Buckeye Love is a university-wide initiative that honors kindness, care, and the sense of community we share. The Wexner Center for the Arts invites you to join in the spirit of the week, connecting with friends and colleagues while enjoying events and activities created for our Ohio State family. Stop by and experience the Buckeye Love!

Mon, Feb 10
Craft Some Care (and Valentines) with the Art & Resilience Student Organization
Lower Lobby | 2–4 PM

Members of our Art & Resilience (A&R) student group will be your hosts as you create Valentine’s Day or greeting cards for a special someone in your life. We will have a range of materials on hand for this free-form, drop-in studio experience. A&R is partnering with our friends from Ohio State’s Student Wellness Center and SARNCO (Sexual Assault Response Network of Central Ohio) to provide resources and create caring messages for the students who they support. Make cards to take home and, if you like, leave one for us to deliver and brighten someone’s day. 
 
The A&R student group (@osuartandresilience) is an Ohio State student organization anchored at the Wex. The group is open to all Ohio State students and explores how art can build personal and collective well-being through community healing, healthy social connection, and social justice.

Fri, Feb 14
