Hudson Valley Community College’s Department of Fine Arts, Theatre Arts and Digital Media announces two, year-end student exhibitions — the Annual Juried Fine Arts Student Exhibition and the Advanced Study in Drawing and Painting Exhibition – to be on view in the college’s Teaching Gallery from March 31 through April 8.
The exhibitions are celebrated with an opening reception and awards ceremony from 5 to 7 p.m. on Friday, March 31 in the Teaching Gallery, located on the ground floor of the Administration Building on the Troy campus. In addition to department awards, four awards underwritten by Arlene’s Artist Materials are announced. The reception and exhibitions are open to the public, free of charge.
The juried exhibition includes works by students pursuing an Associate in Science degree in Fine Arts, who submit paintings, drawings, photography and 2-D design completed in summer 2016, fall 2016 and spring 2017. Guest juror is Mindy McDaniel, a photographer with a BFA in studio art from Florida State University and an MFA in photography from Ohio State University. She is an associate professor of Art + Extended Media at the Sage College of Albany.
Advanced Study in Drawing and Painting is two semesters of guided study for students who have completed foundation art courses and wish to pursue their own body of work. This year’s exhibition, entitled “The Insane Have Always Loved Me,” includes work by Ciarah Arghnian, Makenna Ashley, Hailey Ballard-Smith, Sasha Blanket, Olivia Deep, Katherine Eisenried, Echo Goff, Olivia Hackett, Andrea Hulseapple, Danielle Ruf, Zachary Sicard and Emma Teal.

Both exhibits are planned, coordinated and installed by students enrolled in Gallery Practicum — Exhibition Planning and Preparation. Teaching Gallery exhibits are supported by the Department of Fine Arts, Theatre Arts and Digital Media with assistance from the Cultural Affairs Program, and receive reception funding from the Hudson Valley Community College Foundation and the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs.
