The Friends of the Palmer Museum of Art and Harrison's Wine Grill have created a masterpiece fundraiser!
Dine at Harrison's between May 21 and June 3, 2012, and 20 percent of the check before taxes and gratuity will directly benefit the Palmer Museum of Art.
Simply mention intended support of the Palmer, when you enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner at Harrison's inside the Hilton Garden Inn. There is no limit to the number of times you can participate, dine-in or carryout (excluding deliveries). The more that you, your family, and friends enjoy delicious food at award-winning Harrison's, the greater the fundraising benefit to the Palmer. This is truly delicious fundraising! *Gift certificates and Frequent Diner points may not be redeemed in conjunction with any fundraiser. Harrison's Wine Grill & Catering is located at 1221 E. College Avenue, State College, PA 16801.

Gallery talks, concerts, and poetry readings begin in the galleries unless otherwise noted. A greeter will be available in the lobby to direct visitors to the appropriate gallery for all noontime events. All lectures are held in the Palmer Lipcon Auditorium. For after-hours events, doors open fifteen minutes before programs begin. For more information on scheduled events, please call 814-865-7672.
Children's and family programs are partially funded by the James E. Hess and Suzanne Scurfield Hess Endowment for Art Education in the Palmer Museum of Art and the Ruth Anne and Ralph Papa Endowment.
