The Kennedy Museum of Art also has put its permanent collections on display and is asking for feedback.
The new exhibit displays a wide cross-section of works representing the individual collections within the museum's holdings. Weavings, prints, ceramics, photographs, paintings, mixed media and jewelry infusing American, African and Native American cultures are among the offerings in the show.
Through May, visitors are encouraged to submit their personal interpretations of select pieces online.
"In acknowledging this year's theme of citizenship in the College of Fine Arts, part of being a productive citizen is participation," Pauley said. "Why not let our public participate when it comes to interpreting works of art. It also lets us know what visitors get out of their experience at the museum."
To contribute interpretations to the museum's blog, it is recommended that visitors view the entire exhibition. Works selected for public interpretation are notated with a symbol on the label. All respectful points of view are welcome.
The exhibition will be ongoing, with works being changed periodically so that additional works from the museum's collections may be display.
Museum hours are Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, 12 to 5 p.m.; Thursday from 12 to 8 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. The museum is closed on Mondays and holidays. Parking and admission are free. Visit www.ohio.edu/museum for more information.
