Explore all the current exhibitions featured in the Peeler Art Center Galleries, including:
- "We Love Having You Here" - curated by current Arthur E. Klauser Fellows Ian Brundige '22 and Alyssa Flory '22. Through this exhibition, identity will be examined as a constant process of discovering, defining, revealing, and defying parts of ourselves.
- "Filter Feeder" by Mark Rospenda. This exhibition of drawings and paper sculptures is a self portrait of the artist as a poetic representation of knowledge and belief—and questions how those rickety structures will hold up to moments that threaten to shake us to the core.
- "Hidden Treasures: Objects from DePauw University's Art Collections." Special pieces from the art collection will be on view in Peeler’s second-floor display case.
