Across the street from Ithaca College at the Creative Space Gallery (CSG), art students are preparing for the chance to showcase the work they’re proudest of.

Cups of paint and collections of work consume the floors and walls of the South Hill Business Campus’ Creative Space Gallery as students put the finishing touches on their final art projects of their undergraduate studies.

One of Ithaca’s most defining characteristics is its commitment to public art.

A wealthy woman and her maid take in a handsome beggar and go to absurd and hilarious lengths to compete for his love.

Some students sit at a table in the center of the Campus Center’s Klingenstein Lounge, doodling on a large sheet of paper with paint and pastels.

Ithaca College freshman Frankie Walls was sitting in the Rowland Hall lounge, having a study session with her friends when she shared some poems she wrote about female identity and sexual assault.

“This space isn’t only for artwork, it’s also to connect with people who are part of the community,” Armour said.

“In making art, ideally you know what is happening in your world,” Sarah Sutton said. “Understanding current science for art students is really important.”

This week on “In My Own Words,” Glenn Epps spoke with Caleb Thomas, a local muralist and graffiti artist who co-founded Ithaca Murals, a group that connects local artists and muralists with surfaces to paint on.

Patience-testing and ambiguous, “The Square” is a prime example of a filmmaker trying to say far too many things with not nearly enough words.
