DUBOIS, Pa. — The IDREAM Team at Penn State DuBois is inviting students, faculty, staff, and members of the community to its second annual campus and community art show. This event will celebrate diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging through artwork.

Participants can awaken artistic skills and express what IDREAM means to them. Anyone can register to submit artwork to the show, with registrations needing to be submitted online by Feb. 14. Artwork is then due to the Penn State DuBois Library by Feb. 21. In addition to submitting artwork for the show, the entire DuBois campus community is welcomed to attend the show and see all the submissions in person.

All artwork will be judged and awards will be presented in the following categories:

– Community award for “Best in the Show”
– Faculty and staff award for “Best in the Show”

-Inclusion
-Diversity
-Racial equality
-Equity
-Accountability and awareness
-Multiculturalism

Since its creation, the IDREAM team has used thoughtful planning to position itself to best support students, faculty and staff at Penn State DuBois, as well as the surrounding communities that it serves.
