Studios on High Gallery Prepares for 25th Anniversary
April 2011 will mark the 25th anniversary of Studios on High Gallery. Founded in 1986 by two Cental Ohio artists, the gallery has evolved into a unique juried collective of 18 local artists.
Plans include a celebration and exhibition at the Cultural Arts Center to include all current Studios on High Gallery members as well as select alumni.
Studios on High Gallery holds a unique place in Columbus' Short North. With artists demonstrating daily, the gallery provides an opportunity for education and interaction with painters, ceramic artists and jewelers.
"We're looking forward to a year-long celebration of the arts and community that have given Studios on High Gallery its longevity in the midwest art scene," says Judy Hoberg, Ceramic artist and one of the gallery's founding members.
