ALTOONA, Pa. — Penn State Altoona will host “Local Mythos,” a juried exhibition organized by Penn State Altoona students currently enrolled in Art 365 and Art 496, from Feb. 15 through March 21, in the McLanahan Gallery of the Misciagna Family Center for Performing Arts. The exhibition is free and open to the public. A reception will take place Wednesday, Feb. 28, from 6 to 8 p.m.

“Local Mythos” explores the rich tapestry of stories, legends, myths, and cultural narratives that define local communities, personal histories, identity, and shared universal truths. The exhibition invites artists to delve deep into the lore of their hometowns, regions, or cultural heritage to bring forth works that evoke, reinterpret, challenge, and celebrate these stories.

The Galleries are open Mondays through Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For further information, call the Misciagna Family Center for Performing Arts at 814-949-5452.
