Peekskill Extension Center Student Show

Student Show at The Westchester Gallery, Westchester Community College Peekskill Extension Center

The Westchester Gallery will be exhibiting a Student Show from December 12, 2018 to February 15, 2019 at the Westchester Community College Peekskill Extension Center. The exhibition features artwork from a variety of disciplines including drawing, graphic design, digital imaging, video, 3D animation, and digital storytelling.

Redeemer, pictured above, is a digital piece by student Adam Travis accompanied by a short essay detailing the artist’s transformational experience as it relates to the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue of Rio de Janeiro. Redeemer received an award from the United Methodist Church and will be featured in the exhibition. Travis explores the meaning of redemption through his visual and written work, “I chose this style because I believe that the cubist style would allow me to convey the idea that redemption and forgiveness does not come all at once, but in small pieces over time just like the way in which this great statue was created piece by piece.”

A wide range of artistic and technical accomplishments will be showcased in the Student Show until February 15, 2019. Come experience what our students have to share. For gallery operating hours and more information about the Peekskill Extension Center, visit www.sunywcc.edu/peekskill.
