Senior artists and graphic designers from Bluffton University will showcase their most prominent work in a combined exhibit called “Uncovered Perspectives.”
Berlin Fuqua, Ada; Autumn Graves, Mount Blanchard; and Sarah Heydinger, Tiro; will have work on display. The exhibit opens March 15 and runs through April 10 in the Grace Albrecht Gallery of Bluffton University’s Sauder Visual Arts Center for faculty, staff and students to view.
Since campus remains closed to visitors, off-campus guests can watch a pre-recorded artist talk and view the exhibit virtually starting on Monday, March 22, at www.bluffton.edu/artgallery.

FROM BLUFFTON ICON - My name is June Fields and I live near Bluffton and come into town often to shop, bank, eat or volunteer at the Et Cetera Shop, so you may have seen me out and about.
Ada High School senior, Megan Light, is the recipient of a $1,600 Mid-Ohio Energy Cooperative scholarship.
She was the third place winner in this year's competition.
She is among eight seniors covering Mid-Ohio’s 10 north-central Ohio counties and 25 local school districts, who received a scholarship. One other area student, Rosemary Carman, an Allen East senior, is an $1,800 scholarship recipient, finishing in second place.
The Icon recently caught up with Bailey Bowers, a 2013 Ada High School graduate now at Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh. We are sharing parts of our conversation with Icon viewers.
After you graduated from College of Wooster, we lost track of you. Please bring us up to date.
I'm currently attending Carnegie Mellon University to obtain my PhD in Chemistry. I’m aiming to defend my thesis in August 2022, which simultaneously feels very far off and panic-inducingly soon.
