With commencement less than four weeks away, art students want to have one final say through their artwork before they leave Ohio State.

The work of 44 undergraduates is included in the Department of Art’s exhibition of its Bachelor of Fine Art senior projects.

Rebecca Harvey, interim chair and professor in the Department of Art, said the exhibition is a chance for students to display what they have learned.

“Art gains power from being visible. That’s what sets up the dialogue and connection with the world,” she said. “It makes perfect sense that the culmination of the degree is this very important, very significant public exhibition.”
