We invite all instructors to learn about the spectrum of stress that can lead to burnout, featuring a toolkit of strategies we can use to support ourselves and each other.  There will be time to connect in small groups, sharing any strategies that have worked for you, and at the close, we will empower you with applied approaches you can take with you to begin using immediately. 

Coffee, tea, and light refreshments will be provided for in-person participants.  This in-person and virtual event was not recorded.

Riffing on the Human Condition features artwork from the two Cleveland-based artists/designers and will be on display from June 13 – July 26, 2025, in the KSU Downtown Gallery, located at 141 East Main Street in Kent, Ohio. There will be a reception on June 13 from 5-7 p.m., which is free and open to the public.

Northeast Ohio artists Justin Will and Joe Lanzilotta’s graphic painting styles both employ bold colors and flattened shapes as their visual languages for coping with the contemporary human condition. Will’s work uses joy and humor as means of easing the burdens of existence, while Lanzilotta confronts it head-on, highlighting some of the absurd and strange truths about being a human alive in the world today.

This exhibit is free and open to the public and has been brought to you with support from the Ohio Arts Council.
