Says
Gallery Curator Tricia Fagan, "We welcome the opportunity to
introduce these emerging artists to art enthusiasts in our community.
This is one of our largest shows ever, and still is just a sampling
of all the art that is created by students studying in our Fine
and Visual Arts programs . Viewers will be amazed by the breadth
and depth of this exhibit."
The winning design for the show's marketing postcard was created
by Visual Arts student Cynthia Rivera. Five additional students
created winning posters, which will publicize the exhibit around
the campus. They are: Steven Biroc, James Pitonyak, Eli Rivera,
Paul Toncgo and Sharon Uveges.
