The fall series opens in September with the works of local Zarah Blair and Susan Schwartz followed in October with an alumni exhibit by Bill Otremski, Bill DeBernardi and Chuck Carr. November features paintings of Eileen Kopelman of Pennsylvania during the Revolutionary War and the fall series concludes in December with the annual display by the East Suburban Artists' League.

The spring semester highlights include the works of local high school faculty in January, a Black History exhibit in February, and the Alle-Kiski Arts Consortium, featuring local high school students, in March. Campus students display their works in April and the spring semester concludes with the annual exhibit of the selected works of Bud Gibbons, professor of visual arts at Penn State New Kensington.

All exhibits are free to the public. The gallery is open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. weekdays and noon to 5 p.m. weekends. Each month, a recorded message describes the current exhibit. To access the message, call 724-334-6004.

The current display, photographs by Jerrold Maddox, runs through the end of August. Maddox, professor of art at the University Park campus, has a background in painting and drawing. He exhibited his paintings for 30 years at numerous venues before turning to photography and computer-based graphics in 1990
