Week Two @psu_artanddesign LET’S DO THIS! Kicking this post off with our overstuffed corndog, who made the move from the old building with us. NO CORNDOG LEFT BEHIND! A few moments from all four floors as I opened up doors and popped into classes this morning. We also had our first fire drill, so there’s a little all-school gathering outside in the mix too! I saw colleagues from painting, fashion + printmaking, along with so many sweet graphic design faces. SUCH a game changer to have our whole school under one roof. All these people and all this making happening in one spot! And NEXT TUESDAY we get to share it with all of YOU! Our big GRAND OPENING is October 13, and everyone is invited. Come explore all four floors and meet the people bringing this place to life! 4–8 PM! Opening remarks at 4! Ribbon cutting at 4:45! Building-wide party from 5–8! Art, design, music, printing, performances + making things. Bring your friends! 💛 Details at psu.gd/grandopening

This dynamic show traces the journey from sunset to sunrise, symbolizing the enduring struggle and resilience of women who have faced repression and highlighting the emerging generation of artists who advocate for change through the act of artistic expression. “With Her Own Wings” is supported through the Creative Heights Grant @the_ocf from the Oregon Community Foundation and the Oregon Arts Commission @orartscomm Please join us as we welcome all to experience the sounds and visuals of a people and movement that continues to fight for freedom.

Final Project + Exhibition The theme: A Love Letter to Florence Probably coming off the heels of @artistvat Color + Culture class this past spring, I was drawn to the color palette of Florence. Regulated by the city’s art council since the 1860s, when Italy unified and Florence was briefly the capital, the colors are an archive of tradition. Ochre and pale yellows in various buttery shades, sienna, choral, peachy sandstone, vibrant green shutters, some brown, some grey. The palette was distinct and inspired my attention to color for this piece, my love letter to the color of Florence. #colorpalette #firenze
