Columbus’s Studios on High Gallery (SOHG) is celebrating its 25^th Anniversary with the help of some of our alumni. Fine Arts alumna Lisa Horkin (CCAD 1985), Illustration alumnus Marty Husted (CCAD 1979), Illustration alumnus Ryan Orewiler (CCAD 2004), and Fine Arts alumna Denise Romecki (CCAD 1976), will all exhibit during Face 2 Face, 25 Years of Art and Community, opening Friday, April 15 from 5:30–9:00 p.m.

Blossom!, The Art of Fruit and Flower, an exhibition featuring the works of CCAD President Dennision W. Griffith and numerous alumni, opens Friday, April 15, from 5–8 p.m. at Hammond Harkins Galleries in Bexley, Ohio. Showing alongside President Griffith are Fine Arts alumnus Mark Bush (CCAD 2009), Advertising & Graphic Design alumnus James Mason (CCAD 1971), and Illustration alumnus Paul Hamilton (CCAD 1988).

“Columbus artist Aminah Robinson went from a single mother on welfare to a talent whose powerful work sells for thousands and is praised around the world. Yet she still lives frugally, works tirelessly and cares only about penetrating spirits.”

Fine Arts alumna Marianne Carroll (CCAD 1997-2000) and her custom cake shop, White Flower Cake Shoppe, are featured on WE-tv’s Amazing Wedding Cakes, airing Sundays at 10 p.m. Marianne co-owns the Beachwood, Ohio cake shop with childhood friend Lauren Bozich.

Artworks by Media Studies alumnus Justin Jason (CCAD 1997) are being presented in Transcendent Divisions, an exhibition at Groveport Town Hall, open through the end of April.

Composed of 17 paintings by Jason, the show features intricate patterns in acrylic and watercolor which are transformed into images often seen in sacred geometry and nature.

On the show’s Facebook page, fellow Media Studies alumnus Eric F. Homan (CCAD 1998) said that the show’s opening made it “time for me to visit Groveport!”

The Painted Farm, an exhibition by Fine Arts alumnus James Young (CCAD 1986), will open at Kussmaul Gallery in Granville, Ohio on April 29 from 6–8 p.m.

“My allegiance to barns began in childhood, and my deep appreciation for them was furthered later, when I worked as a day laborer,” Young writes on his website. “The barns I seek are majestic and have persevered against great odds to live to a venerable age. Concern for my aging muse increases with each year, and I wonder at what point my audience will fail to recognize my offering.”

Times New Viking (TNV) is a Columbus-based trio that fits very close to our little CCAD hearts—all three members are Fine Arts graduates from the Class of 2004. Jared Phillips, Beth Murphy, and Adam Elliot, the members of TNV, were recently featured in Columbus Monthly magazine for their latest music video, No Room to Live.
