The Arts at Bucknell Facilities & Resources

Facilities & Resources

"The gallery is an amazing resource for Bucknell. Each show is so different from the next: one on paintings, the next on sculpture, another an installation piece. It gives you a chance to see what’s going on in the professional world — see what they’re doing, and in what direction they’re going."
