The Board of the Art Alliance is excited to announce this Exhibition Schedule for 2021. Our shows this spring in the Art Center will be hybrid events with viewing in-person by appointment and a virtual component.
This is an ambitious schedule and we need VOLUNTEERS to make it happen. Tasks include helping to install exhibitions, receive and return work, and coordinate calls for entry and advertising with staff. Additionally for shows in the Art Center help is needed in repairing and painting walls. This is a great way to get to know other artists in our organization and contribute to our success! To volunteer please send an email to artalliance05@gmail.com.
With the closing of our Downtown Gallery we lost some exhibition space. Fortunately our friends at the Kish Expect More Store on S. Allen St. have invited us to use their beautiful lobby and offices for exhibitions. The months of May and June will feature our Members Show. Other months will be available for solo or group shows and we will be sending more information about this later.
We are also scheduling shows for the Downtown Improvement District office in the MLK Plaza. It is a great space with plenty of wall space and good lighting. For more information on having a show of your work at the DID please email us at artalliance05@gmail.com.
Penn State Anderson Lecture Series, Spring 2021
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The Penn State School of Visual Arts announced its spring 2021 lineup for the John M. Anderson Endowed Lecture Series, which will be presented via Zoom and is free and open to the public. Pre-registration for each lecture is required via the links below.
Lewis Hyde, “The Art of Forgetting”
- Monday, Feb. 1, at 11:30 a.m.
- Lecture registration
Lewis Hyde is a poet, essayist, translator, and cultural critic with a particular interest in the public life of the imagination. His 1983 book, “The Gift,” illuminates and defends the non-commercial portion of artistic practice. “Trickster Makes This World” (1998) uses a group of ancient myths to argue for the disruptive intelligence that all cultures need if they are to remain lively and open to change. “Common as Air” (2010) is a spirited defense of our “cultural commons,” that vast store of ideas, inventions, and works of art that we have inherited from the past and continue to enrich in the present.

Community-Inspired Art Display at 3 Dots Downtown
2021 Inaugural Art Exhibition
State College, Pa.– The Borough of State College and 3 Dots Downtown are seeking artists to respond, to highlight the vibrancy and resilience diversity brings to the State College area. The Borough’s Office of Community Engagement and 3 Dots Downtown are collaborating for the first time on a rotating art exhibition in the downtown area which will comprise local artists conveying ‘what diversity means in this community.’
Applications to be submitted no later than January 31, at Noon EST.
Community members were recently asked “What makes State College a vibrant and resilient community?” The responses had one common theme: Diversity. State College residents come from all over the world to share their food, culture, perspectives, and their identities with the community. Because of this, both organizations encourage representation from commonly marginalized communities in society, such as, but not limited to: people of color, people from working class backgrounds, women, persons with disabilities, and the LGBTQ+ community. These communities must be represented to ensure this initiative is successful and strongly encourage submissions from individuals who identify with these communities.
The selected artist/s are required to provide a series of large-scale artworks to be displayed in the interior windows at 3 Dots Downtown (137 East Beaver Avenue). The Office of Community Engagement has received a small grant for this project and will be providing $500-$1000 in remuneration (depending on the installation).
The first exhibition is planned for the months of February and March 2021, followed by a second artist’s exhibition April and May 2021. Both organizations will work with you to ensure professional lighting and hanging installation are appropriate to your artworks, and that your work is secure.
Criteria
· 2D Artwork – painting, drawing, photography, printworks, etc.
· The artist must reside in the Borough of State College or surrounding areas to be eligible.
Application Guidelines
· Photo examples, number & dimensions of artworks
· Short biography about yourself and your medium
· Brief statement on why you’re interested in participating in this initiative
Applications to be submitted no later than: January 31 at noon EST
For submissions and questions, please contact Natalie Vercillo at:
Email: nvercillo@statecollegepa.us // Tel: (484) 560-1397
