Weight of a Name, documentary photograph by Alli Carroll

CAZENOVIA, NY (04/24/2013)(readMedia)-- The Cazenovia College Art Gallery in Reisman Hall is hosting exhibitions of work by students in the Bachelor of Fine Arts program through the close of the semester. Currently, Bachelor of Fine Arts degree candidates from the Studio Art and Photography programs are showing their work, which includes photographs, photographic installation, sound installation, sculpture, painting and printmaking. The exhibitions and receptions are free and open to the public.

Alli Carroll of Limerick, Maine, is majoring in studio art, specializing in photography, with minors in art history and arts management. Carroll's exhibition runs from May 1 to 4, and has opening and closing receptions: May 1, 4 - 6 p.m. and May 4, 3 - 5 p.m. Carroll's show is titled Glimpse.

Carroll is a graduate of Massabesic High School in Waterboro, Maine. She writes, "I come from a small town and a family full of people who have made a name for themselves. Growing up around this brings great expectations. I made the choice to live up to my family name by doing my best in whatever came my way. What makes me, me, is that choice and the drive to do something great of my own; whether it is creating a business like my great grandparents and grandparents have done, being as incredibly responsible as my father, or being as loving as my mother. Through documentary photography, I photograph the places that have history and that have greatly impacted me since childhood."

Hours during the academic year are: Monday through Thursday, 1-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m.; Friday, 1-4 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday, 2-6 p.m. Summer hours vary.
