On May 7, the Br. Kenneth Chapman Gallery at Iona College held a gala reception of student artwork entitled “Accumulation 2015: The Student Exhibition.” The evening was a celebration of student artwork shared by proud friends, family and faculty. It was especially poignant as those present said goodbye to longtime Visual Arts Faculty member, Stanley Lapa. He co-created and installed his final Accumulation exhibi- tion. His creation and legacy will continue on. Photo upper left: Jamal Jackson and art professor and co-curator Sheila Kriemelman. Jamal won the The Diana Lorieo-Canales Memorial Award which goes to an Iona student artist for outstanding achievement in visual art. Presented by Jacqueline Lorieo (sister-in-law).
