Events

All Riffe Gallery events are free and open to the public.

January 27- April 17, 2011 Here's Looking at You: Portraits in Ohio Curated by Kay Koeninger The 14 Ohio artists in the exhibition stretch the idea of what a portrait can be; through their eyes, we see not only the world but ourselves and others in a transformative new light. They are not constrained by a past art form but are energized and profoundly inspired by it. Image credit: Leslie Adams, Micheal Shane Neal, Charcoal on paper, 60 x 40"
