The participating artists include alumni, current students, and past and present faculty and staff members of the department, part of TSOA’s Kanbar Institute of Film and Television.

“Transformations” is on view through Nov. 17 at 721 Broadway in the Gulf and Western Gallery (main floor, rear of lobby), the Department of Photography & Imaging Gallery (8th floor), and in the Kimmel Center Windows of LaGuardia Place and West Third Street.
