The Oglesby Gallery was created to provide an exhibition space for artists that are part of the Florida State University community. The goal of the gallery is to provide members of this community, and the Tallahassee region with high quality exhibitions, and performances. This goal shall be accomplished by encouraging various artists to explore contemporary as well as alternative and traditional formats and philosophies. The gallery addresses a multi-cultural population, and ensures access to all individuals who wish to experience our exhibits.

Eat Me is a show put on by the Edible Asthetic, an art class taught by Mark Koven. The objective of this course is to produce objects and actions of considerable skill and craft that use the concept of ‘food’ as a matrix of productivity and thought. While this can include food as an art making material, the goal will be to use some aspect of food (i.e. its presentation, its depiction in advertising, its cultural connotations) as a springboard to construct works that merge form and content in creative ways.
