The OSU Library and the OSU Center for the Humanities are collaborating with Les Enluminures (New York, Chicago, and Paris) to bring nine medieval manuscripts to the OSU campus for the spring 2023 semester. The intent is for students and scholars to be able to view real manuscripts in person as well as to develop research or course assignments related to the texts.

"Tradition Interrupted" is an international group exhibition that explores the methods used by artists to conflate contemporary ideas with traditional art and craft in a range of media, from rugs and mosaics to metalwork and ceramics. The artists merge age-old media and techniques with innovation, and re-vision culturally historic ideas to create new work that interrupt traditional practice but still collaborates with the past. For generations, traditional craft and art practices held steadfast and often visually defined a culture. Today, artists are unraveling certain traits and facets of these ancient customs to redefine or reclaim them for the contemporary world. For many of the artists in this exhibition, everyday objects are sources of powerful agency to recall memories in danger of being forgotten, or to call into question revisionist histories.This exhibition was organized by Bedford Gallery at the Lesher Center for the Arts, Walnut Creek, CA.
On view at the OSU Museum of Art in Stillwater, OK from January 17 - April 1, 2023.
The OSU Museum of Art is free and open to the public Tuesday - Saturday, 11 AM - 4 PM with extended hours through 7 PM on Thursdays.
Funding for this season of programming is provided through the generous support of Deb and Dave Engle, Caroline and John Linehan, Suzanne Sugg, the OSU President’s Office | OSU Foundation, Thomas N. Berry & Company, and the OSU Museum of Art Advocates.
Throughout the ages, artists have honed their own artistic voices by studying and even recreating the work of others. This spring, the OSU Museum of Art celebrates this tradition with Painting Influencers: art inspires art. The exhibition takes form in two parts – the first consists of permanent-collection works handpicked by Assistant Professor Molly Kaderka. The second features students’ interpretations and creations alongside their permanent-collection influencers.
Artists of all ages and abilities are invited to grab their sketchbooks, head to the museum, and discover the inspirational power of art.

Starting January 12 through February 5, come check out the latest show from the Homeless Alliance's Fresh StART program at DNA Galleries in the Plaza District. This show is free and open to the public.
Fresh stART is an open-studio art program designed to provide people experiencing homelessness in Oklahoma City with a supportive environment for creating art. It operates twice a week at our Day Shelter. This program allows participants to express their creativity, manage emotional issues, develop social skills, and engage with others in a positive environment. The Homeless Alliance relies on donations of art supplies from the community to run the Fresh Start program.
You can see these beautiful and thought-provoking works and even purchase one for your home or office at the current show. Participating artists receive the proceeds from the sale of their artwork – which puts money in their pocket while boosting their confidence. Your support helps show them that their ideas matter!
Donations can be made to Fresh stART on our website at www.HomelessAlliance.org .
