The Day of the Dead Columbus Festival presents a collective exhibition of local artists inspired by the Día de Muertos, a celebration of life, death and everything in between. Each piece is a form of tribute to a person, family, animal, or community to honor their lifetime in this world and the continuation of life in the forward step after death.

Beauty in the Negative

November 17 – December 30

Opening Reception: Friday Nov 17, 6-8pm
Free Event, Complimentary Food and Drink Provided 

Nature is a theme that runs through Beth Zandardelli’s work. It is represented in the use of cutouts, forming the image in a negative space. Vitreous enamel is used to highlight the design. The colors and luminosity developed with enamel draws the viewer into the pieces. Meg Beech’s work is composed in three-dimensional form. These ceramic sculptures are portraits showing the balance and contrast between clunky awkwardness and graceful beauty. Human reality is seen in the juxtaposition of our flaws and shortcoming with our unique, individual, onw-of-a-kind beauty.
