UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The HUB-Robeson Galleries, in partnership with the Graduate School, will present the Visual Arts Annual Graduate Research Exhibition in the HUB Gallery from March 18 to April 1.

Established in 1986, the Graduate Research Exhibition places special emphasis on communicating research and creative endeavors to a general audience. It offers professional development opportunities by challenging students to present their work to new audiences.  

Candidate presentations, which are open to the public, will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. on Friday, March 24, in the HUB Gallery. Visitors can meet current visual arts graduate students and learn more about their studio practice.

The visual arts option is designed for students required to create studio work as a part of their graduate degree program. It gives candidates the opportunity to demonstrate the significance of their ideas and creative research to jurors outside of their field who score the works and award prizes. 

This year’s Visual Arts Annual Graduate Research Exhibition features a variety of pieces speaking to the personal experiences of seventeen different candidates. With a broad range of mediums spanning from ceramic to fiber and graphic design, each piece demonstrates the diversity of artistic research by Penn State graduate students.

The Penn State community is encouraged to visit the exhibition in-person at HUB Gallery to experience this diverse collection of artworks. The HUB Gallery is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Admission is free for all.

The HUB-Robeson Galleries welcome and encourage class, office and student organization group visits. Student and staff-led tours are available. Email Galleries@psu.edu with inquiries.
