New artists get tiny space at the Cannery

Sometimes being short on space is a good thing. Just ask Christy Jennewein, director of the Cannery Art and Design Center. During the past two months, the center that typically shows the works of up to 40 artists has acquired six new artists, as well as ongoing representation for Western Ohio Watercolor Society and Dayton Society of Painters and Sculptors.
So there is only one tiny space left for artwork.
“These new collaborations bring in an abundance of new art from established artists and emerging artists who can get their start at the Cannery,” Jennewein said. “Eight of our artists have gone on to start their own galleries; so this is a nice jumping off point.”
Incoming CADC artists who would love something like that in their future include: Keli Bruns, Brendan Higgins, John F. Kirk, Mike Wetz, Andrea Starkey and Carol Stoops.
Bruns and Kirk are photographers; Starkey is presenting pastels. Carol Stoops is showing highly inventive contemporary 2D and 3D works. Wetz has already sold eight of his oil paintings since they went up at the Cannery about two months ago. Higgins is presenting several prints and acrylic landscapes.
“I get my inspiration from traveling and working with Zacharias Garden, which allows me to see the bold colors of nature,” said Higgens, a Fairborn resident who graduated from the Columbus College of Art & Design in 2006.
The Dayton Society of Painters and Sculptors has about 30 members and is currently featuring the works of Pam Adams in its space. The Western Ohio Watercolor Society boasts 175 members; the artists currently showing in that site are: Marianne Bachman, Sue Brezine, Diane Coyle, Misuk Goltz, Shirley Harbaugh, Sandra Hill, Floyd Hook, Pat Kister, Jim McCoy (WOWS president), Jennifer O’Brien, Judy Paden, Mary Peirano, Sharon Stolzenberger, Marianna Fricano Welsh and David Yarnall.
“Being here in the Cannery allows us to have exposure that we wouldn’t normally have,” said Stolzenberger, who has a number of crow paintings. “We have shows at Springfield Art Center and Town & Country, but here we have an ongoing presence, which is nice.”
CADC has a number of programs for artists and art patrons that are very attractive, especially in this economy. Artists get some help with promotion and marketing and work as a team to promote art in the area. For clients, there is a lease-to-buy program, seven-day art on approval, bridal registries and sidewalk sales.
“We want to make the clients happy as well as support the artists in making a living at what they truly love to do,” said Jennewein, who will be showing her decorative furniture at an upcoming exhibit at Bears Mill in Greenville.
