ArtSpace/Lima announces the opening of Industrial Ohio in The Ellen Nelson Gallery, Friday, Nov. 2.

Industrial Ohio is a thematic exhibit, featuring 27 works by 14 artists which focus on the multiple ways in which artists interpret, envision, or relate to the notion of industry, manufacturing, and agribusiness.

Local and Ohio artists Bill Heinemeier, Alice Schneider, Anita Lehman, Joseph A. Bonifas, John Rausch, Colin Hester and Michael Basista are joined by artists from across the United States and Canada in a joint exhibit intended to limn the aesthetics of our strong industrial heritage.

The exhibit showcases both 2-D and 3-D works, and includes oils, lithographs, photographs, a brass-copper-lead wood construction, earthen-ware, digital photographs, and forged steel.

Industrial Ohio is sponsored by Husky Energy of Lima, Ohio.
There will be an opening reception for the artists on Friday, Nov. 2, 6:30-8:30 p.m.

The exhibit will run through Dec. 15.
