The contributions and work of the art & design faculty at Ohio Northern University will open Friday, June 3 at the Elzay Gallery of Art during ONU’s Alumni Weekend. The exhibit, “Contribution: A&D Faculty Retrospective,” will be on display June 3–17, 2011. The exhibition coincides with the department’s celebration of its 50th anniversary of the BA degree in art.
