Dope Poetry Night at the Ice Event Center Bar and Grill is every Wednesday night, hosted by PraVurb, J. Wiggins, and DJ D. Chappell.
Show starts at 7:30 pm; Sign-ups begin at 7 pm, and the show begins at 8 pm. First 20 poets.

Come experience a place where you can be unapologetically you, a place where your voice and presence matter, a place where you’re accepted and loved, where smiles, laughter, thoughts, and feelings are shared, and it’s all free.

The OSU Museum of Art presents "step across this line," an exhibition that explores how borders shape lives, identities, and histories. Through photography, video, printmaking, and painting, artists in this exhibition respond to the physical, political, and emotional experiences of migration. "step across this line" encourages viewers to reflect on their relationship to borders. It invites you to step across the line and be transformed.
