Briela Tollisen of Albany, NY, was one of 23 SUNY Oneonta students selected to receive awards for artwork displayed in the college's Annual Student Juried Art Exhibition.

The exhibition, featuring more than 100 works by student artists, opened April 11 and runs through May 14 in the college's Martin-Mullen Art Gallery. Awards, which are funded by the College at Oneonta Foundation, were presented at a reception on April 17.
