January 16 – February 5, 2021

As creatives, we often use the act of making to process emotions that we may not always be able to freely articulate. It is in that vein that Open Door Art Studio & Gallery presents Creating Through Crisis, an exhibition of reflection featuring works by the artists we represent and the youth artists of the interim Open Door Pandemic Childcare Center.

With works created while Open Door artists were apart from one another, and works created when we, in some capacity, were able to come back together, this exhibition serves as a cathartic reminder, that we are not alone.

Creating Through Crisis was made possible by a generous grant from the Ohio Arts Council.

February 13 – March 5, 2021
