Each spring, the OSU Library honors OSU employees and students who have authored, co-authored or edited a book or published a major creative work such as musical composition, art exhibit catalog or audio recording in the past two years.

The purpose of Celebrating Books by OSU Authors is to recognize and honor these individuals' achievements, encourage academic dialogue and ensure that works by OSU authors are available to the University community by adding these pieces to the OSU Library's collection.

Dr. Louise Siddons and Cassidy Petrazzi, Gardiner Gallery of Art Manager, were interviewed for the Cimaron National Works on Paper 2019 Catalog. Watch the interview using the link below.

 Celebrating Books Interview

A new exhibit will be opening March 1, 2021, in the OCU Norick Art Center Nona Jean Hulsey Gallery. This exhibition, Dean Bloodgood: 70 Years of Painting, celebrates the accomplishments of Oklahoma artist and educator Dean Bloodgood, whose evolving artistic career spans over seven decades. Working in a variety of media, Bloodgood is a true painter’s painter – an artist who explores and returns to various motifs and themes over the course of his career, displaying the breadth, progression, and evolution of his oeuvre.

Roundtable Registration

Andy Mattern joined the Department of Art, Graphic Design and Art History as the first faculty member in photography in over 20 years. He had to build the program from the ground up; he designed new courses, completed multiple course action forms, purchased new equipment, and reconfigured existing studio spaces. Additionally, he is an outstanding teacher. His students admire his high level of research, which they find inspirational. He curates student shows, encourages students to go to conferences and submit their work to juried exhibitions, and he supports their applications to highly competitive MFA programs.

Art history professor Shaoqian Zhang was originally scheduled to present her paper at the international conference “The Multidisciplinary Grid 2020” at Holon Institute of Technology, Israel, May 12-13, 2020.  Later the conference was moved to a virtual platform and is scheduled to take place on Nov 23, 2020.  Prof. Zhang's paper, "Centrifugal versus Processional: Divine Power and Mundane Power in Ancient Chinese Funeral Grids," is also scheduled for publication bilingually in English and Hebrew.
