About This Event
Penn State Schuylkill will celebrate the opening of Art Space's new location with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The event will welcome members of the campus and local community and will be held in partnership with the Schuylkill Chamber of Commerce. Attendees will have the opportunity to tour the newly furnished Art Space and learn more about its role in supporting arts and culture at Penn State Schuylkill. Remarks during the ceremony will be delivered by Cory Scherer, interim chancellor of Penn State Schuylkill, and Bob Carl, president and CEO of the Schuylkill Chamber of Commerce and president of the Penn State Schuylkill Advisory Board. Following the ribbon cutting, guests are invited to remain for an artist reception and gallery talk with Ibiyinka "Ibi" Alao, whose exhibition will be on display in Art Space.
