Closing the Gap: Professional Practices for Women in the Visual Arts will be held Nov. 13-15 in Clayton, N.Y., located in the Thousand Islands region.

Made possible by a gift from the estate of Bethea S. Owen ’43, an artist and alumna of SU:VPA, the all-expenses-paid retreat is designed to provide juniors, seniors and graduate students in the college’s School of Art, School of Design and Department of Transmedia with tips, tools and techniques to advance their careers, whether their next steps are to find gainful employment or start their own businesses.

A Print in Time asks artists to contribute a series of prints that create a narrative or body of work. A series can be defined as a body of work with a central concept or narrative. A narrative can be left open to interpretation, and may not necessarily reflect representational work. 

All traditional printmaking techniques such as lithography, woodcut, intaglio, etc. are eligible; as well as mixed media, photography, and works that explore the concept of making prints.
