ASHLAND Jarrod Hartzler, executive director for the Ohio Alliance for Arts Education, and Donna Collins, executive director for the Ohio Arts Council, hope Ashland High School’s Fine Arts Signing Day catches on with other schools across the area.
They both attended Wednesday’s event at AHS where 14 seniors signed “non-binding” forms stating they will pursue fine arts careers after high school. Another senior, Maiyah Lewis, plans to do the same but couldn’t attend because she was competing in a softball game. Pursuing that passion helps them through their life and it makes them well-rounded individuals,” Hartzler said.

MANSFIELD - Jane Johnson knows a thing or two about being an artist.
Her interest in the visual arts began at a very early age and continued through high school and onto college. She received a bachelor of fine arts degree from the Columbus College of Art and Design in 1974.
All through her adult life Jane has been able to pursue her dream of creating visual art, entering exhibitions and winning awards. Her exhibition is aptly titled “Feel What I See: Painting for Connection” and runs through May 15 in the new REACH Gallery.
