Fur, Fins & Feathers (through June 5, 2011) Our featured exhibition during Summer Fun is Fur, Fins & Feathers, a family-friendly exhibition about animals in art that showcases works from CMA’s collection. This diverse exhibition includes a variety of media and styles, including Inuit stone carvings, contemporary photography, and American folk-art prints. Fur, Fins & Feathers includes many works that visitors may not have seen before. Because the Museum is currently under renovation, we can highlight works from our collection that normally are not on view. Special programming for the exhibition features hands-on activities, tours, and a weekly collaborative program called Community Capers. Community Capers includes visits from organizations such as the Ohio Wildlife Center, the Turtle Lady, and the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium that provide visitors with opportunities for hands-on interactions with animals and each other. You have a unique opportunity to help us make Fur, Fins & Feathers an interactive experience. An area of the exhibition will focus on People and their Pets. Do you have a pet that is special to you? Tell us about it. Take a photograph of your pet with yourself. E-mail your JPEG photograph, along with why your pet is special to you, to education@cmaohio.org.

HAIKU POETIC FOOD & ART, 800 N High St, 614-294-8168. AUG: Natural Grain, acrylic paints on natural birch wood panels. Jay Moffett is a Columbus native, a graduate of East High School and Ohio Dominican College. During college, he acquired a love for painting, and while pursuing other career options he continued to explore painting in various forms. His work is based on a theory of colour and line: For a painting to exist, it must combine those elements to take its shape. His explorations have included vivid abstractions to bold but rigid lines of colour placed against natural wood or canvas. He includes the ideas that the paint and the canvases have their own life and movement that compete and/or combine to create the work of art. Moffett finds inspiration in artists such as Hans Hoffman, Frankenthaler, Rothko, Mel Rozen, Frank Stella, Doug Fordyce, and de Kooning. Moffett is a licensed funeral director and embalmer, working for various Central Ohio funeral homes and surrounding states. He is a member of various organizations including the Couchfire Collective, Ohio Art League, Capital City Pipe and Drums, and the Ohio Funeral Directors Association. Open 7 days.
