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.
