Encounter groundbreaking work and fresh ideas from established and emerging visual artists—plus stories from across the arts community—on wexarts.org.

Here you'll find talks, tours, and studio visits featuring Wex curators and exhibiting artists; conversations with critics and scholars exploring the state of the arts today; plus updates on artists supported by our robust residency programs. You'll also find works from The Box, our dedicated video exhibition series, available to stream right to your desktop or mobile device.

The Wexner Center’s exterior features crenellated, castle-like brick towers and contrastingly spare modular core with a projecting grid-like metal framework.
