Kathryn Polletta Wins Art Award

2016 Apr 25

Kathryn Polletta of Ossining, 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.

Featured art works were chosen from an open jury process and works entered by the art faculty. Painting, drawing, sculpture, digital print, digital video, and an assortment of mixed media make up this year's offerings.

Polletta received the Golden Artists Colors Inc. Award for a work in oil on canvas titled "Smoothie."
