A total of 49 photographs by 30 Union students were accepted into the 2nd Annual College Photography Exhibition at the Photo Center in Troy, N.Y., designed to give students exposure to the Capital Region arts community and an opportunity to explore new ideas and techniques from their peers.
The juried exhibition drew 250 submissions; 104 were selected. In addition to Union, the exhibit also includes work by students from the University at Albany undergraduate and MFA programs; Bard, Russell Sage and St. Rose colleges; RPI; and other regional colleges and graduate programs.
“Union students had a very strong presence last year, during the inaugural event, and I’m glad to see it continue,” said Professor of Visual Arts Martin Benjamin. “Once again, they fared very well. Two photos by Union students have been purchased from the show, and 12 students had multiple entries accepted.”
There will be an artists’ reception at the Photo Center Friday, April 17, 6-9 p.m. with awards announced at 7 p.m.
The exhibition continues through April 19. For details, go to www.photocentertroy.org.
