Yocum Institute for Arts Education Hosts Yenna Hill Exhibition, Opening Sept. 10th

Yocum Institute for Arts Education is pleased to host an exhibition by Yenna Hill from September 10, 2021 – October 16, 2021. The exhibit is free to the public and features the works of artist Yenna Hill. There will be an Opening Reception on Friday, September 10, 2021 from 5:00-7:00 PM at the Yocum Institute Holleran Gallery located at 3000 Penn Ave, West Lawn, PA 19609.

Yenna Hill grew up steeped in street and pop art and is greatly influenced by her uncle Keith Haring. Influenced by her uncle and her grandfather, Yenna was raised in a family of artists. They all continue to influence her today. She says sometimes her grandmother is in her handwriting, other times various family members show up in her art, like a thumbprint.

She plays with textures, lines and randomization. When asked how she would describe her art, she says, “I do complex line work … I make things with my hands”.

Yenna Hill started out looking at blank spaces and wanting to see lines across them. Creating art is a meditative state for her. “The eye loves symbols. I make playgrounds for the eyes.” –Yenna Hill

This event is free to attend. Masks are required when visiting and please follow posted social distancing guidelines.

I wanted to thank you again for the opportunity you have created for our kids.  This experience is more than the TV show.  Eight students who probably never would have talked to each other were excited to execute a plan. Know that you make a difference.
