About the artist:
Gary is an accomplished artist who uses the medium of exotic wood species from all over the world to create pieces that captivate the eye with both color and form. This artist uses a segmenting polychromatic process to create stunning work. He has demonstrated at Ohio Valley Woodturners Guild, the OVWG Symposium, and at the Central Ohio Woodturners. He has won many first-place awards at Artistry in Wood, OVWG contests, and Central Ohio Woodturners contests. He is a member of OVWG, a member and officer of Central Ohio Woodturners, and a member of the American Association of Woodturners. He creates his art pieces in a studio at Lake Choctaw, London, Ohio
2024 Poetry Marathon
The Goal: Write one poem every hour, for twenty-four hours. There are also two half marathons that occur during the same twenty-four period. The goal of the half marathons is to write one poem every hour for twelve hours straight. You can play catch up if you miss a few hours, but you cannot write poems in advance.
The Reward: In one day you will write a chapbook worth of poems. An admirable achievement. You also get the satisfaction and bragging rights that comes with completing a challenge, as well as the Official Marathon Writer’s Certificate.
The Date: The Poetry Marathon starts at 9 AM ET on Saturday June 15th, 2024 and goes till 9 AM on Sunday the 16th of June in 2024. Those who are interested in doing a half marathon can either start at 9 AM ET on the 15th of June and go till 9 PM. Or they can start at 9 PM ET on the 15th and go till 9 AM on the 16th of June. The second option might work better for poets living outside of North America.
How It Will Work: Every hour you must write and post a poem on this site. The length and content of this poem is up to you. There will be prompts posted on the official website, every hour on the hour. You can choose to follow these prompts or ignore them. What you do with the rest of the hour is up to you. You can write the whole time, you can sleep, cook, eat, edit, run…

Ladies Night Out Art Journals and Altered Books
Introduction and Construction
4th Wednesday – June 19th
Join Jennifer Tritle at the London Art Center for a creative night of friends and fun.
Jennifer is a creative soul with a love for beautiful things. After a satisfying career as a therapist serving victims of sexual abuse and teaching psychology courses to college students, she had the privilege and pleasure of delving deeper into the fine arts. Years of card-making and scrapbooking led her into the unique world of mixed media art. Jennifer’s mixed media talents include art journaling, collage and assemblage word, altered books, junk journals, smash books, and paper-crafting. Her artwork and written articles have been published in several art trade journals. She loves sharing her art with others in hopes of inspiring them to find their art in their lives.
The class will assemble over three dates (one per month), as participants will build a journal or altered book from scratch and proceed each month to decorate it, populate it, and build more, as time permits. Supplies will be provided all three nights.
This is an adult only party.
Date: 6/19
