ACCESSIBILITYWe strive to host inclusive, accessible events that enable all individuals, including individuals with disabilities, to engage fully. If you have questions about accessibility or require an accommodation such as CART captioning or ASL interpretation to participate in this event, please email accessibility@wexarts.org or call (614) 688-3890. Requests made by two weeks in advance will generally allow us to provide seamless access, but the Wexner Center for the Arts will make every effort to meet requests made after this date.
Students, staff, faculty, and their friends and family are invited to drop in for our free, informal welcome back to campus!
Everyone is welcome to participate in what’s happening at the Wex. Join us for music, talks with exhibiting artists, gallery experiences with educators, and a screening of the film Gabbeh—just a taste of what we offer year-round. You can also participate in hands-on art making, including a workshop on creating natural dyes that will deepen your connections to the featured exhibitions and film.
Hang out and relax with some free snacks and beverages. Stop by the Learning & Public Practice department’s welcome table to learn about the day’s offerings, enter a giveaway for books and swag, and hear more about what else the Wex offers throughout the year.
The Wex is the place to encounter the art and issues of our time in a welcoming and inclusive environment. Stop by and see what we are all about.
