A display of artwork by Studio Art seniors is shown to President Carmen Twillie Ambar. Her walk through Robert D. Baron ’64 Art Gallery was accented by sculptures and vibrant multimedia pieces. This visit is just one of the images featured in this week’s photo series.

In this week’s photo series, a half-time show awaits at Baron Gallery, quill pens are brought into the 21st century, the virtual world of the Allen Memorial Art Museum beckons, faculty give a recital in Warner Concert Hall, the best seat in the house at Finney Chapel awaits for an evening honors piano recital, and tranquility is found at a newly installed pond in downtown Oberlin.
