Campus Champion

Switching gears is all in a day's work for Jaroslava Prihodova, a member of the Art and Art History Department and installation preparer at Dowd Gallery. Along with handling, framing, archiving and building fixtures for the artwork featured in up to six exhibitions a year, her own work is on display in the “2015 Art and Art History Faculty Biennial.” In 2000, the young artist from the Czech Republic was invited to SUNY Cortland for a one-month residency. In 2012, she returned to live permanently, continue her studies and multitask her way through the day at the College’s highly regarded cultural resource.
