Visual Arts Annual Graduate Research Exhibition

HUB-Robeson Center | HUB Gallery

On View | March 28, 2025 – April 27, 2025

Presentations: March 28, 2025, 1:00 – 4:00 p.m.

The HUB-Robeson Galleries, in partnership with the Graduate School, are proud to present the Visual Arts Annual Graduate Research Exhibition. The exhibition will be on display in HUB Gallery from March 28, 2025, through April 27, 2025. Established in 1986, the Graduate Research Exhibition, hosted by the Graduate School, places special emphasis on communicating research and their creative endeavor to a general audience and offers professional development opportunities by challenging students to present their work to new audiences.

The Visual Arts option is designed for students required to create studio work as a part of their graduate degree program and gives candidates the opportunity to demonstrate the significance of their ideas and creative research to jurors from outside of their field who score the works and award prizes. All are welcome to the presentations of candidates on March 28, 2025, from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. in HUB Gallery. Meet current Visual Arts graduate students and learn more about their studio practice.

Throughout their programs, MFA candidates work closely with art faculty and fellow artists to develop advanced techniques, expand concepts, discuss critical issues, and emerge with a vision for their personal work. Through a broad range of mediums spanning from painting and drawing to ceramic, graphic design, and new media, each piece is compelling in its own way and demonstrates the diversity of artistic research by Penn State graduate students.

Each work of art in the Visual Arts Annual Graduate Research Exhibition reveals insights into the creative process. Penn State graduate students’ dedicated study and artistic exploration culminate in work that provokes reflection on contemporary art practices and fosters dialogue on the meaning of artmaking today.

The Penn State community is encouraged to visit the exhibition in-person at HUB Gallery to experience this unique collection of artworks. HUB Gallery is open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and admission is free for all, always.

HUB-Robeson Galleries welcome and encourage class, office, and student organization group visits. Student and staff-led tours are available; email Galleries@psu.edu with inquiries.
