12 to 1pm
Join Wright State University's Professor Flach and graduate student

What's happening to the inner climate?
|
Thursday, December 17th
5 to 7pm
We've been keeping one eye on COP15
, the UN conference on global climate change, taking place in
Copenhagen Dec 7-18, and wondering what its outcome might mean for
the planet. We've decided to take action by teaming up with Art of Hosting Conversations that Matter and presenting the opportunity to discuss climate change.
What relation do you see between the inner climate and outer climate change?
What change in the inner climate would help us to imagine a sustainable future?
What story about sustainability are we learning to tell?
Please RSVP to livingston.28@osu.edu by Tuesday 12/15 so that we can arrange our space appropriately.

Tactile Color
October 6th, 2009 through February 6th, 2010
|
Tactile Color showcases the artwork of SallyB, who creates
touchable fabric interpretations of master works, bringing the
two-dimensional art world directly into the hands of the viewer. The
project began as a way to bring significant artworks to the blind or
those with low vision, but has become a genuine example of universal
design and a wonderful experience for everyone.
On display are several of SallyB's pieces, including
interpretations of Van Gogh, Joan Miró, and Franz Marc. Viewers are
free to explore the works alone or with a guided tour.
