Unusual galleries

The Haas Gallery of Art may be the most prominent of the exhibition spaces at Bloomsburg University, but there's plenty of art to be seen elsewhere on campus.
Professors typically have their students exhibit in the lobby of Old Science Hall. At right, Erica LoPresti's Raggedy Ann was one of the many works shown from art professor Jason Godeke's class. LoPresti's work caught my eye because the lines are strong and confident and with pencil, it's easy to go soft and tentative.
Some other cool places to catch some art on campus: 
  • The main entrance lobby of Kehr Union has cases of pottery from acclaimed masters Shiho Kanzaki and Toshiko Takaezu. Area printmaker Alden Schwarz has a very large print of sunflowers in one of the stairwell. 
  • Of course Andruss Library has priceless Tiffany windows on the second floor facing west. 
  • And though not exactly art, there is a fantastic collection of stuffed birds of prey in the lobby of Hartline Science Center.
Do you have a favorite piece of art on campus? Send me a line.
