The Ohio Arts Council's Riffe Gallery presents Earthy Delights, an exhibition of contemporary photography by 15 Ohio artists, on view August 4 - October 9, 2016. Curated by Kenyon College Professor Marcella Hackbardt, Earthy Delights features Earth's varied textures and places, as well as imagery inspired by it. Artists' methods vary from traditional analog to digital; they utilize new tools like social media and virtual reality.

"Throughout the exhibition there are multiple references to human presence and needs, from footprints to shelter, and a responsibility to truly comprehend the notion that we are part of the Earth, an Earth that gives us life and delight," Hackbardt stated.

These artworks showcase a variety of photographic processes, employ great technical skill, and also explore relationships in their themes-particularly of humans and Earth.
