Flights of fancy: The Mazza Museum delves into the world of unearthly monsters
FINDLAY — For Dan Chudzinski, a bison jaw and moose cranium are artistic treasures; they are materials that can help an audience transcend into the fantastical world. That is just the objective at the 10th annual Enchanted Brush exhibit at the University of Findlay’s Mazza Museum, where visitors can peer into the worlds of unearthly monsters and fairytale characters. The Mazza Museum is showcasing a selection of fantasy artworks from across the world. The exhibition, which opened June 21 and will run through Aug. 30, is free and open to the public. This year’s theme is Heroes Welcome. “The idea for Heroes Welcome was that every great story has a hero,” said Chudzinski, director of curation and exhibitions at Mazza and founder of the Enchanted Brush exhibit. “Heroes come in all shapes and sizes, and so, if you ask an artist to interpret that theme, I knew that we would be guaranteed to find a few surprises, which is precisely what inspired the exhibition.”
