Join ARTSwego and the Department of Art & Design for a meet and greet with SUNY Oswego’s Fall 2025 Artist-in-Residence, Dahlia Bloomstone! Help us welcome Dahlia to our campus and hear about her work and her plans for the residency.

Dahlia (Colón; matronymic maiden name) Bloomstone is a Puerto Rican/American artist and Hunter College MFA graduate with a BFA from Bard College. Dahlia has developed a body of work rooted in video, which has evolved to encompass animation, video games, sculpture, code, dance, film, sound, and performance. However, her focus for the past two years has been on video games. Her practice explores domesticity, joy, respectability politics, social value, and mutual aid.

She has exhibited with Hauser & Wirth, Beverly's, Rhizome, and Mass Gallery, among others. Dahlia has received prestigious grants and fellowships, including the SPCUNY Actionist grant from the Mellon Foundation and a Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture fellowship. She is a co-founder of New Uncanny Gallery in New York.

Currently, Dahlia is Adjunct Professor of Contemporary Art at Ramapo College and a participant in the Whitney Museum of American Art Independent Study Program (ISP). Dahlia will be joining us for the Fall 2025 semester and will be teaching a New Media Special Topics course titled "Nonlinear Agential Worldbuilding: The Internet, Technology, and Labor."
