Yes, the Senior Fine Art Majors exhibition "Marks Made" opened April 13th with a great reception. The Seniors welcomed their friends and family and shared their accomplishments from the past 4 years here at Ohio Wesleyan.

The exhibit will remain open until Sunday, May 12th. We'll close at about noon that day for Commencement and re-open the 17th with a brand new show. Be sure to stop in and see the wonderful work our seniors have on display.

....With Stops In Between is the title of the newest exhibit at the Ross! We re-opened today after a long winter break. So stop in, and greet the new year with new art!

Barry Gunderson is a Kenyon professor, and has created a vast amount of sculptures in several media. We are displaying 5 different series of work, so there is sure to be something that speaks to you!

Barry will be giving an illustrated talk on Thursday, January 17 at 3:15pm in Edgar Hall (across the street from the museum) then we will fete him in the Ross Museum from 4-6:00pm. Both events are free and open to all!

Fabulous Lithographs

Justin has been talking about this exhibit for what seems like 6 years, and it is finally here!

The Tamarind Institute in New Mexico has sent us the Touchstones lithography show, celebrating Excellence in Fine Art Lithography. 61 prints by 61 artists are on view, with a wide range of subjects and styles.

The exhibit will be open until December 20th, normal museum hours (with the exception of Thanksgiving day) and there will be a Gallery Talk by master printer Bill Lagattuta followed by a reception on Thursday, October 25th at 3:15pm. Free to all, as always!

Wonderland in Beeghly Library

Yellowstone National Park has been the subject of artists for more than 100 years. Photographer Carter Gowl shares his lush images of the Park and surrounding area in the newest exhibit on view in Gallery 2001 in Beeghly Library.

Carter will be on campus to give an illustrated talk on Tuesday, October 9th at 4:15 in the Bayley Room (2nd floor) of Beeghly Library. The talk will be followed by a reception in Gallery 2001. Both the talk and the reception are free and open to all.

Wonderland will remain on view until October 16, 2012.

Full of Grace means full museum

The first exhibit of the Fall Semester in the Ross Museum is Full of Grace, featuring the history of children in photography, from the 1800's to modern day. Over 170 images plus numerous quotations are arranged in the museum, and that's just a fraction of the many photographs assembled by curator Ray Merritt. His book of the same name is also on display and available for purchase, and since the exhibit is free as always, make it a point to see this exhibition.

Summertime, and we've got air conditioning!

Although the Ross Museum will be closed until August 23rd, there are 2 other great exhibits open on campus:

Louise Captein, The Remarkable Suppleness of Shapes, is on view in Beeghly Library in the Gallery 2001 space (right when you walk in the doors). Louise makes postcard sized paper collages, then creates large oil paintings from them. Both the paintings AND the original small collages are on display until September 20th.

Lorraine Torrence, Checkerboard Musings, is on view in Mowry Alumni Center (directly across from Beeghly Library) until September 16th, and features art quilts. Lorraine is an OWU alumna, and teaches extensively around the country.

So beat the heat, and check out some free art exhibits!
