Whether it's engaging students in his studio art courses to explore such subjects as color theory and textures, or bringing people together for local art exhibits through Capital Region-based Black Dimensions in Art, Inc., Stephen J. Tyson Sr., longtime Fine Arts Faculty Member in the Division of Liberal Arts and Art Gallery Director/Curator, never underestimates the power of art and community.
