UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The HUB-Robeson Galleries present "True Likeness," an exhibition of contemporary portraits from diverse makers in a variety of media. The exhibition will be on display in HUB Gallery and Art Alley through March 20.
There will be a celebratory double reception at 5-7 p.m. on Feb. 8 on the first floor of the HUB-Robeson Center. Attendees can join a lively conversation and have their portraits created and added to the exhibition.
Portraits serve as expressions of identity, popular taste, social standing, and as documents of who, when and where. Representing one’s self in the best light or seeing others in understandable terms are motives behind why we record images of each other, whether for rituals, documentation of events, art making or as expressions of status. The exhibiting artists hail from all over the United States. Read more about the exhibition here.
This exhibition was curated by Lia Newman and Tom Stanley. Project contributors include Russ White, Graham McKinney, Stephanie Cash, Kayley McDonald, Grace Southern, Dani Spewak, Sarah Kipp and Kelly Kutz.
