48 AT ROSEWOOD ARTS CENTER KETTERING HEALTH ART GALLERY 19th Annual HWD JURIED SCULPTURE EXHIBITION SEPTEMBER 29 – NOVEMBER 8 CLOSING RECEPTION: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1 – 3 P.M. HWD (Height, Width, Depth) is an annual, juried exhibition of three- dimensional work, featuring sculptors in any medium from Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Kentucky and West Virginia. The juror for this year’s HWD exhibition, Justin Teilhet, will select the winners of awards totaling $1,600 including the Virginia Hause Kress award for Excellence in Sculptural Art. Three $100 People’s Choice Awards will be presented by the Joan W. McCoy Memorial Art Fund at the conclusion of the exhibition. Emmy Award-winning actor and artist Nancy Cartwright will exhibit her reverse-style paintings on Lucite, created using animation techniques and bright, joyful color. Much of Cartwright’s artwork is animated in nature and inspired by Picasso and Warhol. Her use of vibrant color in creating colorful pop art spans a variety of collections ranging from spotlighting societal issues to her love of animated characters. The African American Visual Artists Guild (AAVAG), of Dayton, Ohio, was born out of the need to express visually the African American experience through a wide range of styles and subject matter using many diverse approaches and materials with a focus on communicating the artist’s own spirituality. The AAVAG will exhibit their 2025 traveling exhibition, What’s New?. playkettering.org/gallery Gallery Coordinator Laura Truitt 937-296-0294 [email protected] Rosewood Arts Center Nancy Cartwright, D’oh a Deer, 2024, reverse painting acrylic on acrylic Nathan Conner, Ketanji Brown Jackson, acrylic painting INVITATIONAL: NANCY CARTWRIGHT INVITATIONAL: AFRICAN AMERICAN VISUAL ARTISTS GUILD AUGUST 4 – SEPTEMBER 13 Sophie Knee, Warbler, 2024, ceramic EDEN QUISPE (NEWTON, KS) DENNY GERWIN (CHARLOTTE, NC) NOVEMBER 24, 2025 – JANUARY 3, 2026 In her work, Eden Quispe creates interior scenes using inherited quilting techniques, embroidery, printing, and collage.
