Art & Environment Winter/Spring 2011

"I walked out of every class with an interesting new perspective to consider…. This truly has been an innovative learning experience that cannot be found in any traditional learning environment."—Emily Ewing, Art & Environment student, 2010

Are you eco-conscious and interested in contemporary art? Are you in 11th or 12th grade and want the chance to learn more about the intersections of art and environmental protection at The Ohio State University? Think about coming to the Wexner Center Wednesday afternoons to explore contemporary art and see how artists, scientists, and activists are working together to protect our natural environment. Students get to meet and interview contemporary artists involved in Wexner Center projects and take field trips to environmental research and service sites around Columbus and further afield. Students even have the opportunity to exhibit their final artwork at the center in late May/early June.

Art & Environment is open to high school juniors and seniors in central Ohio. The course is free to those admitted and comes with transportation assistance, free books, and supplies. High school course credit is arranged with individual school systems.

Applications are being accepted through January 18 or until all all places are filled.
