The Henry Gallery

The Henry Gallery strives to be a cultural asset for Penn State Great Valley and the local community. The Henry Gallery’s exhibition program focuses on group shows of local and regional arts and artists and the community organizations that support and encourage their work.

The gallery opened in 2010 and is named for Joseph and Marilyn Henry who made a major gift to expand its facilities, art acquisitions, and programs in January 2013.

The Henry Art Gallery is located on the second floor of the Penn State Great Valley Conference Center and is open to the public Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The Henry Art Gallery is closed on weekends and University holidays. Additionally, the Conference Center is occasionally rented out to private clients, which may result in temporary closures of the building to the public.

Current Exhibit

Our House is on Fire

October 21 - December 18

Join us in celebrating the power of art to inspire environmental action and advocate for a greener, healthier future!

Artists are often inspired by nature and create art out of the outstanding natural beauty all around us. We are now at a critical juncture where we need to advocate for harnessing our imagination, wealth, and technology to make our communities and our country greener and healthier places for everyone to live. Recently the Supreme Court curtailed the powers of the EPA to protect the environment, no longer requiring the reductions in emissions that are urgently needed to limit global warming. What are we to do?

We need clean air, clean water, clean energy, open spaces and a livable climate for ourselves and future generations. Linda Dubin Garfield, Fran Lightman Gibson, Pamela Tudor, Elsa Wachs, and Chantal Westby interpret these catastrophic times and present works in their own visual language that strive to create an appreciation for natural beauty and a concern for its preservation.
