Beneath open umbrellas in hues of blue, red, purple, and
gold, men and women walk away from us, to the left and right of a four-tiered
fountain, in an open plaza. The fountain, in the center of the picture, has water
spilling over the edges of its four basins, giving the fountain a triangular
silhouette. Trees, and tall buildings behind them, loom in the shimmering grey
background. There is a dip in the pink, tan, and grey skyline in the center of the
image, just above the top of the fountain. The buildings get darker and more
indistinct at the far left and right.

This bony white open-work domed form is shaped like an
overturned shallow bowl. Rib-like fingers extend down from a curved spine
across the top of the sculpture. The “ribs” are connected along the outer ends,
leaving oval openings between them. Areas around some of the openings are
tinged with turquoise blue and pale red. A mass of thin wires hangs down below
the form.

Here is an ad created by Art Possible Ohio the ad features artwork by AEO 24' artist Kevin Kurre and Steve Edinger Kevin's work is on the right side of page you will see a vase constructed of slab circles in jewel tones of turquoiseblue, yellow, orange, green, dark blue and purple alternate with coils outlined in black. The top edge of the vase is dark blue, and the thick base is bright red. The bottom row of circles also has three circles in white, pink, and dark blue, made from coiled clay and as you look at Steve's piece you will see a rectangular box forms the body of this long necked, wooden instrument. The neck is three times as long as the body and is made from a thick, rounded piece of wood. The headstock (at the top end of the neck, where the tuning pegs are) has a slit carved down its center. The wood on either side of the opening is carved into long, thin shapes with oval tips that resemble bunny ears. The frets are made from thin wire wrapped horizontally and spaced at intervals along the neck. Wide bands of shiny orange copper wrap around the bottom of the neck where it joins the box as well as the ends of the rounded
wooden tailpiece that holds the three strings in place. Chicken wire fills the large
circular sound hole the top of the page says CALL FOR ART and the bottom reads Accessible Expressions Ohio Applications open: Sept 1st

The Wizard of Oz live Audio Description (1939)
85th Anniversary!

Featuring Judy Garland, Ray Bolger, Bert Lahr

“Somewhere over the rainbow” lies the magical world of Oz, ruled by a mysterious Wizard. When farm girl Dorothy Gale and her puppy Toto get blown to Oz by a Kansas tornado, she teams up with a crew of misfits to find the Wizard — and her way home. She is pursued by the Wicked Witch of the West, who is trying to avenge her sister’s death and regain her magic ruby slippers. This technicolor dream classic features an iconic Judy Garland and soundtrack as familiar as our own childhood.

A short film, Beanstalk Bunny (1955), featuring Daffy Duck as Jack, Elmer Fudd as the Giant, and Bugs Bunny as himself will be shown after the organ music and prior to the feature film. This will also be described. Total length of time for the cartoon (7 min.), feature film (1 hr, 42 min.), and 15-minute intermission should be approximately 2 hours 5 minutes.
