This year s Ohio State University’s annual Fergus Scholarship Award Exhibition has moved online for the first time in its 29 years, and the result is a study in diversity.
The exhibit awarding 20 full-time OSU undergraduate and graduate visual-arts students $1,000 showcases the chosen artworks, along with artist statements, through Feb. 7. It is available at the website of OSU s Urban Art Space, uas.osu.edu.

But even when we gather together, Fauci said that we might be wearing masks for some time.
