Congratulations Red Dragons, class of 2026! The Capstone Show opened with Commencement and we had so much fun showing off your hard work to friends and family!! In our new, annual tradition, we'll be spending the summer highlighting each student's work from the show, including both Digital and Studio Capstone.

First, we're sharing Digital Capstone student and recent Gallery Intern, Zoe Zappala's (.scribble) work, The Launch of Se Estira! Zoe wrote and illustrated a full length comic about a young superhero named Se Estira. She had professionally printed comics to read, a large poster, and stickers to take. Look out for Zoe Zapp at comic stores in the near future, including a lucky signing near Poughkeepsie (Zoe, tell us where in the comments!)

Generously funded through the Student Research and Creative Activities Grant (SRCA) via the Foundation at SUNY Oneonta. Thank you to our donors and fantastic staff!

Of course, this installation has already changed since these photos were taken...as with any show, the photographs are one of the few things left after the exhibition ends. However, with Day of the Deer, each photo documents a moment in time over a year long show before the installation grows again. It's an exploration of process, discovery and curiosity, and odocumentation.

In other news, the Galleries may be largely closed over the summer but this installation will remain open! If you're visiting campus on a tour, for an event, or just hanging out, come by and chill on the couch, dance in the "grass," and look at the art 🦌.

Day of the Deer | Alissa Walls
Open Space Gallery
On view: February 9 -December 13, 2026
Reception: Thursday, September 24, 5-7 p.m.

Day of the Deer is a year-long, process-oriented installation by artist and art historian, Dr. Alissa Walls (SUNY Oneonta Art Department, Assistant Professor of Art History | ). It stands as a unique exhibition in that it seeks no clear beginning or end. Over the course of the year, Walls will add new elements each day to inspire people to return often as she transforms the Open Space Gallery into a playful and uncanny environment with sacred offerings, real and representational deer, found and purchased objects, and numerous drawings, prints, painting, sculptures, and projection. This installation breaks material boundaries, encourages play, and invites viewers to broaden their understanding of what art is, how it can be pursued, and what topics it can explore while alluding to the potential to break social, cultural, and ideological barriers. Day of the Deer poses challenging questions about dominant social structures, cultural hierarchies, and the relationship between the natural world and the built environment in the age of the Anthropocene. These topics become approachable and accessible in an atmosphere of creativity, fun, and exploration.

Funding Generously provided by the SUNY Oneonta Faculty Research & Creative Activity Grant program.

Welcome to finals week red dragons! We're over in Fine Arts installing the Capstone and reminiscing about the amazing reception two weeks ago for the Juried Student Show. Don't forget, if you haven't collected your work yet from that show, you need to before you leave for the summer!

Good luck on finals, essays, and assignments 🤞.

Slow changes over many days, this time of year always has us thinking about that: over a show, a semester, a year...four years. Today's the last day of classes, Sat is the last day of Change is the Only Constant, a very apt show for graduation season. We'll be open tomorrow from 11am-4pm, don't miss the incredible work by Tessa DeLisio (), Anjali Malcomson (.4li), and Sidney Rabeck ()!

We're installing the Capstone Show next week while you wrap up finals and enjoy the spring weather with your friends. For our graduating seniors, come by the Martin-Mullen after you walk to check out the show and celebrate your peers one last time!

Change is the Only Constant | Tessa DeLisio, Anjali Malcomson, and Sidney Rabeck
Project Space Gallery
On view: April 14 - May 9, 2026

In Change is the Only Constant, the nuance and uncertainty of life's major stages are represented in a semi-chronological cycle of life. Every piece of the natural world operates cyclically, from the interaction of the moon's phases with our bodies, to the rise and fall of the tides, the coming and going of the seasons, and the rotation of the earth. We, as humans, are not separate from this; each of our trajectories in the larger cycle of our lives coincides with the consistent rhythm of change. Change is the only constant - it is the paradoxical nature of the life cycles we all exist within. What will we hold onto through these transitions? Even reminders of the past are subject to the inevitability of transformation; photographs will fade as surely as memories. As artists, we capture moments that help us carry pieces of our lives with us. We experiment with time, asking questions like: How long can this stay? How will it change? This mixed media exhibition explores these questions and the cyclical nature of our lives through time-based media, narrative prints, and symbolic ceramics and sculptures, asking viewers to reinterpret their relationship with time, change, and the expected and unexpected events that tie us all together.

It's the last week of classes and the last week to visit Change is the Only Constant, our three person student show in the Project Space Gallery! We don't know where the spring semester went, but we do know we've been having a great time! Come by the de-stress and see some great art, we're open through Saturday, 11am-4pm.

Featuring work by Tessa DeLisio (), Anjali Malcomson (.4li), and Sidney Rabeck ()
