OU-C students, faculty members visit Akron Art Museum exhibit

Art students from Ohio University-Chillicothe traveled to the Akron Art Museum on Friday, March 5 with art Professors Margaret McAdams and Dennis Deane to see the "Pattern ID" exhibition. The art in the exhibition is highly explosive and pattern-oriented, McAdams noted. The 15 contemporary artists from around the world evoke themes of Identity, politics, globalization, and art history in their works.

"When a cutting edge show by current day artists is within driving distance of Chillicothe, I like to take a group of art students. This show includes artists as young as 30 from the United States and around the world. Much of the art is large scale incorporating non-traditional materials and methods. Seeing work like this will inspire our students to broaden their art making approaches,” McAdams said.
