As residents of Pennsylvania, the statement, “Pennsylvania is Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Alabama in between,” made by James Carville on Meet the Press, during the heated Democratic primary between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama has become a topic of much discussion.

What you might not be aware of is that this quote has become the  inspiration for one of the most interesting art galleries going on this week in Clarion.
“Pennsyltucky: Are We There Yet,” is an art exhibit going on in Carlson Library this week.

Their art makes use of media from truly every neck of the woods.

The majority of pieces you’ll discover in the gallery showcase the use of acrylic and oil paints, and ink on wood panels.

Each work shows obvious painstaking detail that you can’t help but appreciate, even down to the individual marquee letters scattered around in some paintings, and the intricately painted fences.
The whole gallery is full of such visually engaging pieces, that residents of Western Pa., can easily relate to, regardless of whatever level  chagrin your classiness demands in doing so.

There is even a television set up with an interesting news piece dealing with a bizarre deer display on a Western Pennsylvanian highway, and headphones so you can hear the responses of the locals being interviewed.

The art exhibit seems to poke fun at the idea of “Pennsyltucky,” but does so in a way that you can’t help but agree with.

The gallery will be running until March 5, the last day of classes for the university.
