Exhibition

SVA presents “ILLO/COMX Preview,” an exhibition of work by BFA Comics and BFA Illustration graduates from the class of 2024. The exhibition will be on view from Thursday, September 12, through Tuesday, September 24, at the SVA Flatiron Windows, 133 West 21st Street, New York City. 

“ILLO and COMX Preview” showcases the upcoming BFA Illustration and BFA Comics year-end publication, which features some of the best senior pictorial and storytelling accomplishments from the programs’ most recent graduates, as well as conversations between esteemed faculty and alumni, and thought-provoking essays from industry luminaries.

“We are bursting with pride at the accomplishments of our students,” writes Jason Little, cartoonist and BFA Comics Program Coordinator. “I had the privilege and honor of seeing [them] prioritize [their] individuality and move beyond a compulsion to conform to the stylistic norms that dominate social media… My highest priority as a teacher is to lead each student to individual stylistic excellence on their own terms.” 

Esteemed senior faculty from the exhibiting departments includes Josh Bayer, Nicholas Bertozzi, Steve Brodner, Joshua Cochran, Jensine Eckwall, Lisk Feng, Viktor Koen, Cecilia Ruiz Lopez, Anthony Macbain, Marvin Mattelson, Lily Padula, David Roman, Jonathan Rosen, Matthew Rota, Doug Salati, Yuko Shimizu, Vesper Stamper, Sarah Vaccariello and Sam Weber.

The SVA Flatiron Windows Gallery is open Monday through Saturday, 10:00am–6:00pm.
