Hidden Talents - Faculty and Staff Art Exhibit

Friday, February 21 – Friday, March 21, 2025

This exhibit showcases the creations of our artistically talented SUNY Schenectady community members. While the College has exhibiting Art Faculty, less is known about the artistic talents that exist amongst our own faculty and staff colleagues across the campus community. There are artists and makers of every kind in just about every department on campus!

From jewelry making, tapestry and photography, to illustration, painting and beyond, the breadth of creativity represented in these artists’ works is truly inspiring.

Each work of art in the exhibit is a hidden treasure, and it is our hope that as you explore the essence of each gem in this exhibit, that you discover your own creative spirit and unique hidden talents deep within!

A reception will be held Thursday, March 6, 5:30-7:00 p.m.

About the Rise Gallery Director and Curator

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.
