Exhibits
Susan Nicholas Gephart, a Penn State alumna, draws on her more than 30 years experience painting en plein air to express her appreciation for the environment through oils and pastels. Each painting is a multisensory response to capture the mood of the landscape at a moment.
This is an Art on the Move exhibit organized by the HUB-Robeson Galleries.
Michelle Bixby describes photography as a universal language, allowing her the opportunity to tell stories in a way that words could never succeed. Special Moments is a representation of each special moment she captured, conveying a spectrum of emotions.
This is an Art on the Move exhibit arranged by the HUB-Robeson Galleries at Penn State.
Serving as the centerpiece to Minichiello’s “A Dirge,” Tension addresses the strain civilization imposes on natural processes and the anxiety that may lie ahead globally.
This piece will be on display in Sculpture Corner, located in Art Alley.
Check out the "Painting Out of the Lines" art exhibit!
