Introduction Since opening the gallery in 1980, Tim and I have been committed to exploring and sharing the rich artistic legacy of Ohio. Dozens of exhibitions, presentations, and publications later, we still thrill to the discovery of long lost works by Ohio artists.

Happily, three such objects were placed by the gallery in museum collections in the past year. And over 100 works by Ohio artists have been acquired by museums with our help over the history of the gallery. Thank you for your tremendous support in helping to preserve the State’s heritage. I hope you can join us to celebrate another chapter in Ohio’s extraordinary contribution to the history of American art.
