Join us for the opening reception of the 17th Annual Northwest Ohio (NowOH) Community Art Exhibition at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, July 23. NowOH celebrates the talents of regional artists in the beautiful gallery setting of the BGSU Fine Arts Center.

The opening reception features a gallery talk by David Ross, a community artist turned advocate for youth and creativity. Ross is serving as the judge for this year's NowOH Art Show. An alumnus of the Arts Commission of Greater Toledo’s Young Artists at Work program, Ross connects visual art and social issues with a focus on youth against crime and art in relation to health. He also works with the city of Toledo's Youth Commission to build creative engagement opportunities for young people and is the founder of the charity Dunkin 4 Donations.

The 2024 NowOH Art Show is free and open to the public with gallery hours from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday and 1-5 p.m. on Sunday.
