Diversity focus of BGSU art showcase January 18-22

Celebrating diversity in all its forms, Bowling Green State University will hold “The Art of Diversity: An Introspective Journey to Belonging” Tuesday, January 18 through Saturday, January 22.

The first-ever arts showcase will engage the community through reflective works that highlight artists’ take on diversity in their lives.

Hosted by the BGSU division of diversity and belonging, honors college learning center and fine arts center galleries, the virtual and in-person showcase will feature visual and performance art from artists in Wood, Lucas and Erie counties, including kindergarten through high school students, community members, and BGSU students, faculty and staff.

The public is invited to attend a free in-person gallery highlighting visual arts winners in the Wankelman Gallery at the BGSU School of Art. BGSU requires face coverings for everyone, regardless of vaccination status, in indoor public settings on its campuses. Unvaccinated individuals should wear face coverings whenever they are around others on campus, both indoors and outdoors.

Winning performance arts submissions will be available for viewing on the Art of Diversity page on BGSU.edu.
