Face of Asia: Steve McCurry Photographs
June 21-August 16, 2009
For more than twenty-five years, photojournalist Steve McCurry has covered areas of international and civil conflict. This exhibition concentrates on his extensive work from Asia, including images from India, Cambodia, Afghanistan, and Tibet. Although clearly tied to the places and people of Asia, McCurry’s haunting photographs take us beyond their vivid locales, providing a glimpse of what he calls the “broader landscape” of the human condition.

Autobahn: A Short-Play Cycle by Neil LaBute
This collection of seven short one-acts shows the range of crossroads that can take place within a car, with results spanning from comical to disturbing -- from a make-out session gone awry to a kidnapping thinly disguised as a road trip, from a reconnaissance mission involving the rescue of a Nintendo 64 to a daughter's long ride home after her release from rehab. All shows are free and contain mature content. The club’s web site is: clubs.psu.edu/norefund
Faith United Church of Christ Centennial Sanctuary and Stained Glass Window Tour
300 East College Avenue
July 9, noon to 4 p.m.
Faith United Church of Christ is one of the most beautiful church buildings in central Pennsylvania. To mark the congregation’s centennial year, the church is offering architecture and stained glass tours of its building in downtown State College.
Faith United Church of Christ was founded in 1909 as Faith Reformed Church. Just prior to the onset of the Great Depression, the congregation decided to build a new sanctuary on the corner of College Ave. and Locust Lane. The church engaged Charles W. Bolton of Philadelphia as the architect of the new building. He had recently returned from England where he had seen a 15th century English Parish church called "Chapel by the Bridge," and decided to model Faith Church after that chapel. In June 1932, the building was completed and dedicated.
The style of the sanctuary is English Gothic, which is characterized by the use of pointed arches and stone tracery. The church’s windows are marked by geometrical tracery, floral decoration, and triangular cusps projecting from the inner sides of the arches.
The stained glass windows follow the best traditions of the windows of the 13th, 14th, and 15th century European churches. Blue and red predominate in the chancel window, which shows Jesus as its central figure with St. Peter on his left and St. Paul on his right. The medallion at the top of this window portrays the Lamb of God carrying a resurrection banner. www.faithucc.info
Faith UCC is an "Open and Affirming" church, welcoming everyone for worship, meditation, and prayer during this time and on Sunday mornings at 9:30 a.m.

Grace, by Ellie Taraborrelli
Zoller Gallery
July 9-10, noon to 5:00 p.m.; July 11, 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.; July 12 noon to 4:00 p.m.
Grace is an exhibition that reveals the permeable memory of childhood experiences through imagery that oscillates between dreams, fantasy, and reality. Within this context, constructs of girlhood, ritual, and innocence are explored through the use of printmaking and three-dimensional forms sewn and cut from wood.
Ellie Taraborrelli holds a Bachelors of Fine Arts degree from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania and will receive her Masters of Fine Arts in printmaking from Penn State University this summer. She has exhibited her work nationally and internationally and was awarded the 2009 College of Arts and Architecture Creative Achievement Award. This is the thesis exhibition for her MFA Degree
