...more than ever, we are committed to our mission.

We launched 3 Dots less than one year ago with the aim of inspiring a more vibrant community by (1) promoting local arts, (2) cultivating innovative experiences and (3) offering an inclusive, welcoming community space.

As State College becomes disrupted by COVID19, we are increasingly committed to amplify the arts and foster innovation during the challenges ahead. We recognize our strength in being able to respond quickly and pivot nimbly, so here’s how we are currently responding:

State College Live

Hosted most days at 7p

To support local artists, we have partnered to stream regular concerts, workshops, and performances with a virtual tip jar.

As State College becomes disrupted by COVID19, we are increasingly committed to do what we can to amplify the arts and foster innovation during the challenges our community faces ahead. Here’s how we are addressing these emerging needs:
