The twelve Ohio artists in this exhibition make paintings that deal with war, social, economic, and political issues, global warming, the effects of chemicals on our health, as well as matters of race and gender, said Dominique H. Vasseur. Their narratives range from age-old Native American life stories, traditional Ukrainian folk songs that offer explanations of human emotion and behavior to highly personal and autobiographical stories that defy easy explanation.

Join the Riffe Gallery for the opening of New Narratives: Paintings by Ohio Artists on May 7 from 5 - 7 p.m. Curator Dominique H. Vasseur will lead a tour of the exhibition on May 8 from noon to 1 p.m. Artists in the show include: Ron Anderson, Columbus; Adam Brouillette, Columbus; Donna Coleman, Oberlin; Diane Fitch, Yellow Springs, Edwin George, Kent; Deborah Morrissey-Goff, Cincinnati; Aka Pereyma, Troy; Lisa Schare, Cincinnati; Michael R. Stillion, Cincinnati; Laura R. Vinnedge, Akron; Brian R. Williams, Columbus; and Ronnie Williams, Dayton.
