•Jessica Rommelt doesn't have
much trouble creating paintings,
sculptures and ceramic work.
The real difficulty, she said, is
in finding somewhere to exhibit
them.
Rommelt (senior-art) said gal
lenes like those in the IH'B
Robeson Center are usually
reserved for students in Penn
State's masters program or dis
tinguished artists.
Instead, undergraduates are
typically relegated to showcasing
their work in rooms in on-campus
buildings like the Borland
rules for living to an overcrowded
lecture hall in 100 Thomas
Building.
100 Thomas is made to seat 726
students but more than 900

Clemente entered the room to a
standing ovation and was over

The turnout outdid his speech
earlier in the afternoon in the

Rommelt said.
Rommelt and her roommate
Anna Brewer had an exhibit in
Borland several weeks ago, but
both said it didn't meet the stan
dards for a proper art show.
"We couldn't touch the walls in
Borland, and the building had the
most bizarre lighting and floor,"
Brewer (junior-arts and architec
ture) said. "The point of the
gallery is to be invisible so what
ch aws attention is the work."
On top of that, it's harder to
generate a large gallery audience
