In memory of artist and founder of Union College’s Visual Arts Department, the Arnold I. Bittleman Memorial Prize honors a student who has studied drawing in the Visual Arts department and whose work, in the judgment of an outside juror, is outstanding.
Visual Arts photography students along with Frank Rapant and Rachel Stern have artwork in an exhibition at Baxter Street Camera Club of New York on view in Manhattan. You can learn about the exhibition on the Visual Arts photography Instagram.

The Union College Visual Arts Department was recently featured in a WAMC story. Listen here.
The Department of Visual Arts is committed to the centrality of art in the liberal arts at Union College. We do so from a position unique among other departments on campus. Already by nature interdisciplinary, the department has in recent years increasingly become a dynamic intersection of scholarly undertakings and teaching initiatives across the campus. Our vision is to strengthen the multiple connections between ourselves and other academic departments and to reach beyond the campus to develop relationships with other arts institutions. Our vision is to continue to bridge the past, present, and future for our students through painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, printmaking, digital art, and art history. Our vision, in short, is to enrich the Union College community through art.
