Ohio’s art scene is a hidden treasure, often overlooked in favor of more prominent cultural hubs like New York or Los Angeles. However, the Columbus State Delaware Campus is currently hosting an extraordinary exhibition that proves you don’t need to travel far to discover remarkable artistic talent.

Titled “The Eclectic Collections: A Showcase of Local Artists,” the exhibit is an amalgamation of artistry and vision featuring 12 Ohio-based artists. This dynamic collection is available for public viewing through November 9, presenting an array of techniques, styles, and themes that encapsulate both the complexity and simplicity of our everyday lives.

The Themes: A Mirror Reflecting Universal Experiences

The exhibition uniquely blends the diverse expertise of local artists, emphasizing not only the intricacies of different techniques but also a medley of subjects that touch upon universal experiences. The thematic underpinnings of the art pieces range from the ethereal beauty of the natural world to the complexities of human relationships and identities. Whether it’s an abstract painting representing the enigmatic elements of human emotions or a realistic sculpture capturing the serenity of nature, each piece promises to offer viewers a glimpse into shared human experiences.

When and Where to Experience the Magic

If you’re already intrigued, mark your calendars! The exhibit is open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., and on Fridays and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Located at 5100 Cornerstone Drive in Delaware, the Columbus State Delaware Campus offers ample parking, ensuring that the only effort you’ll exert is pondering the deeper meanings behind each piece.

Beyond the Canvas: More Than Just Art

One of the standout features of the exhibition is its commitment to education and community engagement. Apart from the stunning artworks, the exhibit also hosts a series of educational events that delve deeper into the techniques, inspirations, and narratives behind the pieces. These artist highlights and interactive events offer a more holistic understanding of art as both a personal and communal experience.


So if you’re an art enthusiast, a curious local, or someone in search of an enriching cultural experience, “The Eclectic Collections: A Showcase of Local Artists” is an event you won’t want to miss. The exhibit not only presents a unique opportunity to explore an extensive range of artistic styles and themes but also provides the community with a platform for dialogue and reflection. Ohio might not yet be the art capital of America, but exhibitions like this one certainly make a compelling case for its rich, evolving cultural landscape.
