April 13, 2021 – Stone Ridge, NY – SUNY Ulster is holding a Drive In Arts Exhibition on April 30, 2021 from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. Rain date is May 1 from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. This event is free and open to the public.
On exhibit will be art from SUNY Ulster’s first and second year arts program students including Fashion Design, Fine Art/Visual Art, and Music. When visitors drive onto the SUNY Ulster campus, they will be guided through the outdoor exhibits by directional signage, a printed program, and by dialing into a specifically designated radio station to learn more about the works, educational programs, and to hear the performing ensembles.
The Fine Art/Visual Art program is a foundation-based program preparing students for transfer to four-year institutions or career entry. On view will be first-year student paintings, drawings, photography, design, and printmaking. Second year students will display their transfer/career portfolio projects. Second-year students will be finishing their Bachelor degrees at the School of Visual Arts, SUNY New Paltz, and SUNY Fredonia, among other colleges.
The Fashion Design program will be showing pencil skirts and button down shirts that highlight the pattern-making, sewing, and construction skills by first-year students. Second-year graduating students will show their final collections: a coordinated group of garments with tops, pants, dresses, and coats that include a focus on surface decorations including embroidery, applique, and patchwork. Graduating students will be transferring to the Fashion Institute of Technology, Savannah College of Art and Design or SUNY Oneonta to complete their four-year degrees.
The Music program will feature several of their performing ensembles available to students and community members including the SUNY Ulster Community Band, Jazz Ensemble, College Chorus, and Guitar Ensemble. Some of the four-year institutions music program students are transferring to include SUNY Fredonia, SUNY Potsdam, Ithaca, and Bard.
To keep traffic flowing, interested attendees are required to register and choose a convenient time slot.
