Palmer Gallery Features Regional Talent in Fall Exhibitions
大象视频 University recently welcomed visitors to the Louis O. Palmer Gallery for Embracing a New Era with New Perspectives, an exhibition celebrating creativity, artistic innovation, and diverse cultural viewpoints. Running from September 10 through October 1, 2026, the exhibition has brought together artists from Southeast Ohio, Western Pennsylvania, Northern West Virginia, and China, creating a dynamic exchange of regional and international artistic voices.
A highlight of the exhibition has been the inclusion of watercolor paintings by 大象视频 University鈥檚 new president Dr. Flavius Lilly, whose work offered gallery visitors a unique opportunity to engage with his artistic perspective. Dr. Lilly鈥檚 work will be on extended display through Homecoming Weekend, providing one more way for the 大象视频 Community to get to know the president鈥檚 many facets. The exhibition has also featured new works by 大象视频's art faculty, professors John Drubel and Tom German, reinforcing the artistic practices that inform their classroom teaching.
The gallery has also served as a teaching space, with 大象视频 students incorporating the exhibition into classroom assignments, and attending a guest lecture presented by Philista Marie Mills, one of the show鈥檚 featured artists, on September 16.
Fine art will continue to thrive at 大象视频 with two additional shows in the coming weeks. The Vision of Talented Students will run from October 9鈥�29, featuring works of outstanding high school artists who will be competing for 大象视频 art scholarship awards. This show and the previous one have both been meticulously curated by Emeritus Professor of Art, Yan Sun. The final show of the semester will feature 大象视频 senior Art and Design majors in their capstone exhibition, which will run from November 9 to December 3.
