Fine Arts alumna and faculty Danielle Julian Norton (CCAD 1999) will be a part of a group exhibition, Conference of the Birds, in New Jersey starting in early May.

Fine Arts alumna Ashley K. Alexander (CCAD 2009) has published her second novel, The Hanged Man’s Ghost.

The novel follows a detective on a life-changing case involving the ghosts of murder victims. Alexander wrote the novel under the nom de plume Missouri Dalton.

Alumnus Kenneth Hall (CCAD 2004) is opening a solo exhibition at Parkland College Art Gallery in Champaign, Ill.

The exhibition, Fragments, features recent work, including floor paintings that combine historical and popular movie images with abstract forms. The exhibition opens Feb. 14 and will be up through March 27, 2012.

An exhibition that centers on the unique approach to art making through the collaboration and mixing of media will feature 15 artists affiliated with Columbus College of Art & Design.

Alumni, faculty, and staff are all involved in Crossroads, an invitational exhibition at the Schumacher Gallery at Capital University.

Casey Bradley (CCAD 2001), a Fine Arts alumnus and Lab manager at CCAD, developed the exhibition.

“Crossroads is an exhibition devoted to the enduring spirit of the artist as a creative seeker,” Bradley said.
