The Horn Gallery is dedicated to supporting a cooperative environment open to creative endeavors and free expression. Student organized and driven, the Horn Gallery seeks to create a community that extends beyond the boundaries of Kenyon's academic life. The Horn's greatest asset is that it operates on a consensus basis. There is no higher authority; instead, everyone stands an equal ground communicating in an open forum. Limited only to your imagination, anything can be done within the Horn Community.

An open microphone with an audience waiting and anticipating a verse of your lyric in a song, poem, chords of an instrument, story, or artwork. It's about sharing a piece of yourself for others to taste, give feedback on (only if you want to hear it), and encourage one another.

KFS provides a cultural alternative to students three nights a week. These films shown being popular enough that the student body will have heard of them, but they would not own a DVD. We also aim to open our screenings to the greater community and fill the gap that the Mt. Vernon cinema does not.

The Owl Creeks Singers is a student-run, a cappella vocal group of approximately 10 women. We perform 2 concerts, a revue, and a cabaret throughout the academic year. The group has an eclectic, ever-changing repertoire that ranges from soul and pop music to oldies. More than anything, though, Creeks try to keep the idea of community with them at all times: we all strive toward the same goal of making beautiful music together.
