The gallery features paintings by Brian Bishop during an exhibit called “[pause]” scheduled for Oct. 26 through Nov. 21. Bishop's paintings attempt to pinpoint the overlap between opposites, such as the intangible and the tangible, the conceptual and the visceral, the forgotten and the remembered. Some of his inspiration comes from snapshot photography, surveillance films and portraiture study.

Bishop recently exhibited his work at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery. An opening reception for “[pause]” is scheduled for 4:30-6:30 p.m. on Oct. 28, with a gallery talk by Bishop scheduled at 5:30 p.m. The exhibit is part of the Current View Artist Series.

The gallery will host “Exalting Everyday Elements,” an exhibit of paintings by the late David Armstrong, from Dec. 2-17. This popular exhibit returns to The Gallery at Penn College for a third year. Originals and reproductions will be available for sale to benefit the Pennsylvania College of Technology Foundation, which will use a portion of the proceeds from the sale of these works for annual scholarship awards and endowed scholarship funds to benefit Penn College students.

The gallery will open “60 x 60,” a collection of small prints from Purdue University Galleries, on Jan. 10. The exhibit will run through Feb. 3. A travelling retrospective of contemporary prints acquired from Purdue University Galleries' biennial small-print exhibition, “Sixty Square Inches,” the exhibit includes 60 images – no larger than 60 square inches – from a broad range of artists working in a variety of printmaking techniques including etching, engraving, lithograph, woodcut and intaglio.

An opening reception for “60 x 60” is scheduled for Jan. 20 from 4:30-6:30 p.m. The exhibit is part of the The Gallery at Penn College's Current View Artist Series.

The gallery will host “Beauty, Vulnerability and Inevitability,” paintings by Ed Wong-Ligda, from Feb. 10 through March 6. The exhibit comprises three separate but related bodies of work that examine beauty, vulnerability and the inevitability of change.

One group depicts scars that are markers of conflict or medical intervention, the second group uses theatrical scars as metaphors, and the third explores how pregnancy changes the roles and relationships of women. Wong-Ligda is a professor of illustration at Grand Valley State University in Michigan.

An opening reception for “Beauty, Vulnerability and Inevitability” is scheduled for Feb. 10 from 4:30-6:30 p.m., with a gallery talk by the artist at 5:30. The exhibit is part of the Current View Artist Series.

“Transcendence,” an exhibit of photographs by Nick Johnson, will be featured at the gallery from March 17 through April 9. Working exclusively with a large-format camera, Johnson's photographs portray manipulated rock and flagstones that resemble abstract landscapes. A fine-art photographer for more than 30 years, Johnson teaches at the New England School of Photography and is the director of the school's Center for Photographic Exhibitions.
