Works on Paper is a juried exhibition created for artists living within a 40-mile radius of Dayton, Ohio. This annual exhibition features two-and three-dimensional works of art on or of paper. Artist awards totaling $1,100 will be selected the juror. Gallery visitors will select a People’s Choice Award made possible through the Joan W. McCoy Memorial Art Fund.

The Juror this year for Works on Paper is Jennifer Wenker. Jennifer is Curator of Collections and Exhibitions at the Springfield Museum of Art. Prior to joining the Museum staff, she was Creative Director of the Herndon Gallery at Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, and founder of the Spark! Creative Artspace nonprofit collective in southern Ohio. Through her curatorial and studio practices, she explores ecopolitical and sociological themes with a spare, poetic sensibility. She received her MFA in Studio Art from the University of Cincinnati (DAAP) and her BA in Studio Art (drawing/printmaking) from Morehead State University.
