If you were to walk into the house of 514 Lowes at the University of Dayton on any 3rd Friday of every month, you would be welcomed by both students and faculty. Gathered around the large, curated walls, with the sound of live music booming throughout the home, this house - dubbed 'Campus Canvas,' showcases the artistic and musical talent of the University of Dayton's student body.

Campus Canvas is a special interest, student-run gallery tucked into the student neighborhood on the University of Dayton's campus. Established earlier this year, this gallery aims to showcase music, poetry and art from students of all different majors and backgrounds.

This gallery, which is home to not only art and music, but also 4 students, brings the serious and often elite feelings harbored towards galleries down a notch. By inviting fellow students, friends and faculty into their home, these students push for art and music to be experienced by a different community.

These 4 students, who call this gallery their home, aim to not only showcase art and music, but also bring the student body together for charity. In the name of special interest, Campus Canvas also utilizes their gallery and platform to raise money and awareness for the local charity, We Care Arts.

A non-profit organization, We Care Arts is a center located in Kettering, Ohio, that serves as an inspirational place for developmentally disabled adults and youth. This center provides a variety of art classes that promote acceptance, creativity and individuality. By selling artwork and various prints, Campus Canvas invites all visiting and performing students to donate to this sponsored charity - furthering the need for art and acceptance throughout the community.

Having already showcased a handful of student artists, Campus Canvas has become an established home in order to spread the love of art and music, as well as giving back. To find out more information on their artistic mission, check out their social media pages:

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
