Spend a winter evening connecting with friends and making something creative at our February First Thursday!

This month’s lineup includes a Community Studio art-making session. You can also grab a snack and beverage in Heirloom Café and peruse the Wexner Center Store for the latest selection of books, gifts, and goodies. Ohio State students get an additional 20% off in the store during First Thursday events. Check in and scan your BuckID to get the most out of the Wex!

See the program schedule below. Return to the Wex next month to explore contemporary art and culture through multidisciplinary experiences!
