If you need proof that not every cool art event takes place on the east or west coast, you’ll definitely want to visit Ohio’s Mazza Museum Lea Gallery on the campus of the University of Findlay for the “Enchanted Brush” exhibition. Curated by the multi-talented Dan Chudzinski, the show features works—many of which are for sale—by 14 artists exploring jungle-themed stories and runs until August 5. You can read a little more about it here and see a handful of the pieces below.
