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. A listing in the OAR does not confer an endorsement, approval, or verification by the Ohio Arts Council.
For more information, contact Kathy Signorino, artist programs director, at kathy.signorino@oac.ohio.gov or 614-728-6140.

Bio
MICHAEL SCHEURER
In a career spanning more than forty years, Michael Scheurer is known for enigmatic and masterfully worked collage series rich with art historical, textual, and design references. His artistic output is heavily influenced by his expertise in ancient and modern art and objects including African tribal sculpture, Venetian glass trade beads, exotic woven carpets, and antique textiles. Scheurer’s personal artwork is held in private collections from New York to Australia.
