Welcome to the inaugural year of Columbus Open Studio and Stage! When the Greater Columbus Arts Council launched the Art Makes Columbus/Columbus Makes Art campaign, one of our guiding visions was to build direct interest in and engagement with the incredibly creative artists in our community.

Through social media, public relations efforts and advertising, we are telling the stories of artists in all disciplines—from theater to dance, visual arts to film and music. On the ColumbusMakesArt.com site you can explore the lives of Columbus artists through videos, photos and their words. But nothing compares to being able to talk to an artist directly, learn about their inspiration and process, and see their art in person.

When Amy Leibrand, Lisa McLymont, Stephanie Rond and Catherine Bell Smith approached us with the idea of a self-guided studio tour we immediately saw the synergy with Art Makes Columbus. Its reach across multiple neighborhoods in Columbus and the enthusiasm with which the idea was greeted among artists and others told us this event had incredible potential. By working with Columbus presenters to enable people to get a peek behind the (literal) curtain at seven different stages, and adding free programming at nine community partners, we feel that Columbus Open Studio and Stage is an ideal way to offer insight into the passion, commitment and amazement of the arts that have such a huge impact on our city.

We hope you’ll enjoy meeting these talented creatives, touring our performing venues and engaging with artists across the community. And don’t forget to #artmakescbus!

Tom Katzenmeyer President and CEO Greater Columbus Arts Council IN THE BEGINNING 5

Columbus Open Studio & Stage (COSS) was born out of a desire to reveal to the public the creative process. Artists themselves, the four founders of COSS, Stephanie Rond, Catherine Bell Smith, Lisa McLymont and Amy Leibrand, understood the misperception of artists as solitary creatures who play with mysterious, hidden methods. Having wondered “how did they create that?” the four women recognized the need for a peek behind the scenes to demystify the artistic process.

The idea for an open studio tour was first proposed by Stephanie in 2014, who approached Catherine, Lisa and Amy as co-collaborators. Originally the tour was to include only visual art studios. The scale was small—the initial intent was to conduct a pilot test with a limited number of artists before expanding citywide. However, the concept quickly took root and grew.

After many months of research and discussion, Stephanie, Catherine, Lisa, and Amy formed Columbus Open Studios, Inc. With a business plan in hand, the team approached the Greater Columbus Arts Council (Arts Council) to brainstorm about logistics and planning. The Arts Council immediately recognized the tour’s value to the community and suggested COSS seek a city-wide audience and be broadened to include performance venues and community partners. Thus, a partnership was born. This shared vision has ensured COSS a more diversified participation with a scope that includes much more than visual arts.

Though the initial idea has evolved, the COSS mission remains the same: to deepen the relationship between creative and appreciator. COSS aims to expand the creative audience within the city of Columbus by providing a unique opportunity for the public to interact with artists, observe their process, and explore backstage at performance venues. With an eye to the future, we hope to see you at COSS 2017! 6 ARTIST STUDIOS 7 8 Neighborhood Dance!

“I have come to the season of my life where love is more important than winning.

“My post-impressionist approach utilizes bold colors and forms with a strong graphic appeal.

“In my work I explore the things of beauty that animate our world — lush landscapes, birds, books, fruit and flowers, all used here as signs of a reverence for nature and our life in it. At the heart of this work is a belief that life-affirming, universal truths can be found in these small painted worlds.” ANITA DAWSON 21

“I strongly believe that art is a metaphorical statement of our subjective world-view. My work emanates from a metamorphosis of self-realization to social consciousness. It offers a glimpse of my soul and the complex world around. I think the purpose of art is to resist established norms and challenge dogmas to keep humanity and sanity alive.” MAIRA HASHMI 25

“I feel an inner drive, an extension of my fascination with the physical qualities of the world, particularly nature.

“I like to sew puppets. Hand puppets, finger puppets, and head puppets. I like to use the puppets for artistic play spreading kindness and fearless self-expression. With the collaboration of amazing performers, defenses can drop making room for audience and Open Heart Creatures to experience raw feelings. This movement creates dialogue for positive shift, acceptance, and empathy.” PILGRIM HEIDI KAMBITSCH 29

“I am learning things that musicians and painters have in common. We all play with rhythm and harmony and color, following some little thread of an idea with the hope of building an effective composition, trying to communicate a feeling from inside the confines of our respective mediums. We share the same creative pull and we can’t help but do this stuff, whether it makes sense or not.” LINDA LANGHORST 31

Drawn to musical imagery, Linda Langhorst began painting musicians in the 1990s with an Ohio State Marching Band series, followed by street musicians and scenes along the Blues Highway.

“My art is created in a relaxed environment. Whether heavy textures, vibrant colors, or contrasting shades are present, my designs are always inspired by nature. My work can be seen, torched wood can be smelled throughout the air, and when carved or glossed the designs can be felt by touch.” JULIE MACALA 35

“My work uses two ancient elements, Cochineal and Amate paper, both prominent and held in high esteem during a time when people lived in harmony with nature. I bring them to the contemporary fore in a humble and perhaps quixotic attempt to stop, or at least slow down, the relentless movement away from nature in our modern world.” ELENA OSTERWALDER 41

“I often use photographs as a starting point in my work. And while I may start with photographs, the paintings that result are far from rote copies. Rather, they align themselves more closely with the work of Albert Pinkham Ryder, Marsden Hartley, Ralph Albert Blakelock, and a host of other artists who saw both beauty and menace in the land they chose to paint.” JEFF REGENSBERGER 43

“I lead a double life as an artist, creating densely layered abstract paintings in one studio, and special effects sculpture in another.

“I have my own style of deconstructionism. It is formally articulated using dark lines and flat shapes with bright transparent color. The subjects of my pieces are very important to me. I want the viewer to know where I am in time, based on the image. Images that I’m drawn to include anime, cartoons, and other icons that define a decade.” ROGER WILLIAMS 57
