Assisting artists in the free program, which celebrates Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy on the 150th anniversary of his death, will be members of the Alard Quartet, mezzo-soprano Suzanne Loerch and cellist Stephen Feldman, instructor of music.
An exhibition of drawings by first-year architecture students in visual communication courses taught by Howard Ray Lawrence, assistant professor of architecture, will be on display at the Schlow Library Art Gallery in State College until Thursday, Oct. 2.
Seven large black line drawings on white field are shown. The drawings explore the relationships of objects and spaces to disrupt a sense of gravity or a point of view. Each drawing is produced by a group of students.
The Palmer Museum of Art opens a new exhibition, "Marsden Hartley: American Modern," on Tuesday, Sept. 30. Organized by Patricia McDonnell, curator of the Weisman Art Museum at the University of Minnesota, the exhibition features more than 50 works by this notable American artist. It will run through Sunday, Dec. 14.
"Marsden Hartley: American Modern" offers a new and important retrospective of Hartley, tracing his evolution in both art and philosophy. The artwork, text panels and accompanying catalog will explain Hartley's shifting artistic practice and beliefs in the context of changing cultural and political realities.
Concurrent with this exhibition, the Palmer Museum will present "Photographs from the Stieglitz Circle," an exhibition that includes artists' portraits and works.
