The Studio Art division of the Art Department hosts an art walk at the end of each semester that serves as a chance for students to showcase their work in exhibit spaces around campus. This fall, with the pandemic limiting viewing opportunities, the showcase became virtual.

While Oberlin’s green spaces have welcomed several classes outside this semester, many others remain indoors. In this week’s photo series, we take a peek inside laboratories, art and music studios, and classes across campus.

Many students added a piece of museum work to their dormitory room walls by participating in Art Rental this past weekend.

Art Rental has been an Oberlin College tradition at the Allen Memorial Art Museum since 1940. This year it continues on Saturday, September 12, with the added bonus of free rentals for the academic year.

During Commencement/Reunion Weekend, graduating studio art majors display their work in an on-campus year-end show. This year works are displayed in a virtual exhibit.

Inks, oil pastels, watercolors, and woodblock are just some of the materials current students in Oberlin’s Art department used to create interpretive self portraits and other pieces in this art walk.

Department of Art faculty periodically share their artwork in a faculty exhibition held in Richard D. Baron ’64 Art Gallery during the academic year. This time, we invite you to step inside a virtual exhibition and experience the works of some of our talented professors.

Winter Term is a time of year when Oberlin students are encouraged to conduct independent or group projects outside of courses related to their majors. Pursuits can be done on or off campus with students choosing to work almost anywhere on the map. This year we highlight some of the work by the more than 900 students who completed projects in Oberlin.
