The 2012 Best of SUNY Student Art Exhibition presents artwork selected by a panel of jurors from the fall 2011 and the spring 2012 student art exhibitions. The Museum exhibition features a wide range of media used by the students. The traditional areas of drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, ceramics, and sculpture are enhanced by the addition of digital imaging and mixed media installations. The SUNY student art shows were inaugurated in 2002 to bring the work of SUNY’s many talented student artists to a wider audience. The exhibition can be viewed during museum hours from now until September 3, 2012.
