Village Artisans Gallery in Yellow Springs, OH, is presenting “I Triple-Dog Dare You!” – (a.k.a. Art by Carol and her Sisters). Village Artisan member Carol Culbertson is teaming up with her two sisters for a small-group show in the Lobby Gallery of Village Artisans in Yellow Springs from August 15 through October 1, 2018. There will be an artists’ reception on Friday, August 17, from 6 PM to 9 PM. Both the reception and the show are free and open to the public.

The artwork presented is that of Village Artisans member Carol Culbertson of Enon, OH, and that of her two sisters: Nancy Crawford and Barbara Richey. Carol is a painter, weaver, quilter, potter, and retired elementary school art teacher pursuing her interests in art. The sisters grew up in Enon. 

Nancy Crawford, is a middle school art teacher in Johnstown, Ohio. She is a painter, quilter and potter. Nancy graduated from University of Cincinnati with a degree in Graphic Arts. Barbara Richey is a Xenia, OH, potter, quilter, painter and weaver. She teaches Computer Tech at several elementary schools in Xenia.

When asked the significance of the show’s title, Carol said, “The three of us were brainstorming ‘triple, trio, tri, etc.’ and this saying popped out! We thought it would be great so we challenged each other to create work for a show. Like, ‘I Triple dog dare ya’ to do a show! Plus, it is a fun remembrance of childhood – growing up together in a small town in a big family,” she said.

Gallery hours* are Monday – Thursday 11 AM – 5 PM; Friday and Saturday 11 AM – 6 PM; and Sunday Noon – 5 PM.
