separate exhibitions in April and May 1999 at the Hillwood Art Museum on
the C.W. Post Campus in Brookville.
The following 17 Master of Art students will have artwork shown: Heather

The Master of Arts exhibition runs from April 12 through 18. An opening
reception will be help on Wednesday, April 14, from 6 to 8 p.m. in the

is the culmination of one year of coursework and a final studio art project
that is offered to full-time day students. Many students choose to complete
their degree over five years through evening course offerings for those
who choose to remain employed full-time yet wish to pursue a graduate degree
in art.
The Master of Fine Arts degree, or MFA, is awarded to students who have
completed a two or three year program of art and extended independent research
in their chosen field. This is the terminal degree in studio art allowing
graduates to teach at the college level.

body of work at the Hillwood Art Museum from April 28 to May 9: Linda Allen
of Hampton Bays, photography; Elena Cardo of Garden City, ceramics; Wen-Chi
