The diverse range of studio practices offers a glimpse into the research and craft of individual faculty and staff members with SUNY Cortland's Art and Art History department, according to Scott Oldfield, interim director of Dowd Gallery.
"Viewers can engage with projected installations and view a range of recent expressive works in the disciplines of sculpture, ceramics, fibers, photography, printmaking, digital media, painting and drawing," Oldfield said.
"Featured artworks explore individual practices that shape the methodology and innovation for students of contemporary studio arts."
In addition, there will be a series of events hosted by the artists. All events below will begin at 5 p.m. in the gallery, unless noted otherwise.
Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday; 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday; and by appointment. The gallery is closed on weekends.
