The Wexner Center for the Arts is The Ohio State University’s "multidisciplinary, international laboratory for the exploration and advancement of contemporary art". The Wexner Center opened in November 1989, named in honor of the father of Limited Brands founder Leslie Wexner, a major donor to the Center. Current director Johanna Burton was appointed in November 2019 after director Sherri Geldin ended her 25-year tenure at the institution; the Wexner Center is public gallery, but not an art museum, as it does not collect art. However, when the Center was constructed, it replaced the University Gallery of Fine Arts, assumed possession and stewardship of the University Gallery's permanent collection of 3,000 art works; the collection serves a secondary role in the Center's programs in the visual and performing arts. While it is made available to University students and scholars for study, drawn upon for exhibitions at the center or elsewhere, it is dormant. Johanna Burton, Director. Peter Eisenman won the design competition for the Wexner in 1983 over four other, more experienced finalists: Cesar Pelli.

Progressive Architecture magazine devoted a whole issue to the building before it was finished. During its three-year renovation between 2002 and 2005, the Wexner relocated its galleries in a former coffin factory two miles away, while the performing arts and film programs continued at the center, it drew 200,000 to 250,000 visitors a year before the renovation. In November 2005, the Wexner Center reopened; the Wexner Center's 108,000 square feet, three-story building was designed by architects Peter Eisenman of New York and the late Richard Trott of Columbus with landscape architect Laurie Olin of Philadelphia. It was the first major public building to be designed by Eisenman known as a teacher and theorist. Based on the controversial theory that art should be "challenged" by its environment rather than displayed neutrally, the museum raised Eisenman's profile and he went on to design and build a number of other major projects including the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe in Berlin.

The design includes a large, white metal grid meant to suggest scaffolding, to give the building a sense of incompleteness in tune with the architect's deconstructivist tastes. Eisenman took note of the mismatched street grids of the OSU campus and the city of Columbus, which vary by 12.25 degrees, designed the Wexner Center to alternate which grids it followed. The result was a building of sometimes questionable functionality, but admitted architectural interest; the center's brick turrets make reference to the medieval-like armory building that occupied the site until the 1958. Included in the Wexner Center space are a film and video theater, a performance space, a film and video post production studio, a bookstore, café, 12,000 square feet of galleries; the 2005 renovation enlisted the help of a local firm switched to Arup. In addition to the building envelope, the scope of renovation includes HVAC, electrical, fire protection systems; the renovation works had a minimum impact on the original architectural design while improving environmental and climate control.

With the restoration of the center as a whole, the bookstore and video theater, café sections were all revamped and layout-wise. Notable Exhibitions include: Chris Marker: Silent Movie, Julie Taymor: Playing With Fire, Shirin Neshat: Two Installations, Suite Fantastique, As Painting: Division and Displacement, Mood River, Pier Paolo Calzolari, Part Object Part Sculpture, Twice Untitled and Other Pictures Louise Lawler, Chris Marker Staring Back, William Wegman: Funney/Strange, Andy Warhol: Other Voices, Other Rooms, William Forsythe: Transfigurations. In 2002, the Wexner staged "Mood River," one of the most comprehensive exhibitions of industrial and commercial design staged in America, featuring artwork by Simparch, Tony Cragg, E. V. Day, designs by Peter Eisenman, Kivi Sotamaa, Ben van Berkel, "products" like the Stealth Bomber, the Redman Self-Defense Instructor suits. In 2017 the gallery featured an exhibition by Cindy Sherman; the Wexner Center's Film/Video department is known for screening films that are new and different and classic, or just too edgy for the multiplex.

They have a year-round theater program that includes independent films, international cinema, new documentaries and experimental film. Many times, films are accompanied by visiting filmmakers discussing their works for the public; the Film/Video department presents more than 180 films and videos annually in all formats and genres in the Center's Film/Video Theater.

The SS Quinault Victory was the thirty-first Victory ship built by Oregon Shipbuilding Corporation in Portland, Oregon under the auspices of the Emergency Shipbuilding Program in support of America's involvement in World War II. Laid-down on 3 May 1944 and launched on 17 June, Quinault Victory was delivered to the War Shipping Administration and subsequently leased to the United States Lines Company. On July 11, 1944 Quinault Victory sailed from Portland, under the command of Merchant Marine Captain Robert J. Sullivan arriving at the Shell Oil Company's Martinez, California refinery on July 17, 1944 where she took on a partial load of fuel oil; some of the oil taken aboard was of a type that released light hydrocarbon gas on agitation, heating, or standing. This could have resulted in formation of an explosive mixture in the confined air space above the oil in the tanks. Prior to being sent to Martinez for a pre-loading inspection was made by the Port Director's officers and the Captain of the Port's office, no defects were noted.

Upon leaving Martinez she sailed up Suisun Bay to Port Chicago Naval Magazine, California arriving 6:00 PM in preparation for her maiden voyage. Some difficulty was experienced in mooring her due to tides, she was moored on the starboard side headed east at the outboard berth across from the SS E. A. Bryan, a Liberty ship. Upon arrival at Port Chicago, California both the loading officer and his assistants visited the ship, gave copies of pertinent magazine orders to the master, inspected some of the holds and saw that the ship was being properly rigged for loading; the number 5 cargo hold was not being rigged. As a new ship, this was the first time. Trouble was experienced with shackles and preventer guys. Winding on some of the winches were on backwards and had to be corrected. Loading have started at midnight. Dunnage ammunition and loaded railcars were parked on the pier for loading to the ships; the railcars slated for Quinault Victory contained 253 tons of bombs and 5 inch projectiles for 5"/25 caliber guns.

Across the pier the E. A. Bryan was loaded with 6,064 tons of ammunition and had an additional 176 tons on the pier, including 60 tons of incendiary clusters, to be loaded before departing. On July 17, 1944, at 10:18 PM local time, two major explosions occurred 6 seconds apart in what became known as the Port Chicago disaster; the detonation of 4,600 tons of munitions being loaded onto the Quinault Victory and E. A. Bryan, registered at a magnitude of 3.4 on the seismograph at the University of California, some 20 miles away. The force of the explosions lifted the Quinault Victory out of the water; the E. A. Bryan was vaporized. 320 sailors and dockworkers were killed and 390 were injured, making it the worst U. S. home front disaster of World War II. The span of only twelve weeks between the ship's keel being laid and the disaster may make Quinault Victory the most short-lived of all the Victory ships.
