Urban Arts Space's 29th Annual Fergus Scholarship Award Exhibition was recently featured in The Columbus Dispatch.

From Peter Tonguette for The Columbus Dispatch:

"This year's Ohio State University’s annual Fergus Scholarship Award Exhibition has moved online for the first time in its 29 years, and the result is a study in diversity.
