Art & Museum Exhibits

Thursday, December 03, 2009 3 - 5 p.m.

The Division of Arts and Humanities will exhibit the works of Penn State Altoona student, Laura Hovenstine, December 3 - 12, 2009. Her photography will be on display in the McLanahan Gallery of the Misciagna Family Center for Performing Arts. A reception will be held December 3, 2009, from 3 - 5 p.m. in the Titelman Study. Hovenstine, from Hollidaysburg, is currently an undergraduate student at the college working toward a B.A in visual art studies with an emphasis on photography. Upon graduation, she plans to take a few years and travel the world before returning to graduate school to become a teacher. One of Hovenstine’s biggest influences was her father, an artist in his own right, who showed her that it was possible to make a career doing something she was passionate about. Hovenstine’s love for photography goes hand in hand with her compassion and desire to understand the people around her. Her work focuses on ordinary people doing ordinary things as these simple tasks often hold a great beauty that is often overlooked. She likes to capture the look after the first shutter click, the sigh after the smile is released, or the perfect natural emotions people try to withhold. The McLanahan Gallery is open Monday – Friday, 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. and before and during all performances. Information may be obtained by calling the Box Office at 814-949-5452 or by visiting http://www.altoona.psu.edu/misciagna.
