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.

A selection of works in the "Still Creating" exhibit
University of the Arts: Rest in Peace, by Daniel Rice
"Marshall" by Erik VanHorn
"Shattered IB" by Diane Pepe
"So Much More" by Robert Reinhardt
"Our Work is Far from Done" by Vicky Faye Aquino
In the wake of the unexpected closure of the University of the Arts (UArts) in 2024, the creative community was left with a deep sense of loss. "Still Creating: The UArts Community Lives On" emerges from a shared belief that art can preserve memory, honor resilience, and reconnect people across time and place.
Featuring work by former UArts students, faculty, staff, and alumni, this juried exhibition invites the community to witness the enduring spirit of UArts through the voices and visions of its artists. The Henry Art Gallery is honored to host a space where that spirit can continue to be seen, heard, and celebrated.
