77th Ohio Annual Exhibition

On view Thursday, June 22—Saturday, September 9, 2023
Great Gallery, 2nd Floor

The Ohio Annual exhibition celebrates the Zanesville Museum of Art’s commitment to discovering, encouraging, and recognizing Ohio’s finest artists and artisans. This year, 59 works in a variety of media from artists all over Ohio, including several from right here in Zanesville, were accepted into the exhibition.

This year we are honored to have distinguished guest juror, Simone Spruce, select this year’s participants and award a $1,000 prize for Best in Show. 

The museum would like to thank the Beaux Arts Club who sponsor and present the Mrs. Janice Ballas Excellence in Fiber Arts Award and the $250 prize.

The museum will also recognize and present $100 awards in Painting, Drawing, Prints, and Collage, Sculpture, Glass, Photography, and a $500 Ceramics Heritage Award.

Each year we look forward to presenting a stylistically and thematically diverse exhibition that captures the essence of Ohio’s vibrant visual arts scene. The people, places, and customs found in each unique region of the Buckeye State inspire its artists, and the ZMA is in the fortunate position of recognizing and fostering this creativity.
