Penn State Abington has partnered with artist David Buckley Borden to create a temporary public art installation through Penn State’s Campus Arts Initiative. It will present a visualization of data surrounding climate change with Abington students engaging in the outdoor sculpture’s development process.
Two Penn State Abington art majors under the guidance of a faculty member are meticulously restoring a decaying sculpture. The replica of the Winged Victory of Samothrace — the original remains in Paris — is a link to the campus' historic past.
"North Pole," artwork created by a Penn State Abington student for an undergraduate research project, claimed first prize in an exhibit sponsored by The Polar Center at Penn State. Senior Jacqueline Lanning traveled to Norway and worked with international experts documenting the early exploration of the world’s northernmost archipelago, Franz Josef Land.
During the month of April, two galleries are showcasing the works of eleven emerging Penn State Abington student artists. The sixth annual Bertha Lear Exhibition in the campus' Woodland Gallery honors those who show outstanding merit in their genre while seniors are the focus of the installation at the nearby Abington Art Center.
William Cromar, art lecturer at Penn State Abington, was in high profile in Philadelphia last week during the opening reception of the Art in City Hall juried exhibition, "Following the Line." Two of his works in wood, ink and wax are on display in the choice position outside the highly trafficked area of the Office of the Chief Clerk. Art in City Hall exhibitions showcase contemporary artwork by professional and emerging Philadelphia artists. Cromar is one of 27 artists whose work in "Following the Line" can be viewed until Dec. 2. For more information on Art in City Hall visit http://www.phila.gov/artincityhall/ online.
