The Process:
We searched. They applied. We checked each of their 3 references to see if they played nice. 

Seven YSAC Gallery Committee Members juried for a whole day. One artist smoked and we thought, “No, that might be bad for the others, he can’t go out to smoke.”
Sometimes the choice came down to “the other artists would have more fun creating with this artist.” It was very painful to choose.  But we did.
The three artists are:

Ron Hundt from Kettering, Ohio. He’s the artist with the blue beard — “Papa Smurf”. He presented us with a box. It held “American Gothic Reimagined as Stick Figures”.
Jennifer Bachelder from Westerville, Ohio. Her reference said “Trash + Art + meeting and working with new artists = Jen” She holds trash parties for friends to create art.
Pierre Nagley from Yellow Springs, Ohio. He sent 6 pictures all totally different mediums. One was a 7 foot tall Bottle Cap Buddha
Videographer Travis Hawkes from Glen Ellyn, Illinois. He shoots and edits videos for a living. We went to his web site, watched his videos and bingo! he’s in.

On Sunday, November 9th, these 3 artists will meet each other for the first time and see the gallery but not what is in the boxes. We will go over rules. That evening they get pre- interviews with Travis, the videographer. The next morning they will be locked in the gallery. There will be Peek Holes in the papered-over windows during the lock in. Come peek in­ Monday – Wednesday, November 10th, 11th, 12th.
Then join us at the Opening Reception on Friday, November 14th, 6­-9 p.m. and see what the artists created! There will also be an Artists Tell All Talk at 7 p.m.

YSAC Community Gallery is open Wednesdays­-Sundays 1-­4 pm except for the Monday through Friday before each Opening Reception.
