OI Events: Exhibits

Listening Through the Lens: The Musical Portraits of George J. Kossuth – on display May 30 – September 2 at the Mansion Museum, Oglebay.

Open daily, 10am-5pm, beginning May 30. Free with admission.

Presented in conjunction with Wheeling 250.

About George J. Kossuth:

Born in 1886 and the child of Hungarian immigrants, George J. Kossuth was a self-made man of accomplishment.

A master of the arts and humanities – photography, music, art, the written word, theater, gardening, wood-working and restoration, his work is interwoven with the history of Wheeling.

Kossuth’s extraordinary portraits immortalize internationally-renowned musicians, singers, composers and conductors who visited Wheeling, while his 1219 Chapline Street studio was a haven for the music world in the early-mid 1900s. These portraits also became a sort of “diary” of Kossuth’s own personal influences, aspirations and interests that capture the inner personality and qualities of his subjects.

In addition to his ardent support of musicians and bringing world-class music to Wheeling, Kossuth had a fine baritone voice and enjoyed singing.

Naturally, Kossuth became a leading force in Wheeling institutions including WWVA, Blue Pencil Club, Wheeling Rotary Club, Wheeling’s Civic Music Association, Fort Henry Club, Twilight Club, Wheeling Little Theatre and Oglebay Institute.

His nearly fifty-year career contributed to the cultural movement in the community andleft a legacy that is still felt today.

“Once Upon An Enchanted Rainbow Forest”

“Once Upon An Enchanted Rainbow Forest” features work by mixed-media artist Christybomb and illustrator Staci Leech-Cornell.

About Christybomb
Christy Lee, better known as Christybomb, is a visual artist based out of New York City and Charleston, WV. Her friends gave her the “Christybomb” moniker because of the energy and vivaciousness embodied within her art.

Her artistic creations draw inspiration from the happiness, innocence and youthful fantasies of her childhood, like Candyland, Hello Kitty and Willy Wonka. At the same time, over-the-top trends and looks of avant-garde fashion, cosplay and drag queens influence her work.

In reaction to the monotony and shortcomings of conventional painting, she incorporates unconventional materials into her work such as string, rope, yarn, wire, pipe cleaners, plastic straws and Swarovski crystals. She then further embellishes all of that with flashes and accents of glitter, pom-poms, googly eyes, beads, sequins, broken glass and metal spikes, among other ingredients.

About Staci Leech-Cornell
West Virginia fine artist and illustrator Staci Leech-Cornell was raised in Greenbrier Co., WV where she grew to love her family’s’ incredible collections of ceramic birds and other nick-knacks. She expresses that love through her drawings, paper works, and gouache paintings. Staci comes from a family of creative people and has been creating and drawing since she was very small. Her past and present fascination with birds and the whimsy of wildlife are deeply rooted.

The Gallery at Towngate

Towngate Theatre is well known in Wheeling and its surrounding communities for community theater productions, children’s theater, concerts, ballet, film screenings, spoken word and other performing arts events. But did you know that Towngate is also an art gallery? The theater lobby is now home to changing art exhibits.

“The Gallery at Towngate” is an extension of the exhibit season hosted by Oglebay Institute’s Stifel Fine Art Center. This second gallery space provides opportunities for artists to do solo exhibitions without having to fill a space as large as the Stifel Fine Arts Center. The gallery space also enhances the visitor experience for those attending performing arts events at Towngate.
