Upcoming Exhibitions
Past Present
February 11 - March 22, 2025
Reception | February 13, 2025, 5 PM
In the tradition of art making, studying historic artworks has been used as a teaching
tool to help students see and think like an artist. Past Present features student artworks that respond to the OSU Museum of Art’s collection. The
purpose of this project is not to create a replica of a historic work, but to study,
explore, and learn. The experience exposes students to distinct points of view, techniques,
and processes, and compels young artists to work outside of their comfort zone.

Founded in 1987, the Oklahoma State University’s Cimarron National Works on Paper
is a juried exhibition that has been held biennially in the Department of Art, Graphic
Design, and Art History’s Gardiner Gallery of Art from 1987 to 1995, with resurgences
in 2019 and 2021.
2025 marks the first year the exhibition will be hosted by the Oklahoma State University
Museum of Art. The Cimarron National Works on Paper is a testament to the history
of printmaking at OSU, our current educational initiatives, the diverse holdings of
works on paper in the OSU Museum of Art’s collection, and an expression of OSU's enduring
commitment to works on paper and contemporary practice.
