Finals season doesn’t have to mean nonstop stress — take a breather and recharge with us at the Fisher Fine Arts Library! From Monday, May 5 through Thursday, May 8, drop by the library lobby between 1:00 and 3:00 PM for a cozy, creative Study Break designed just for Penn students. 

Fuel up with free snacks and unwind with simple crafts — think DIY bookmarks, relaxing coloring pages, or mini art projects — to help clear your mind and spark some joy. Whether you’re in between study sessions or just need a reason to get out of your zone, these drop-in breaks offer a moment of calm in a hectic week.

This relaxing series is brought to you by the Arthur Ross Gallery in collaboration with the Departments of English, History of Art, Cinema & Media Studies, and Visual Studies — a perfect blend of art, community, and care during finals. 

Come solo or bring a friend and give yourself permission to pause. You’ve got this — and we’ve got snacks.
