Situated between Orton Hall and Mirror Lake, Ohio State’s Faculty Club is more than just a place for staffers to congregate.

The Faculty Club’s art program, which has been in operation for more than 30 years, routinely displays works from notable artists with ties to Ohio State, as stated on the club’s website. An exhibition of oil paintings titled “Strokes of Color” by Janet Grissom is the program’s current offering and will be on view until Dec. 19, according to a Faculty Club press release.

“I hope somehow their day and their lives are enriched by what they see,” Benve said. “A lot of people come in without expecting artwork and beautiful art on the wall, or like an art exhibit. And when they see it you can tell they’re like, ‘Wow,’ and they spend time looking at it, and that’s really why we do this.’”
