For generations, artists have learned by looking closely—studying the work of those who came before them to better understand how art is made and how ideas take shape.

This exhibition highlights OSU student creations inspired by pieces from the OSU Museum of Art’s permanent collection. Rather than copying historic works, students use them as starting points for practice and experimentation. The project invites them to interpret, question, and reimagine, gaining new insights into artistic methods and perspectives while expanding their own boundaries.

Dates: February 24 - April 18, 2026

Reception: April 17, from 5-6:30 p.m.

Location: OSU Museum of Art
