Binghamton U's arts festival highlights student talent
BINGHAMTON UNIVERSITY (WIVT/WBGH) – Binghamton University is preparing to showcase the artistry and creativity of its students. The university's School of the Arts is holding its second annual Festival of the Arts across two days this week.
The event features the art work of students within the Art and Design, Art History, Cinema, Creative Writing, Music and Theater departments. There will be music, theater, dance and improv performances, hands-on activities for children and adults and plenty of visual art on display.
School of the Arts Founding Director Christopher Robbins says the talent of B-U students has been under-appreciated over the years.
'I've come from a life of working at different art schools all over the world and I have to say that we've got fantastic staff and faculty and students and equipment and studios. So, just making sure people realize what's already here and that it is accessible,' Robbins said.
The festival kicks off Wednesday night from 7:30 to 9:30 with a variety of short bite-sized performances.
Friday it runs from 3 to 9 with full-length performances, films, projection mapping, and open studios. There will be free food and free parking in Lot D next to the giant School of the Arts sign.
