Upcoming Exhibitions

The arts can provide personal sanctuaries, life giving inspiration, and physical therapy. Simultaneously, arts experiences can create common ground and opportunities to connect us to each other. This exhibit brings together creative work from all over New Hampshire that tells the story of the power of art at this time in this place.

Art continues to serve a central purpose in our society and is integral to everyday life
and education. From the process of creating to the experience of artworks, art is a
universal language that expresses the needs of all ages. Living in rural New Hampshire
can be isolating and arts experiences oftentimes are the pathways to creating community.
This exhibition includes work from northern New Hampshire’s high school, college, and
community education students. Co-curated by PSU interdisciplinary studies student
Sarah Connor ’20.

Highlighting the strength, energy, passion, and technical skill of our PSU art students, this annual exhibition features the best efforts of students from all levels of art making. Through exploration and experimentation inside and outside the classroom, this exhibition includes a wide variety of media from drawing, painting, photography, and video to graphic design, sculpture, and mixed media. 

Celebrating artistic achievements by area youth, this exhibit is presented in collaboration with area art teachers. This exhibit provides a month-long moment and space to highlight excellent educational experiences art teachers have developed, making visible both the magic of the artworks, AND the design and intention of the educator that makes it possible.
