“ Thirty Voices: Multidimensional Stories, Art Book Circle 2024”
Thirty artists took part in a unique community-building art project called Art Book Circles in Yellow Springs in 2024. The exhibition, with an Opening Reception on Friday, April 4th from 6:00pm – 9:00pm, will feature much of their work in April at the Yellow Springs Art Council gallery on Corry Street.
Three groups of ten artists each created “art books,” making a new work of 2-D art each month for ten months, then passing their books to another group member. By the year’s end, each person’s “art book” contained one work by each member of their group.
“Being part of the Art Book Circle meant keeping my creative soul alive,” says Nancy Mellon, whose art will be shown in April. All varieties of work made their way into the books: collage, poetry, printmaking, fiber, photography, drawing and painting. The participants included beginners as well as those with a professional or lifelong art practice.
The project began in 2023 and expanded in 2024, organized by local artists Marie Hertzler, Dennie Eagleson and Forest Bright.

One World — Our Arts Community Celebrates Diversity, and Showcases Why We Must Support Each Other
Reception Saturday, July 5th
This is an open call for members. The goal of the show is to showcase why we must support our fellow humans. The hope for the exhibition is that work will range from showing the beauty of human connection to the harm of hate and isolation. This show is meant to be powerful and to leave patrons wanting to educate themselves, call their loved ones, participate in activism or whatever way they see best to actively be a positive force in their space – we want to leave viewers with a thirst to fight for a better world.
