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
P31 ART & DESIGN is a Christian, multigenerational art and design company. Through artistic expression, we take pride in ourselves as we enjoy the experience of creation and celebrate the uniqueness of every work of art.
We are currently a fully operational online store that not only sells art, but also original pieces that are handcrafted and hand-painted such as purses, pouches, handbound books, and handmade paper. There are no two items that are the same. Our original paintings are the inspiration for our fully customizable spiral-bound journals, greeting cards, and wall art prints. Our stationery is made of handmade paper, from organic substances such as flower petals, plant matter, and natural dyes and pigments from vegetables and minerals. Our paper and handbound books are also parts of our original works collections. At P31 ART & DESIGN, our art is our passion available for all to enjoy.
Our company is located in Akron, OH, and officially came into fruition in 2021. We recently took up residency in the Summit Artspace Studio 318, with the goal of hosting art classes and selling our products in person at the quarterly art walks. We recently launched our On the Drying Rack Art club that meets on Wednesdays as an after school arts enrichment program.
Together, Stephanie and Kyla, mother-daughter duo plans to bring awareness to Black Art while inspiring others to chase after their dreams. Our primary goal is to continue to become active advocates of the Black Art community aspiring to build networks of connections that can last a lifetime.
We are active members in the Zine Zone, Women’s Art League of Akron, BE Arts Collective, Akron Black Artists Guild, and Artists of Rubber City.
