Embark on a captivating journey through the abstract creations of Michelle Renée Garrison, where she seamlessly combines the artistry of Origami with painting, offering a whimsical and enchanting perspective into nature. Between the Mountains, Exploring the Great Plains of North American, Artist: Thomas Croce November 20-January 31, 2025 | Reception: Sunday, November 24 | 2-4 pm Explore the misunderstood beauty of the Great Plains and prairies of North America through the awe-inspiring photography of Thomas Croce. Contrary to the attention that a mountain landscape may command, Croce draws attention to the subtleties of the prairie landscape. While you may not find a specific focal point, get lost in the vast expanse of land and sky and glimpse back in time when prairies covered almost one third of North America and Bison roamed freely. Today, prairies and grasslands have diminished significantly and have become the world's most endangered ecosystem. The Concourse Gallery is open Monday through Friday 8 am-5 pm or by appointment (please email jhatfield@uaoh.net to schedule a visit outside these hours). The Concourse Gallery is located inside the City of Upper Arlington's municipal building. Please expect to check in at the front window with an ID upon visiting during business hours.
