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 in honor 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.
