The Gallery at Penn College serves as a cultural resource for Pennsylvania College of Technology and the surrounding communities. It offers opportunities to engage with contemporary art, fostering appreciation, critical thinking, and meaningful experiences through diverse exhibitions and programs.
Each year, artists are invited to submit exhibition proposals, which are reviewed by a jury composed of dedicated Penn College faculty and staff, and artists from the local community. Selected exhibitions typically feature a public artist talk and reception.
The Gallery manages the College's Art on Campus collection, which features works acquired through both donations and purchases.
International visual artist Taha Ahmad is featured in The Gallery at Penn College. Based in India, Ahmad’s work focuses on the people affected by the partition of India and Pakistan. Drawn into two, which way home? provides a visual of the present-day reality and everyday struggles of Punjab as well as the shift in the pluralistic landscape of India.
In the gallery lobby, Photogenic Drawings features the collaborative work of a naturalist (Chris Slear) and a photographer (Keith Vanderlin). Their work synthesizes art and science, and more specifically, blends nature and photography.
