COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio Department of Veterans Services, in partnership with the Ohio Arts Council, will host the 2025 Ohio Veterans Art Exhibition in downtown Columbus later this year.
The exhibition will run from Oct. 21 through Dec. 6 in the first-floor lobby of the Vern Riffe Center for Government and the Arts. Selected works will be displayed in the lobby area outside the Ohio Arts Council Riffe Gallery.
The event is open to Ohio residents who are current U.S. military members or veterans. Organizers encourage submissions in a variety of mediums, including three-dimensional pieces, regardless of whether the subject matter relates to military service.
An expert juror, who is also a veteran of the U.S. armed forces, will evaluate submissions. The juror’s name will be announced at a later date.
Space is limited, and all entries will be reviewed before final selections are made. Submission guidelines and entry information can be found HERE.
