College of Arts and Architecture alumnus Benjamin Fehl is striving to give public art a home in the tiny town of Milesburg, Pennsylvania, just outside State College. Fehl settled in Milesburg 12 years ago, while attending Penn State, and is now working to make a community sculpture out of what has been dubbed “The Crooked House,” a piece of local history that, despite its structural deterioration, provides insight into the lives of those who inhabited the house starting in 1857.

Bonnie Collura, Penn State associate professor of art, will be one of 40 artists exhibiting at the galleries of the American Academy of Arts and Letters from March 12 to April 12 in New York City.
