Thirteen SUNY Cortland faculty members will display their most recent artistic work during the “2019 Art and Art History Faculty Biennial” exhibition, which opens on Monday, March 4, in the Dowd Gallery.

The exhibition, reflecting a diverse range of studio practices, runs through Saturday, April 6. All Dowd Gallery exhibitions and events are free and open to the public.

The Art and Art History Department faculty members who will display their work teach courses in art history, ceramics, design, drawing, fibers, painting, photography, printmaking, new media and sculpture.

The exhibition offers students the opportunity to view work by their mentors and it gives the campus community and local enthusiasts the chance to contemplate artwork being produced in a wide range of media within the department.

Featured artists include Martine Barnaby, Stephen Alexander Clark, Allison DeDominick, Jeremiah Donovan, Charles Heasley, Hannah Hones, Szilvia Kadas, Jenn McNamara, Scott Oldfield, Jaroslava Prihodova, Vaughn Randall, Wylie Schwartz and Bryan Valentine Thomas.
