The School of Art Collection and Galleries at Kent State University are pleased to announce, “A Gift in Ink: Prints from the New York Print Club’s Recent Donation to the School of Art Collection,” in the Michener Gallery, located on the 2nd floor the Kent State University Library, Kent, Ohio. The exhibit will be on view Dec. 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. 

LeRoy Neiman Exhibition Highlights Early Fashion Illustration Work LeRoy Neiman (1921–2012) was best known for his brilliantly colored, expressionist paintings and screen prints of athletes, musicians and sporting events. A new exhibition highlights his early, lesser-known work as a fashion illustrator and explores how it influenced his lifelong interest in capturing the clothing, gesture and style of his subjects.

The exhibition "A Meeting of Cultures: Fashioning North Africa" will be the first of its kind in the world to focus specifically on contemporary fashion designers and influencers in Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and Egypt. Scheduled to open at the Kent State University Museum in September 2025, this pathbreaking exhibition broadens the scope of scholarship on fashion history, which to date has focused primarily on American and European designers.

In honor of the Kent State University Museum’s 40th anniversary, this exhibition pays tribute to Aileen Mehle, a friend of the museum founders and widely syndicated society columnist. The exhibition features evening dresses and jewelry from Mehle that will be displayed in the museum’s historic Higbee Gallery from July 18, 2025, through Aug. 23, 2026. Mehle, who lived from 1918 to 2016, wrote under the pseudonym Suzy Knickerbocker and enjoyed a career spanning five decades – from the 1950s until her final column in 2005, which she wrote at the age of 87.
