Student Art Exhibition Explores ‘Spring’

03/30/2010

SUNY Cortland art students welcomed spring with an exhibition titled “Moist,” which opened on April 1 at Main Street SUNY Cortland’s Beard Building Gallery, 9 Main St.

The exhibition, which runs through Tuesday, April 27, is free and open to the public. The Beard Building Gallery is open from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Conceived by art students in the College’s Art Exhibition Association (AEA), the exhibition is presented by the association and the Cortland Downtown Partnership. Keith Millman, associate professor of new media at Tompkins-Cortland Community College, juried the exhibition.

“As the snow melts, the land is left moist and ready for new beginnings,” explains the AEA President Jason Saunders. “‘Moist’ is the ‘you’ feeling you get when spring arrives. It is like no other. It sparks new ideas and unleashes the artist within.

“This is the loose theme of the exhibition, which its artists address in various ways,” he said.

The gallery is a collaboration between SUNY Cortland, the Cultural Council of Cortland County and the Cortland Downtown Partnership. The Beard Gallery Committee and Art Exhibition Association received a SUNY Cortland President’s Small Grant to support the exhibition.
