     SUNY Oswego students in the graphic arts and creative writing programs have teamed up for an exhibition titled "Graphic Flash 2" opening Friday, Nov. 8, with a special presentation Tuesday, Nov. 12, on campus.

     The "Graphic Flash" exhibition, following last year's successful debut, will open with a reception from 4-5:20 p.m. Nov. 8 in the Penfield Library lobby. At 6:30 p.m. Nov. 12, readings will take place in the Campus Center auditorium as illustrations project on-screen. The exhibition will run through Dec. 7 in the library.

     Graphic artists from art faculty member Amy Bartell's advanced graphics class illustrated the flash fiction – stories of no more than 1,000 words delivering strong impact – of writers from English and creative writing faculty member Leigh Wilson's advanced fiction-writing course to create what Wilson called "an explosion of creative collaboration, from striking micro-stories to bold and colorful illustrations."

     Both events are free and open to the public. Parking for those without a current SUNY Oswego parking sticker is $1; see oswego.edu/administration/parking for information.
