Eagle Eye:  Photography by Niagara University faculty, staff and employees*

 Castellani Art Museum

October 25, 2018 – April 28, 2019

*The call for works for the exhibition is open to all full and part-time non-student employees at Niagara University, including individuals who work for our contracted services vendors.

Have you ever imagined you would have your photography displayed in an art museum? Here is a golden opportunity to share your creativity and photographic eye with a wider audience.  Our visitors come from throughout Western New York, around the country, Canada and beyond. Subject matter does not need to be of or about the university.  Your work may be representational (realistic), abstract or digitally modified—as long as it is in the photography medium. Select artworks will be included in a feature story on the Niagara University news site. In addition to Judges’ Awards, there will also be a Viewer’s Choice Award (announced at close of exhibition in April, 2019).

*The call for works for the exhibition is open to all full and part-time non-student employees at Niagara University, including individuals who work for our contracted services vendors.
