There was a good turnout at the ASIS Gallery last Friday for the closing reception for Three-Legged Race: The Art of Collaboration. Students, faculty, staff, and friends enjoyed the collaborative works, played Pictionary, ate PB&J and cookie splits, continued to add to the communal drawing on the collaboration wall, and listened to musical covers and collaborations!

We have a lot of changes at Sage Art Center to tell you about.
We welcome a new faculty member this fall. Cary Peppermint is a new media artist exploring environmental issues and convergent media and technologies from an interdisciplinary perspective. His hybrid practice embraces art, theory, engineering, digital media & ecology. The very nature of New Media moves beyond disciplinary boundaries. Cary does this in a conscientious way. He asks students to integrate their creative work with their lives as citizens; customers; social beings. His research asks these questions and he translates this to the classroom. Be sure to look him up at Sage when you’re here and make room in your schedule to take one of Cary’s classes. 
We also welcome our new studio manager Michael Leonard. Michael has ALL of our preferred qualifications for the studio manager position and many attributes that allow us to expand his role in the position and in the department. He holds a Graduate Certificate in Arts Administration from SUNY Brockport, an MFA in photography from Visual Studies Workshop, teaches at the college level, knows Web Design and HTML, has emergency care experience and is first aid and CPR certified and can hunker down behind his desk to do some grant writing if we need him to. Please introduce yourself to Michael when your here.
Last but certainly not least, Sara Dankert joins Sage as our new Departmental Assistant. She has a BFA in Studio Art and a BA in International Studies from SUNY Brockport. Sara also has a MA in art education from Nazareth College. Stop in and meet her any Monday – Thursday morning.
Some of the same old faces are still here too. Allen, Elizabeth, Marni, Heather, Rachael and I (Stephanie) welcome you back and look forward to a great fall semester.
the Sage Blog hibernates in the summer! Have a great summer break!
this week i attended the almost last (..right Robert’s still to come..) of the senior exhibitions. the work was great – the professionalism was a testament to the fact that you are professionals and should feel good about going out into the world with the skills and..savvy you have. this week we also celebrated the end of the year with yet another contest involving food – the delicious, the fundamental, the compact-able TATER TOT. Just how many can you fit in your mouth?
