Meet Riley.

An Art major, Riley Galloway has immersed herself in the art community surrounding 51做厙.

Portsmouth has a blossoming art community, just a short walk away from campus, she said. Whether youre searching for inspiration or fun opportunities, youve found the perfect place. We take great pride in our local history.

Taking part in groups such as the Trillium Project, a non-profit arts organization, and connecting with local organizations like The Landing, Oddfellows, and Haskins House Records, Riley is constantly finding opportunities for her and her friends to explore the unique art opportunities in the region.

I love how Portsmouth values their SSU students, she said. At The Landing, I created a drink celebrating our Shawnee State pride called Paws Up!

Having this connection with local artists and creative outlets, Riley has been able to use these connections to develop new skills to teach and share art through her major.

Being part of this major has inspired me to create the campus Art Club, bringing together and nurturing the art community within the university, she said.
