FREDRIC SNITZER GALLERY,Fredric Snitzer Gallery is pleased to present a summer group show of forthcoming and recent MFA graduates from Columbia University. This exhibition, comprised of twenty-one emerging artists, highlights a diverse range of culture makers across intersecting disciplines and media.
