Local students’ artwork on display at the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus

COLUMBUS — As part of a month-long celebration of the arts and arts education, Logan-Hocking Middle School students Josh Brown, Kreo Kilpatrick, Aubrie McKinley, Grace Manter, Chase Rife, and Cohen Sohonage have had their artwork selected for the 2024 Statehouse Student Exhibition.

The Ohio Art Education Association joined with the Ohio Alliance for Arts Education, the Ohio Citizens for the Arts Foundation, and Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board to mount a student exhibition to recognize the talents, creativity, and innovation of students who receive high-quality arts education instruction as part of their academic experience in school.

The exhibition hosts works of art featuring students in grades K-12 in Ohio’s schools. The Statehouse Student Art Exhibition will be housed in the Ohio Statehouse and Riffe Center Gallery in Columbus, and the works of art will be open to the public during normal hours of operation daily. Last year, thousands of visitors took tours of the Statehouse during the exhibition and enjoyed the student work! The exhibition will open Saturday, April 6 and will close Friday, May 3 at the Ohio Statehouse and Thursday, May 21 at the Riffe Center Gallery.
