Art In Spring is here!

Starting yesterday, the fine art people at PSU have taken it upon themselves to help you remember life is about more than the constant internal opposition you feel when confronted with beautiful sunny days and mounting end-of-term projects. Take a moment each day and breathe in the (possibly) sun-soaked air and get a taste of PSU’s excruciatingly talented and underrepresented art community.
