The Friedman Art Gallery
With the opening of the Abram Nesbitt Academic Commons in 2008, Sidney and Pauline Friedman gifted Penn State Wilkes-Barre with the Friedman Art Gallery. This gallery space regularly displays the work of students and local artists, as well as private art collections. The Friedman Art Gallery strives to promote and encourage professional and amateur artists from the Penn State Wilkes-Barre campus and surrounding communities, while giving visitors to the campus the opportunity to view fresh and innovative artwork in a wide range of media.
The Friedman Art Gallery is open to the public, except during holiday breaks, Monday–Friday, 9:00 am–4:00 pm. For questions about the gallery, contact Jonathan Pineno, gallery director, at 570-675-9159 or FriedmanArtGallery@psu.edu.
