We exhibited Ron's original oil paintings at several Art Galleries and Museums recently and have been very impressed with the results of our Marketing efforts.
I will post about our experiences in exhibiting at these various locations as I find time to add posts to my Blog.
One venue in particular that we were very pleased to work with was the Springfield Museum of Art in Springfield, Ohio.
We worked with Mark Chepp (Director) , and Dominique Vasseur (former Deputy Director) and found them both to be very knowledgeable and professional. It was a pleasure to work with both gentlemen and their staff from initial planning through the return of artwork at the close of the exhibit.
Ron's solo exhibit was displayed in the McGregor Gallery of the Museum and this space is an artists dream for an incredible gallery to display paintings. If you visit the Museum web site and access the "Past Exhibits" link, you can view the gallery space.
We were very excited about the number of people who drove down to Springfield from Columbus, Ohio to see the show. Our guests included several of Ron's Art Patrons as well as an Art Exhibit Coordinator for a local prominent Art Gallery space.
Ron was offered two major exhibits as a result of the show and was interviewed by Bill Mayr of The Columbus Dispatch newspaper who also made the trip to view the artwork.

This was one of our first shows where we displayed a large number of paintings. There were close to twenty paintings exhibited with a central theme of "tension" and "energy" that was displayed in some manner on each canvas.
This was also a great learning experience for me. We took the time to prepare and our planning and communication went very smoothly in working with the Museum. I took time after the show to modify the various checklists, forms and correspondence I prepare for our exhibits so that they will be even more useful for future exhibits.
We are now wrapping up details to have one of the paintings from the show included in the permanent art collection of the Museum.
