This strange e-mail came to me I'd like to share it and discuss the implications if you''l allow me...Ohio Governor's Office Art Exhibition Opportunit
Signorino, Kathy
to OAC, Ken Dear Ohio Artist:
We are contacting you today to tell you about a wonderful exhibition opportunity. Since 1985 the Ohio Arts Council (OAC) has assisted in placing artwork by Ohio artists and Ohio cultural institutions in the Governor’s Residence and throughout the Governor’s offices. Governor John Kasich and his staff have contacted the OAC with the desire to continue this tradition of displaying Ohio artists’ work in the Governor’s office located in the Vern Riffe Center for Government and the Arts in downtown Columbus.
We are contacting Ohio artists who work in painting, drawing, photography and mixed media for this year’s exhibition. A landscape theme has been selected and the goal of the program is to feature images that represent the various regions of the state. Only two-dimensional work is being considered due to the space limitations within the Governor’s office.
A panel representing the Governor’s office, two museum/gallery directors and a member of the Ohio Arts Council staff will jury the submissions. All works should be available for a one year loan from time of selection. Artists interested in submitting artwork for consideration should complete the attached form and send a disc of images of the available pieces to the address below.
The deadline for submission is April 22, 2011. Please send all information to:
We hope that you will be interested in participating in this opportunity to highlight the amazing artists and artwork being created in our state to the Governor, members of the Governor’s office, legislators and citizens. If you should have any questions please contact Ken Emerick at ken.emerick@oac.state.oh.us
Sincerely,
Julie S. Henahan
Executive Director

www.oac.state.oh.us/aboutoac/buildingacase.pdf - Okay first bullet point is the sites differ,..weird No notice? i've been a member of OAC hmm about a year and a half?!, and originally to better understand and perhaps be eligible to Ohio artists grants(because i have some incredible,and innovative artistic developments and events that will be and could be beneficial to the state perhaps I've mentioned before?) and to better understand the state artists grants they tirelessly DEFUND! So after many scathing reports and outspoken voice of mine about my non-support of or agreement with this administrative state govt.(I mean its really well known?!)_To my surprise ,, i got this e-mail ...then after closer inspection,...a little research and some common sense i was aghast..! Look at the conflicting addresses ,ok,now look who it was sent to me from and who its supposedly signed from...got it...now google those names and you'll obviously see the contradiction and blatant hidden agenda,
- they have defunded through the Governor's new budget the OAC the Ohio art's council and laid off all workers,... k... then who signed my letter?!
- and who's Ken and why's it forwarded and why's there a answering service no oAC office and is unreachable although they are saying it's the OAC ...is it...?
- why when i go to OAC's website there's no mention of governors art show only them being cut and all operations are cut 20%(by the Gov.) so obviously their letter you read^ was falsified resent from a laid off administrator or,,... insidiously as it sounds they are trying to link me and the Governor who staunchly I oppose and well you see how this could play out? don't you?
- the new Oac Appointee from a extension sent me this,... Do they think Im fool ready to be exploited???(keeping in mind last grant there's only 1 every 2 years for fine artist painters in the whole state a 5000$ piss ant grant9only spent on specified materials and only so much on tools??? why!?)I dont have exspenses??) that when i inspected was so difficult to format and submit it literally was not worth the added hardware payment to tech or whatever it was believe me and im tech savvy... possible? not quite a total scam...
- so I have never bothered and have always considered art grants at least in Ohio a Insiders game so to my surprise all they need is a cd with my art ... weird now its strangely simple....
- what Im supposed to believe in my desire for them to RENT my art will throw all moral and civic convictions I may have aside for profit I am not that guy , sorry..,,, need your opinion am I being to harsh or protective of a hostile exploitation and then Pr campaign Im surely likely to be subjected to . Ridiculous for what,.,..? arts cut... my world and society ruined .....Im sorry..(they gotta be f**king wit me right?)
- I must respectfully ask for your opinion, just cause many around me want me to do this, i can tell you now aint gonna happen cause my duty as a human comes first can I rightfully even support by "renting " my art to King,..Kasich or am I being set up seriously...this is really messing with me I would love to know what you think notice the addresses are different the offices are unreachable and I'm really about to leave the freaking country what shall I do?
- Last point How could they have contacted the OAC office to institute this program when they no longer exist other than the blog and answer service? Don't think im debating doing it even the thought of some subliminal art in the state house or even my recycled eco-art gives me smiles, But I can NOT in clear conscience support the demise of our Great Nation ,for my personal gain in that im committed,.. Your input please ?
