Two year-end student exhibitions — the Annual Juried Student Art Exhibition and the Advanced Study Exhibition — open with a reception and student artist awards ceremony in the Teaching Gallery from 5 to 7 p.m. on Friday, April 19. The exhibitions run through Saturday, May 4.
Sponsored by Department of Fine Arts, Theatre Arts and Broadcast Communications, the reception and the exhibitions are open to the campus community and the public at no charge.
The exhibitions feature class work in painting, drawing, photography, two-dimensional design, video, graphic design, animation and net art completed during summer and fall of 2012 and spring of 2013 by students in the college’s Fine Arts and Digital Media programs. Both exhibitions were organized by students in the college’s Gallery Management program.
This year’s guest juror, Amy Cheng, is a professor at the State University of New York at New Paltz. Cheng has completed numerous commissions, including works at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and the 25th Avenue Subway Station in Brooklyn, NY, and holds an MFA from Hunter College and a BFA from the University of Texas.
Students whose work is represented in this year’s advanced exhibition, “The Real Issue is Freedom,” are Thomas Brisson, Chad Coumbes, Kelsie De Chantal, Kristin Diodonet, Maxwell Goodknight, Anneliese Holmes, Raechael Inglis, Andrea LaRose, Benjamin Roy, Patrick Staltari, Christopher Tofinchio and Rebecca Vitarelle. Advanced study in drawing and painting is an academic year-long course of guided study for students who have completed foundation arts courses and wish to pursue their own body of work.
The Teaching Gallery, on the ground floor of the Administration Building, is open Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.; Wednesday, 1 – 7 p.m.; Saturday, 12 – 4 p.m.. It is closed Sunday and Monday.
