Requirements to be considered for the exhibition include being an Ohio resident or student, and the work (there can be up to four submitted) must have been completed within the last four years and suitable for immediate hanging or display.

This is a juried art show, and this year’s judge is Michael Martell of the Zeber-Martell Gallery and Clay Studio in Akron “Michael Martell’s pottery has evolved over two decades from traditional salt-glazed and wood-fired stoneware to expressive graceful pieces with contemporary form.”

Awards will include the following:

  • Best of Show – $1000
  • 4 Mechanics Banks Awards of Excellence – $250 each
  • Margaret Twitchell Swank Award for Painting – $250
  • Sid Yellen Award for Photography – $250
