Fall 2025 Exhibit Reception

Join us for a free reception celebrating our newest exhibit, "Home Free: Ohio Artists Envision Prison Abolition," along with two new student exhibits from the Myers School of Art.

"Home Free" features works by currently or formerly incarcerated artists, each with their own artistic voice and lived experience. Some offer critique and challenge us to confront our own limited narratives, while others depict the visual language of the carceral landscape. Home Free is a touring exhibit presented by the Returning Artists Guild, an abolitionist guild of directly impacted practicing artists across Ohio, and beyond.

Light refreshments will be offered during the event, and all attendees will receive free admission to the Institute galleries. Please RSVP for this free event.
