The Best of SUNY Student Art Exhibition is characterized by the range of media used to create the art. The traditional areas of drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, ceramics, and sculpture are enhanced by the addition of digital imaging and mixed media installations. As a result, the viewer is treated to a spectrum of media being studied by art students within SUNY.
The SUNY student art shows began in 2002 with the goal to bring the work of SUNY’s most talented student artists to a wider audience. This mission is greatly extended by returning the Best of SUNY Student Art Exhibition to the New York State Museum for the third year in a row, where it is seen and enjoyed by thousands of visitors.
