Our Exhibitions and Programming:
The Ross Art Museum strives to exhibit diverse, emerging and established artists for our OWU family and community. Exhibits rotate in alignment with the academic calendar. We proudly support the creativity and vitality of the arts in the state of Ohio and beyond.
Every year, our curatorial focus centers on specific issues impacting our students and community. Our goal is to foster discussion, learning, and shared discovery. During the 2026-27 academic year, the Ross Art Museum will include exhibitions examining the complex issues surrounding communication, surveillance, and democracy.
Ardine Nelson: City Center
October 13 - December 18
Columbus's short-lived City Center Mall is the subject of Ardine Nelson's photographic series of the same name. Operating from 1989 to 2009 before its demolition, the mall was intended to revitalize the downtown urban core but was plagued by challenges almost from the outset. Nelson's photographs explore the limits of capitalism and consumer culture.
