Stop by Tyler Art Gallery at SUNY Oswego to see the second BFA exhibition of the spring semester! This semi-annual event marks a pivotal moment in the careers of our students as they transition from emerging artists to professional creatives. The BFA exhibitions are a celebration of the students' dedication, creativity, and vision as they make their mark in the art world. Don’t miss the chance to experience the diverse and innovative works that display their unique perspectives.
Throughout the exhibition, each student presents a carefully curated body of work that reflects their artistic journey, demonstrating the culmination of years of study, experimentation, and growth. From conceptualization to installation, our graduates take full ownership of their capstone experience: selecting, preparing, and designing their displays, while also contributing text and imagery for the exhibition catalog.
BFA 2 will be on view May 5-15 with an Opening Reception on Friday, May 8, from 5-7 p.m.
