Summer is a great time to explore the art spread across the Bluffton community – especially for viewers unable to visit art galleries elsewhere in Ohio.
In this weekly series, The Icon features the art created by John Peter Klassen (1888-1975), a long-time Bluffton College art professor, and art by other artists in the community.
For some viewers, this series is familiar. For others, it may be a first-time experience.
According to the announcement on the front door of the Bluffton elementary school, class lists will be posted by 5 p.m., Friday, Aug. 21.
• Kindergarten and first grade lists will be posted by the K-1 entrance on Lawn Avenue. • Second grade and third grade lists will be posted at the traditional location, which is the elementary main entrance. • Fourth and fifth grade lists will be posted at the fifth grade entrance at the corner of Jackson and Vine.
The center, at 132 N. Main St., is open, thanks to permission from the Allen County Health Department. Here’s an update from the August newsletter.
