The HUB-Robeson Galleries presents "C/O Commonwealth," a juried exhibition which invited artists to make site-responsive and socially engaged works of local relevance and international significance, on view in the HUB-Robeson Center’s Art Alley and exhibition cases through June 25.
Throughout the pandemic, barriers have blocked most conventional means of artistic expression: Theaters went virtual, museums limited capacities and State Collegeâs 3 Dots Downtown temporarily closed.
Sitting at the corner of Pugh Street and Beaver Avenue, 3 Dots is a community art space. In a normal year, local artists could perform or display work here.
Erica Quinn, executive director of 3 Dots, recently stepped into her role and has been âimmersingâ herself in the organization over the past month.
Quinn said the 3 Dots team closed the space out of âan abundance of safety and caution,â but the distribution of monthly $1,000 grants for artists has continued.
3 Dots Downtown and its owners realized there was a hole in the State College community a year after the coronavirus pandemic began. So, it turned to art to fill that space.
The borough of State College and 3 Dots put together an art exhibit downtown with the intent of showcasing State Collegeâs diversity to the public.
Spud Marshall is the innovation director and a co-founder of 3 Dots Downtown, which is a nonprofit community space meant to âshine light on really great creative effortsâ happening locally.
According to Marshall, the artwork of Tiara Zhanè, a past Penn State student, âreally hit the theme,â conveying to the public âall that makes State College a really great place to call home.â
