Professor of Studio Art Erin M. Smith, ’07, an acclaimed artist and proud member of the Central State University community, has achieved a significant milestone this summer.

Smith’s piece is among 89 selected works that captivate and inspire visitors, showcasing the diversity and strength of female voices in the art world. 

The exhibit, which opened on Juneteenth — coinciding with Erin's live painting of Harriet Tubman at Dayton Children's Hospital for Culture Works of Dayton — runs until Sept. 8. Although the official receptions have concluded, special events and tours continue until the end of August, offering a final chance to experience this powerful showcase.  

The last guided tour, included with general admission, will take place on Aug. 24. 

This is an exciting moment for the CSU community, and Erin's participation in Riveting is a testament to her talent and dedication.
