Join Andrew Richmond and Hollie Davis, curators of the Heartland: The Stories of Ohio Through 250 Objects exhibition on display at the Decorative Arts Center of Ohio from January 31 to April 26, 2026, as they discuss the current exhibition and the curatorial process of selecting objects to tell the story of Ohio.
About the Exhibit:
Heartland: The Stories of Ohio Through 250 Objects, curated by Andrew Richmond and Hollie Davis, is on display at the Decorative Arts Center of Ohio from January 31 - April 26, 2026.
As America marks 250 years, Heartland: The Stories of Ohio Through 250 Objects explores the state’s own rich history through a carefully curated selection of art, textiles, household objects, ephemera, and more.
Each piece tells a story, collectively weaving together landmark events with lesser-known tales of people, places, and ideas that shaped Ohio’s spirit and helped define it as the heart of the nation.

Bexley Public Library was founded in 1924 and first housed in Bexley High School, now Montrose Elementary School. The present building opened in 1929 and was designed by architects O.C. Miller and R.R. Reeves who drew upon French and Italian architecture from the 17th century for the design.
The library is located at 2411 East Main Street, at the intersection of East Main Street and Cassady Avenue. Parking is available in our parking lot on Euclaire Avenue and in front of the library on Main Street. Main Street is a No Parking Tow Zone from 4:00-6:00 p.m. weekdays.
