We are pleased to announce that the Larry Berk Artists-in-Residence for Spring 2008 will be the internationally known photographer Elliott Landy . Landy will exhibit a selection of his photography in the College's Muroff-Kotler Visual Arts Gallery form March 13 through April 11, 2008. There will be a slide lecture in the Vanderlyn Student Lounge at 7:00 pm, followed by an opening reception in the Gallery, on March 13, 2008. During the spring semester, Landy will also host three talks, open to the public.

The Artist-in-Residence Program
at SUNY Ulster began in the Spring of 1999. The goal of the
program is to celebrate the rich arts culture in this community
and to give SUNY Ulster students and the general public the
opportunity to enjoy and appreciate all forms of arts and
to make the arts a part of their own lives. In 2007, the program was renamed the Larry Berk Artist-in-Residence Program to honor the memory of Larry Berk,
for his extraordinary work in creating several series of cultural, intellectual and artistic programs that are unique among New York State’s community colleges. These have included the Artist in Residence Series, Library Writers Series, the annual Poetry Forum and a Visiting Artists Series.
This unique program brings an established local artist to campus for an entire semester. The chosen artist presents a series of events, open to the public, during the semester. Many of the special evening events, hosted by the Artist-in-Residence, will feature additional guest artists of world renown, invited to SUNY Ulster by the Artist-in-Residence. The Artist-in-Residence Program offers students and community members a chance to work with, and learn from, active artists.
