How can creativity help to build community?
Gathering Currents brings together the creative work of Otterbein faculty & staff artists, whose practices carry stories, questions, and imagery across multiple disciplines and media. Visitors are invited to explore the work in this exhibition as both creative expressions of individuals and as currents that gather and shape our community.
