Athena Art Society: Fall Juried Art Exhibition

Athena Art Society: Fall Juried Art Exhibition

October 31 – December 13, 2024

One of the oldest women’s art organizations in the country, the Athena Art Society Inc. began in 1903 to assist and encourage women in all branches of the Fine Arts. Athena continues to promote and develop the visual arts and stimulate community participation.

As a 501(c)(3) non-profit, we also provide local art awards, host juried and non-juried member exhibitions, and support other arts organizations through leadership and partnerships.

As membership is by invitation only, some of the area’s best-known women artists have proudly participated in the Athena Art Society.

About the Walter E. Terhune Gallery

The 1,300-square-foot Gallery is part of the Center for Fine and Performing Arts. It is committed to exhibiting diverse, vibrant visual arts created by faculty, students and community members, and to embedding arts programming within the curriculum.

The Walter E. Terhune Art Gallery also hosts the annual Artist in Residence Program during the summer months.

Exhibits at the Gallery – both in the main exhibit space and along the outside wall – have spanned a wide range of media and styles, from traditional art to interactive, multi-media installations.

The Gallery is named on behalf of Walter E. Terhune, following a donation in 2003 to the Owens Community College Foundation from KeyBank’s Terhune Memorial Fund.

Established in 1926, the Walter E. Terhune Memorial Fund was created by Mr. Terhune’s daughter, Alice Crosby Terhune, to honor her father who was a longtime Toledo businessman and philanthropist.

Mr. Terhune was an owner and officer of Clark and Terhune Lumber Merchants, a successful lumber company in the 1800s.
