Visual Communications Student, Jamie Sciortino to Exhibit Design Work

2012 Mar 29

The Cazenovia College Art Gallery in Reisman Hall is hosting the annual Bachelor of Fine Arts Exhibitions now through May 1. The exhibition includes work by visual communications, studio art, photography and interior design degree candidates from Cazenovia College's Division of Art and Design.

The visual communications students' exhibition, titled "PANTONE PARTY, an Overdose of Color," runs from March 28 through April 10, with an artists' reception on April 5 from 4 to 7 p.m., in the gallery.

Among the students exhibiting work is Jamie Sciortino, of Smithtown, N.Y., who is majoring in visual communications. Sciortino created Moxie Cafe! A cafe with a bold eclectic feel, showing lots of moxie! Sciortino says, "I am branding this made up coffee company, and will be displaying packaging and identity through napkins, cups, coffee bags and even sugar packets. My portfolio ranges from corporate logo branding, to illustrated posters such as a poetry reading of Allen Ginsberg and also advertising for Travel Oregon! "

Sciortino says she is not sure of her goal after graduation. "At this point I have decided wherever I can get a job I will further explore that area! I'm not settling ever. At Cazenovia I have learned not to be afraid to ask questions, and use everything around me that I possibly can for inspiration - most importantly, my peers."

The Cazenovia College Art Gallery in Reisman Hall is located on the corner of Sullivan and Seminary streets, one block from Albany Street (Route 20). Exhibitions and receptions at the gallery are free and open to the public. The building is handicap accessible.

Gallery hours during the academic year are: Monday – Thursday, 1 to 4 p.m., and 7 to 9 p.m.; Friday, 1 to 4 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, 2 to 6 p.m. Visit www.cazenovia.edu/art-gallery for more information.
