Dayton photographer and printmaker Francis Schanberger has been selected to create the 2011 Governor’s Awards for the Arts in Ohio from his “Forces of Nature” collection.

A native of Philadelphia who has lived in Dayton since 2005, Schanberger’s distinctive work draws upon his backgrounds in art and science. Before earning an MFA in photography and digital imaging, he received a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry and cell biology.

The annual Governor’s Awards will take place at noon Wednesday, May 12, at the Columbus Athenaeum, 32. N. Fourth St.

Among the seven statewide winners are Michael Kenwood Lippert from Dayton, who will be honored in the arts education category, and the law firm of Freund, Freeze & Arnold of Dayton, business support for the arts.

Reservations for the awards and Arts Day Luncheon can be made online at www.oac.ohio.gov. Tickets are $50 and include lunch and a dessert reception. All proceeds go to the Ohio Citizens for the Arts Foundation. Deadline for registration is Monday, April 11, 2011. Seating is limited.
