Join us from 5-7 p.m. April 13 for the opening reception for the annual Fine Arts graduating senior exhibit, "Grounded," featuring juried works by nine members of the OWU Class of 2024, and "Restore," a collection of newly conserved masterworks, at the Richard M. Ross Art Museum, 60 S. Sandusky St., Delaware.
"Grounded" will be on display through May 10, with the seniors earning their OWU diplomas on May 11. The pieces represent the best of their works created as Ohio Wesleyan students.
"Restore" is an unveiling of 31 newly conserved pieces in the museum's permanent teaching collection. The artworks have been cleaned and restored by the ICA–Art Conservation (originally known as Intermuseum Conservation Association) in Cleveland through a 2021 Inspire! grant from the Institute for Museum and Library Services. Learn about the restoration process and see work by artists who have contributed to major movements in Western art history such as Francisco Goya, Käthe Kollowitz, Jack Levine, Roy Lichtenstein, Joan Miro, Rene Magritte, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, and more.
During the academic year, the Ross is open Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Thursday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.; and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. The Ross is handicap-accessible and admission is always free. Call (740) 368-3606 or visit owu.edu/ross for more information.
