Each week a gallery of student art pieces are displayed on the walls of Calkins Hall. These galleries are known as the Hofstra FORM Gallery. This club acts as a great way for students to showcase their work that may have been created in classes or on their own.

The FORM Gallery club promotes student artist and their various pieces of work throughout the school year.

Run by a group of students, the FORM gallery club here at Hofstra has been around since 2008.

The FORM Gallery not only gives students creative license over their artwork, but a venue to display it for friends, faculty and family members alike.

Students such as Princy Prasad have taken great advantage of this platform during her gallery – entitled “Murder” – during the March 18, 2015 gallery showing.

Prasad was able to combine her love for writing and art to display a rather bloody crime scene in the FORM Gallery.

Hofstra’s FORM Gallery does more than just showcase work, stated on their GetInvolvedHU page, “Members of the club also have the unique opportunity of learning about what it is like to run a gallery, from scheduling and contracts, to prepping the space, and participating in a group show with all club members! Members also help organize events with professional artists who the club brings to do shows, talks, and presentations!”

Hofstra FORM Gallery is a great way to see what your fellow students have been working on throughout the year.

Artists such as Matt Aponte, Henry Fuller (known for his #DopeArt), Rebecca Kollmer and Mary-Kate O’ Toole all have showcased their work in this gallery.
