As part of the University Libraries Gallery Series for the 2025-26 academic year, there will be an Employee Art Exhibition from October 27 to December 12. This exhibition showcases the creativity of university employees, with artwork juried by staff members from the University Libraries.
Employees can submit up to three original pieces in various forms, such as paintings, drawings, photography, sculpture, pottery, glass, and mixed media. The submissions must be made through the Employee Art Showcase form by September 29. Notably, both direct University employees and those working for partners, like Chartwells or ParkUToledo, are welcome to participate.
Art enhances workplace culture and fosters community among employees. According to a study by the Americans for the Arts, organizations that engage in art programs experience increased creativity and collaboration among their teams. This exhibition is a chance for employees to express themselves and share their talents.
