SUNY Oswego’s 53rd annual Juried Student Art Exhibition will feature top student work from Feb. 5 to 21, in Tyler Art Gallery at Penfield Library. A free opening reception and awards program will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 12, in the gallery.

Since entry is open to any SUNY Oswego student in any artistic medium, the result is an extremely varied exhibition, said Michael Flanagan, director of Tyler Art Gallery.

Jurors are Cheryl Chappell, owner of Edgewood Gallery in Syracuse, and Trisha Freeman, senior art director at Syracuse agency Pinckney Hugo Group. The Presidential Purchase Prize—outstanding pieces selected each year for the college’s permanent collection—is among the awards.

The Student Art Exhibit Committee organizes the show, and the college’s Student Association supplies funding.

Tyler Hall @ Penfield Library is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays, 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays and 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sundays when the college is in session.

While donations are appreciated, admission is free; parking on the SUNY Oswego campus requires a $1 permit for those without a current campus sticker. For more information on obtaining a permit, visit www.oswego.edu/administration/parking.
