In conjunction with the current exhibition We > Me: 17 Artists Explore Hamilton Neighborhoods,Hamilton City Schools students were asked to tell their stories through photographing their neighborhoods and schools. Their focus is how their neighborhood or school fits into one of the 17STRONG neighborhoods in Hamilton. A district wide call for entries was sent out, over 400 images were submitted through their art teachers and 96 images were selected for this exhibit. Participating photographers were from Bridgeport Elementary, Brookwood Elementary, Ridgeway Elementary, Riverview Elementary, Garfield Middle, Wilson Middle, Hamilton Freshmen, and Hamilton High. We hope you enjoy the neighborhoods of Hamilton captured through the lens of kids kindergarten through Grade 12.

This exhibition, featuring 40 artworks by 23 artists in a variety of media, serves as a testament to the enduring creativity and passion of Southwest Ohio's art educators, members, and advocates. Over the decades, SWOAEA members have not only honed their craft but also inspired countless generations, fostering a deep appreciation for the arts in the communities they serve.

The dynamic art on view represents both youth and adult works from onsite classes and summer camps plus some of the communities of artists who engage in Fitton Center outreach programming and connect with us as partners.  The show includes over 120 artworks by over 80 artists in a range of media.

Featuring paintings by SOS ART Artist in Residence, Chrissy Collopy, and student collages created in her community workshop.

In this exhibition, over 325 youth artists explore how we’re connected in our Key Verse this year at Immanuel Lutheran School, John 15:1-5. Everything is connected; color, our genetics, plants, animals, nature, and all science. Even our purpose is connected through Jesus.

An artistic reverie is the refocusing of attention from outward surroundings to one's inner thoughts and feelings.  Badin students are encouraged to develop self-awareness and self-expression, while exploring themes that increase their skill level. Badin’s visual art department teaches students the fundamentals of art and design and guides them on their artistic journey.  When students engage their minds and allow their artistic expression to flow, they find themselves and realize how the world influences them and how they influence the world.  When they put their ideas into their artwork it becomes their own artistic reverie.

This show combines over 300 artworks from over 100 students from eight different Art II classes that take place at Hamilton City School District’s freshman campus building.  These art appreciation courses let students explore social and historical contexts of art making while developing the technical skills and vocabulary for art production and art aesthetics. They learn about art-related careers while getting more comfortable with a variety of media.  Students draw, paint, sculpt, and do printmaking while exploring creative avenues for visual problem-solving.

This second annual dual-venue exhibition displayed at the Fitton Center and at Strauss Gallery in downtown Hamilton features the diverse artworks of nearly 50 members of the Women’s Art Club of Hamilton.  WACH believes that art brings people together, and together we can have a positive impact on each other and on our city.

The Boys and Girls Club is a national organization providing after-school programs to help youth develop essential skills that pave the way for success in school, career, and life. As part of our Outreach program we offer art classes at all three of their Hamilton locations on a rotating weekly basis.

Participants in the Fitton Center Art Class will be taking part in the Boys and Girls Clubs of America’s National Arts Contest this year. This exhibition is the local level of the contest. After judges evaluate the artwork on display, winners will move on to the regional exhibition.

These students are taking the ART 271 Sculpture 1 course at the Miami Regionals Hamilton campus. Work from these students represents several of their first projects using various materials such as wood, wire, and commonplace objects.

This collection of work represents the strength and diversity of the School of the Art’s visual art + design program.  The artwork on display demonstrates a range of mediums which include drawings, paintings, and mix media illustrations created by students in grades 11 - 12 throughout their junior and senior year at Butler Tech School of the Arts.

We invite you to experience 125 artworks by about 90 resilient and creative Butler County youth who have found a creative outlet to help them on their healing journey.  Even through challenges, trauma, and struggle-beauty has been created.  Artwork contributed by youth from Booker T. Washington Community Center, Edge Teen Center, Envision Partnerships, H.Y.P.E., Union Day Therapeutic School, and the Wraparound program at the Butler County Family & Children First Council.
