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.

As a weekly series, The Icon will feature the art created by John Peter Klassen, a long-time Bluffton College art professor.

For some viewers, this series is familiar. For others, it may be a first-time experience.

One of this summer's construction projects underway in the village is taking place on the university campus. It involves a re-roofing of a portion of Yoder Recital Hall.
