Allison Graff, the program director at the Schweinfurth Memorial Art Center in Auburn, N.Y., juried the “Student Select 2011” exhibition.
“The ‘Best of Select’ is an annual event at the Beard Gallery,” says Megan Morris, president of AEA. “It is an opportunity for Cortland art students to benefit from a wider audience for their work beyond the campus.”
The Beard Building Gallery in historic downtown Cortland is a collaboration between SUNY Cortland, the Cultural Council of Cortland County and the Cortland Downtown Partnership. The gallery is open to visitors between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
