Art Around Town
Be sure to check out Vanessa Temple’s work at the SC DID Office on the MLK Jr. Plaza on South Fraser Street in State College in September & October!
From the SCDID website:
There is plenty of art in State College to admire, but in the case of this month’s featured artist, it’s not just art in State College but art from State College. Each month, the Downtown Improvement District features a new artist’s work, and this month, State College’s very own Venessa Temple is in the spotlight. Temple is a State College native, born and raised, who graduated from State High in 1999. She says that while she left home multiple times, she inevitably found herself back in the place she loved, leading her to get her undergraduate degree in philosophy at Penn State.
