Schumacher Gallery opened a special exhibit with selected works from its Ethnic Collections this week.

The exhibit features a significant number of African and Oceanic works. This includes many sculptures, masks, and artifacts. The majority of works in the collection were donated to the gallery.

"All of the works in the exhibit are part of our permanent collection," Dave Gentilini, Assistant to the Director said.

"We don't have the space to have all of the works on display all of the time, so we try to pull it [the collection] out every couple of years."

According to Gentilini, the Schumacher Gallery has one of the largest Oceanic and African collections in the state.

The reception for the Ethnic Exhibit will be from 5-7:30 p.m. on Friday, January 22 as part of the Bexley Art Walk.

Other galleries in the walk will be Hammond-Harkins Gallery on Main, the Bryan Roberts Gallery and Art Access Gallery on Drexel.

Next month, Schumacher will feature Elliot Erwitt: Dog Dogs. Elliot Erwitt was born in France, but raised in California.





He is known for his quirky and often humorous black and white photographs. Dog Dogs, specifically, pays tribute to man's best friend.

The Schumacher Gallery is also inviting Capital students, faculty, and staff to submit photos of their own dogs to be displayed in the gallery. Framed and wired photos must be submitted by February 4 to be eligible.
