A showcase of student artwork and creative development was celebrated this past Friday with a reception honoring 12 talented graphic design students in their final semester of study at Penn College.
“Graphic Design 2025” runs through Friday, May 9, in The Gallery at Penn College, on the third floor of The Madigan Library. Remaining hours and days are: 2 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday; and noon to 4 p.m. Friday. The exhibit is free and open to the public.
The annual exhibition highlights the best design, illustration and web design work of graphic design seniors, giving them the opportunity to present their work in marketing, branding, packaging, advertising and design to industry professionals, the community, family, friends and fellow classmates. All have petitioned to graduate this month with their Bachelor of Science degrees in graphic design.
