CAZENOVIA — From Feb. 2 through March 17, the faculty of the Cazenovia College Division of Art and Design will present their personal works for the final time in the Art Gallery in Reisman Hall at 6 Sullivan St.
On Dec. 7, 2022, Cazenovia’s nearly 200-year-old college announced its decision to permanently close following the spring 2023 semester due to financial difficulties.
According to Cazenovia College Professor and Art Gallery Director Jen Pepper, the faculty show features the two- and three-dimensional creative works of the following 14 artists:
Steven Brandt, adjunct lecturer, photography
Jo Buffalo, professor emeritus studio art, ceramics
Sarah Cross, photography program director and associate professor of photography
Scott Jensen, program director of visual communications, professor of visual communications
Megan Lawson-Clark, program director of fashion merchandising, professor of fashion merchandising
Elizabeth Moore, professor emeritus of interior design
Jen Pepper, program director of studio art, studio art & art history professor, gallery director
David Rufo, assistant professor of education and education co-program director
Laurie Gilmore Selleck, professor of visual communications
Sharon Bottle Souva, adjunct lecturer, studio art
Allyn Stewart, professor emeritus, visual communications
Karen Steen, fashion design program director, professor of fashion design
Kim Waale, chair, division of art & design, studio art professor
Anita Welych, studio art professor, program director of arts management
“[The faculty exhibition] is usually a biennial event that has been taking place in the spring term for the last fifteen years,” said Pepper. “Due to the college’s closure following the spring 2023 semester, this will regrettably be the final event to see the creative work of so many of our talented faculty who teach at the college.”
According to Pepper, the featured works include quilts, fiber art pieces, a cast glass sculptural installation, photographs, digital works, oil paintings, and pen and ink on paper.
“The media and subject matter diversity is really wonderful, and the exhibition totally announces the voracity of the creative juices and talent that flow through our historical college walls,” Pepper said.
The faculty exhibition will be followed by the college’s Annual Juried Student Exhibition, which will debut with an opening reception on March 24.
The Art Gallery in Reisman Hall is free and open to the public Monday through Friday from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. and by appointment. To make an appointment, contact Pepper at [email protected].
