The Ohio Artist Registry (OAR) is an exciting opportunity for artists to share their work, connect with the creative community, and establish an online presence—all on a free, virtual platform! The OAR encourages artists working in all art forms, throughout Ohio and beyond, to create a profile, which allows them to better promote themselves and their work. Being listed in the OAR provides artists with new opportunities to share their work with clients, galleries, patrons, and audiences. For more information, contact Kathy Signorino, artist programs director, at kathy.signorino@oac.ohio.gov or 614-728-6140.

Benjamin Sostrom
Artist Everyday Props – Designs by Ben SostromBio
Ben Sostrom is a woodworker and mixed-media sculptor based in Columbus, Ohio. Growing up, he first developed an affinity for wood in his grandfather’s garage workshop, and exploring the woods along the banks of the Olentangy River. Later, by way of the contrasting worlds of astronomy, theatre and furniture design, he found his way back to wood sculpture, with a particular focus on blending elements from his scientific background with the dramatic forms of the natural world.
The artist is a graduate of The Ohio State University’s Departments of Theatre and Astronomy and has worked as an actor and props designer in theatre and film for over 15 years. His sculptural work was the subject of the shows “beingnonbeing” (2019) and “These Are Not For You” (2021) and has been exhibited in spaces throughout Columbus. He has been represented by Studios on High Gallery since 2018.
