Internationally renowned American artist and designer Luba Lukova is regarded as one of the most original image-makers working today. Whether by using an economy of line, color and text to pinpoint essential themes of humanity or to succinctly visualize social commentary, her work is undeniably powerful and thought-provoking.

The exhibition, "Drawing on the Susquehanna: 4 Centuries of Artistic Inspiration and Commerce", was scheduled to open on April 18, 2020 at the Lore Degenstein Gallery. The work in this exhibition is part of a comprehensive survey of artistic works and artifacts featuring the Susquehanna River, curated by artist Rob Evans. Evans has a personal history and connection to the river, and has shared his research and insights into the historical influences it has had on civilization... for the last 4 centuries. His research begins with Native Americans living in the Susquehanna Valley and continues to the present day. Included here is a sampling of the extraordinary work in the exhibition. Since we were unable to have a physical exhibition due to the Covid-19 pandemic, here is the link to the material on Rob Evans’ webpage: https://www.robevansart.org/drawing-on-the-susquehanna-cata

Needless to say, it was a major disappointment to have our last 2 exhibitions of the year cancelled because of the Covid-19 virus pandemic. It was especially heartbreaking for our senior graphic design and studio art majors to miss out on their capstone experience at the Lore Degenstein Gallery. Here is the talented group of graphic design and studio art majors at Susquehanna University:... Jason Card, Graphic Design Melissa Campbell, Graphic Design Sydnie Chin, Graphic Design Corrine Crooker, Graphic Design Ally Delone, Studio Art Maggie Fanelli, Photography Randy Gibson, Graphic Design Joseph Harps, Graphic Design Alyson Lawrence, Graphic Design Emily Mitchell, Photography Katherine Price, Studio Art Angelica Ramos, Photography Charles Riley, Graphic Design Audrey Reynolds, Graphic Design Rachel Saint, Graphic Design Tyler Troup, Graphic Design We wish them well!
