The Pump House Center for the Arts starts their year with the annual “Best of Ross County,” a judged show of high school art, with an opening reception Thursday evening.
I caught the judge of the show at the Pump House Wednesday, and found that he was my OU-C photography instructor Dennis Deane – who has also taught other art classes.
He had not assigned the ribbons yet in the Pump House, but agreed to give a video tour of the show in part to help him make up his mind…which turned into a long chat on his observations on the students’ art, and art philosophy. Watch all 35 minutes of the interview in the five videos in the article on the Scioto Post.
Then, join me 6:30 February 1st in the Pump House in Chillicothe’s Yoctangee Park to find out who the winners are…and enjoy pizza and lemonade among high school talent!
