CELEBRATE OAEA – Be a part of the 70th Anniversary All-Member Exhibit!
OAEA was formally established on November 12, 1954, at the Cincinnati Convention. The organization technically began much earlier as a committee of what has become the Ohio Education Association (OEA). That is why the OAEA has always been able to offer our members a payroll deduction option. The 50th Anniversary was celebrated at the 2004 Conference in Columbus with the theme, “Hand, Heart, Mind – OAEA’s 50 Year Journey”.
Now it’s time to celebrate another milestone birthday. In honor of the 70th anniversary we will hold an “all member” exhibition at the Wild Goose Creative gallery located at 188 McDowell Street in Columbus in the Franklinton Arts District. Not only is this venue centrally located, but there’s plenty of room to display tons of artwork! Visit their website to learn more about this organization Wild Goose Creative. This project is organized by the OAEA Distinguished Fellows.
Members may submit two art works. Work may be sold with 100% going to the artist. Deadline for submissions is May 1.
