A New World:
Ohio Women to Watch 2023

A collaboration with the Ohio Arts Council’s Riffe Gallery in Columbus

For the seventh time, the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C., is holding a worldwide exhibition of women artists who are under-recognized.

The Ohio Advisory Group is honored to participate once again in this exhibition and shine a spotlight on Ohio women artists whose artwork explores complex concepts around the potential of our individual and collective experiences and futures.

A New World: Ohio Women to Watch 2023 represents an exciting and diverse collaboration with the Ohio Arts Council’s Riffe Gallery and follows our initial 2015 partnership with the Cleveland Institute of Art and 2018 and 2020 partnerships with the Ohio Arts Council. We’re delighted that this exhibition represents a geographic reach that encompasses multiple areas of our state. We are grateful to Cat Sheridan for helping us realize this vision and we appreciate the generosity of the Ohio Arts Council as sponsor, host, and presenting partner.

View the exhibition now through September 7th, 2024. Visit the Southern Ohio Museum and Cultural Center Website for details.

We’re also grateful to our co-curators, Sso-Rha Kang, director of galleries and outreach at Northern Kentucky University, and Matt Distel, exhibitions director and interim executive director for The Carnegie in Greater Cincinnati. Their care-filled selection of these 11 artists from across the great state of Ohio has once again garnered an exceptional exhibition.

The dedication of many funders has enabled us to expand the impact of A New World: Ohio Women to Watch 2023, and further elevate our featured artists.
