The University Museum at IUP overlooks the Oak Grove, a park-like space older than the university, with tall trees, grass, flowers, benches, and paths leading students to and from class.
With the exhibition “Environmental,” we bring the outside in, allowing artists to interpret the theme through paint, print, sculpture, wood, and fiber.
The exhibition features works by:
Elizabeth Rose, Kaoru Aoki, Avonelle Whitacre, Beth Fiddler, Sharon Boykiw, Bridget Battaglini, Jorge Rivas, Jack Honeysett, Cathy Paterson, Brennon Huff, Jess Green, Julie Woodard, Jolene Joyner, Tony Golden, Matthew Bartus, Jonelle Summerfield, Aaron Vizzini, Ali Pate, Joy Fairbanks, Janice Trusky, Courtney Scherf, and Dodd Holsapple.
