LIMA, OH (WLIO) - A new exhibit at ArtSpace/Lima showcases work made and collected by two married local professors while they were still alive.
"Scenes from the Sullivans" is made up of photos, sculptures, cloth art, paintings, and even more mediums that the couple purchased or created in their travels to countries all over the world. The exhibit is spread across three rooms and will be on display through November 4th.
Bill and Mary Ann Sullivan left the work to ArtSpace in their estate about a year ago, when Bill Sullivan passed. Both were highly involved in the local art community and taught at Ohio State Lima and Bluffton University.
"Both of them were professors, they met at The Ohio State Columbus campus back in the day. Bill was a professor at Ohio State Lima and Mary Ann was a Bluffton University professor, then Bluffton College. They would teach English and art history," explained Kinsey Barrows, a curator and program writer at ArtSpace/Lima.
This Thursday at 6:30 pm, ArtSpace will host "Dinner with the Sullivans", featuring guest speakers to talk about the couple's lives and their legacy.
