On Wednesday, December 11, the Syracuse Florence campus was abuzz with excitement as students, faculty, and guests gathered for the Final Art and Architecture Show. The event showcased the incredible talent and hard work of our students, who have spent the semester creating a diverse array of artistic and architectural pieces.
The exhibition featured a stunning variety of works, from beautiful handmade metal jewelry to intricate architectural sketches. One of the highlights was a wall fresco, crafted using traditional techniques. The creativity and dedication of our students were evident in every piece on display.
This event was also a poignant moment for the Syracuse Florence community as we bid farewell to our beloved restoration professors, Diane Kunzelman and Ezio Buzzegoli. Both have made significant contributions to our program, and their retirement marks the end of an era. Director Sasha Perugini shared heartfelt comments, expressing gratitude for their years of dedication and impact on countless students.
Adding to the evening’s significance, renowned art collector Christian Levitt attended the show, engaging with students and discussing their work before the exhibition opened to the public. His presence was a great honor and provided valuable insights and encouragement to our budding artists.
The turnout was fantastic, with attendees marveling at the brilliant work on display. The atmosphere was filled with pride and celebration, a fitting end to a semester of hard work and creativity.
