SUNY Fredonia ushered in a new era of fine arts on Saturday afternoon as it opened its newly renovated art gallery, which coincided with its renaming as the Cathy and Jesse Marion Art Gallery, in honor of Cathy (Calannio) Marion, a Jamestown native and a member of the class of 1979, and her husband, Jesse, who are avid supporters of the arts around the world. The 2,180-square-foot gallery features a movable wall system, climate-controlled space with temperature and humidity control, blonde bamboo flooring, a grand entrance and new office space. "To have an exhibition gallery of this quality, it raises the bar significantly for our entire program," Visual Arts and New Media Chairperson Bob Booth said.
