‘A Room Full of Stories’
An Exhibition of Senior Capstone Projects

A Room Full of Stories is an exhibition that showcases the works of Penn State Abington seniors enrolled in the art program, in which we share personal experiences through a multitude of media. Each of these creations tells a passionate story, allowing us to connect and appreciate one another, as well as the viewer. Using art as a form of self-expression and storytelling is an asset for us and we are extremely grateful to our academic institution for allowing us to display a room full of stories.

Featuring the work of Jahmir Choy-Herndon, Theodora Dagkli Andonopoulos, Desiree Davila, Anastasiya Denisova, Riley Harris, and Arielle Kearns

In addition to the 2023 Bertha Lear Reception and Awards Ceremony on April 17th, a separate reception will be held to celebrate senior capstone projects.
