The Connors Family Fine Arts Center at Saint Francis University is pleased to announce its Fall 2024 gallery exhibition schedule. This season’s lineup features a diverse array of artists and events aimed at engaging the community through the visual arts.

The Dr. Wayne and Elizabeth Takacs Biology Department is Saint Francis University’s first named academic department, made possible by a generous gift from the Takacs family.

Saint Francis University is thrilled to announce the receipt of two generous grants totaling $130,000 to enhance its newly opened Connors Family Fine Arts Center. These funds, provided by the George I. Alden Trust and the A. J. and Sigismunda Palumbo Charitable Trust, will transform the space into a cutting-edge hub for digital and traditional art exploration.

Approximately 200 people participated, including SFU students, alumni, faculty, administrators, and staff. Students visiting from area colleges also took part along with high school students from the SFU Upward Bound program who played prominent roles.

The Connors Family Fine Arts Center on 181 St. Catherine Street, Loretto, Pa., officially opened with a blessing and dedication ceremony on April 18, 2024. This new 15,000-square-foot space facility is home to the Resinski Black Box Theatre and the University's visual arts, music, and marching band programs.

SFU mock conventions are held every four years for the party that is currently out of the White House. These mock conventions have taken place since 1960, and they have become a tradition on the Saint Francis University campus.

Construction work on the Connors Family Fine Arts Center and Resinksi Black Box Theatre at Saint Francis University is expected to be completed in early to mid-March.
