Signature
About the Exhibition
Signature at Penn State Berks is a new annual exhibition that honors the longstanding artistic legacy of our campus. This annual exhibition will showcase the vision, talent, and voices of our students and campus community. It is more than an exhibition — it is a celebration, a statement that art belongs here and deserves to be seen.
From Saturday, October 4, through Wednesday, November 12, the gallery will come alive with paintings, photographs, and mixed media works. There will be a reception from noon to 4:00 p.m. on October 4th, coinciding with Penn State Berks Family & Homecoming Even, featuring food and music, opportunities to meet the artists, and interactive voting. Prizes will recognize outstanding contributions by campus artists, but above all, the exhibition honors the courage to create and to share.
Signature will return every fall as a tradition at Berks, growing each year into something students can look forward to, prepare for, and be proud of. Like the first chapter of a long-running story, this exhibition sets the stage for many more to come.
Be part of an artistic legacy. Be part of the story.
Welcome to Penn State Berks’ Signature.
