“Senior Studio 2026: Faeloria”
Opens Tues April 7, 12–1pm
Fine Arts 223

On view April 7–8, 11am–4pm

This exhibition presents work by nine artists in ART 491 Senior Studio, the capstone course for senior art majors in the Department of Art & Art History at the University at Albany, SUNY.

Working across photography, drawing, painting, sculpture, animation, collage, printmaking, and installation, these artists use fragmented figures, recurring objects, and symbolic imagery to examine and reframe personal and shared experiences. Their work turns private experience outward, giving form to material expressions shaped by memory, the body, and transformation.
