The Department of Art at The Ohio State University is broad-based, both discipline intensive and boundary pushing, a modern laboratory in which to create and explore art and ideas. Established on a foundation of comprehensive artistic visualization, we strive to be at the forefront of developments in contemporary aesthetic thought, and practice.

The department serves as a place where students and faculty can experiment with material and content and where a diverse audience can take part in our exhibitions, public lectures, and educational programming.  Our programs have a fierce commitment to purposeful connection that firmly aligns with the university's mission of education, research, and service.
