ONU alumni earn awards at Wassenberg Art Center exhibit

The works of Ohio Northern University’s art and design alumni were recently selected for exhibit and earned awards at the 59th Annual June Art Exhibit at the Wassenberg Art Center located in Van Wert.

The exhibit originated with founding art club members and continues today, featuring about 80 pieces of original art by artists from the tri-state region. Today, the art center has grown to hold one of northwest Ohio’s best juried art exhibits, with a reputation for high quality of work.
