Hilltop Artists
OPEN NOW THROUGH SEPTEMBER 5
The Hilltop Artists are a Cincinnati-based group which maintains a membership of
about eighteen professional women artists. The club was established 53 years ago and
has held a standard of excellence over the years. The original members were residents
in and around the College Hill area, hence the name Hilltop Artist. Exhibited works
will include watercolor, oil, pen & ink, color pencil, fabric collage, enamel, monotype
and monoprint.
4th Annual Community Showcase
OPENING SEPTEMBER 19 THROUGH NOVEMBER 7
The Fairfield Community Arts Center sponsors the annual
Community Showcase designed to provide an opportunity
for emerging area artists. Some of the best that Greater
Cincinnati has to offer is highlighted in artwork from all
ages and experience levels. Local artists, ages 18 or older,
who have not previously had a private showing and reside
within 50 miles of Fairfield will take part in the juried
competition.
Opening reception September 18 from 6 - 8pm with light refreshments.
Art in Contrast:
Rebecca Barker and Shirley Salsinger
OPENING NOVEMBER 21 THROUGH JANUARY 9
Take a few minutes out of your busy holiday schedule to view the work of artists
Rebecca Barker and Shirley Salsinger. In
Rebecca Barker’s remarkable and
colorful acrylic paintings, called
“Quiltscapes,” traditional quilts are
blended into images of landscapes,
seascapes, still life, and farm scenes.
Shirley Salsinger, in contrast, works with
watercolor and colored pencil in her quiet
wintry snow scenes and soft furry pet
portraits. Each evokes impressions of the
pleasant and positive places that form the
patchwork of our lives.
“Feathered Stars” by Rebecca Barker
Opening reception November 20 from 6 - 8pm with light refreshments.
