Arts & Entertainment at Penn State 

Exploring the arts isn’t just about creativity—it’s about connection, community, and personal growth. Whether you’re picking up a paintbrush, visiting a gallery, or joining a campus tradition, engaging with the arts helps you find balance, discover new perspectives, and build the skills that matter far beyond graduation. 

HUB-Robeson Center Galleries

HUB-Robeson Galleries value the transformative power of art and artists. Led-by and for students, we activate the arts in order to address today’s complex questions and serve local and global communities. The gallery and exhibit spaces throughout the HUB-Robeson Center are free for all to visit and explore.

Mindful Making

Mindful Making aims to use the arts and culture to promote mindfulness and community. These programs, designed in collaboration with Health Promotion and Wellness, Student Engagement Programs, and The Center for Performing Arts, are meant to give students the space and the permission to slow down and partake in some self-care.
