Juried Student Art Exhibition
Each year the Art Department sponsors the juried student art exhibition. Juried by an art professional from outside Otterbein College, the exhibition provides all art students with an exhibition opportunity. The presentation of artwork for exhibition is discussed and demonstrated in special workshops prior to the exhibition. The juror selects work to be shown and exceptional pieces to receive awards including College Purchase Awards.

Senior Exhibitions
Students install their artwork in Dunlap Gallery in two and three person exhibitions and also present gallery talks during their exhibitions.

Student Art Organization
The Student Art Organization selects and plans student-generated activities such as trips to galleries and museums and student art sales

Starving Artists
This organization promotes the appreciation and education of art throughout the Otterbein community as well as to promote and develop the artwork of Otterbein art students. To fulfill their mission, Starving Artists offers an open membership to any person at Otterbein who is interested in promoting and developing a self-awareness of art. This is done through many yearly activities that include trips to local museums, exhibitions of student artwork both on and off campus, and community outreach programs with area schools. The organization meets biweekly each quarter of the academic year, the first meeting is held the first week of regular class sessions.
