Kent State University’s School of Art invites prospective students, transfer students, families and teachers to attend its School of Art Open House on Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2026.
The Kent State University Museum is delighted to present “Elphaba’s Lair,” a special lobby display featuring one extraordinary object: Elphaba’s treehouse cardigan by Paul Tazewell Design.
The display is on view August 27, 2026, through January 3, 2027.

It was not made to the same scale as the sweater used in the film "Wicked: For Good." The cardigan was generously given to the Kent State University Museum by Tazewell Costumes, Inc.
