This July, the Division of Continuing Education curated our first ever “SVACE Student Summer Showcase” at the Flatiron Project Space in Chelsea. We sent out an open call to our student body asking for artwork to be considered for a group show. We wanted to get a fresh look at the creativity of our students, present the opportunity to exhibit work and connect with our community. The artwork started rolling in, and we were thrilled by the response.

The works submitted represented the incredible diversity and talent of our Continuing Education community. For the final choices of the showcase, we aimed to represent the unique perspectives of our artists and the variety of our course offerings. We were pleased to showcase the following artists: Raquel Adler, Eve Bayer, Michael Dispensa, Judith Hugentobler, Anne Keating, Dietrich Kleffel, Laura Kmetz, Yingyao Liang, Song Lu, Silvia Muleo, Christine O’Brien-Mase, Eric Patel, Sarah Schlick, Erik Schurink, Orli Swergold, Harrison Tenzer and Sato Yamamoto.

These artists presented many art forms–mixed media, ceramics, Risograph printing, collage, painting, illustration, video art, fabrication, photography, etching, woodblock printing, soft sculpture, biological imaging, and more.

To be able to connect both our division with the artists and the artists with each other, was extremely rewarding. We have high hopes for another showcase, and we want you to be involved! To stay up-to-date with announcements and exhibition opportunities, visit sva.edu/subscribe.
