Sales of artwork created by State University at Fredonia Department of Visual Arts and New Media students have provided a financial boost to Literacy Volunteers of Chautauqua County, a non-profit that provides tutoring services in reading, math, English language and other subjects.
The spring semester art sale, held in-person on April 19 at the Williams Center Multipurpose Room, generated $2,215 for Literacy Volunteers. Students donated the proceeds on Wednesday, April 28.
“It went really well, better than the sale last semester,” said Angeline Ginsberg, a junior majoring in Ceramics from Lindenhurst and one of the show’s organizers.

Tim Frerichs, State University at Fredonia Department of Visual Arts and New Media professor, gave an artist presentation, “Bloom Maps,” at the first annual AART International Anatolian Art Symposium, hosted by Anadulo University, Eskisehir, Turkey, recently.
The presentation focused on the content, methodology and process of creating the 10 works that comprise the series. Mediums employed by Frerichs include larger scale papermaking, paper pulp painting, collage on vintage U.S. Army survey maps and intaglio monoprinting. The series is part of Frerichs’ large project, “Navigation: Lake Erie/The Great Lakes,” that Frerichs exhibited at the Morgan Conservatory in Cleveland. The project will also be exhibited at the Burchfield Penney Art Center in Buffalo in 2022.
