SUNY Plattsburgh Art Museum recently hosted the 2026 B.A. Art and Design Senior Show at the Myers Fine Arts Building, showcasing the capstone projects of graduating art students. The exhibition featured a diverse range of media, including ceramics, sculpture, painting, and textiles, with notable works such as Kate LaPoint’s fiber art and Alexis Adamkowski’s botanical-themed figurative paintings. Curated by Museum Director Tonya Cribb and the art faculty, the show served as a formal introduction to professional gallery standards for the emerging artists.
This exhibition represents a critical bridge between academic study and the professional art world, providing students with the opportunity to develop their unique artistic voices and navigate the logistics of public display. By emphasizing themes ranging from sexual liberation to environmental aesthetics, the show highlights the role of regional university museums in fostering local talent and providing a platform for serious contemporary discourse within a community setting.
