Advanced Photography Students Display Their Work
at SUNY Rockland Community College

Suffern, NY - "Spring Photography Show," an exhibit by Rockland Community College's current and former advanced photography students, is on display in the Library Rotunda. 

In preparing this exhibition, students learn that making a photographic print is not the last step in the artistic process.  The Art Department’s students also prepare and present their work for public viewing.  In so doing, they discover that presentation can be one of the most important aspects of creating a finished work—one that can add significance to a print. To fully complete the process of creating a photograph, students come to realize that they must exhibit and show their work for others to see.

All aspects of the exhibit, including curating, framing, installation, designing invitations and planning the opening reception, are done by the College’s art students under the supervision of John Schlesinger, Associate Professor, Art Department.
