The upcoming Bonaventure Arts and Media fair is an opportunity for the university and local community to enjoy all areas of art.
This year's BAM fair will be held Saturday April 19 in the San Damiano Room in Francis Hall. The event is free and open to everyone.
The BAM fair will be a day-long event starting at noon and ending with a concert beginning at 7 p.m.
Bill Boguski, '07, and Rebecca Dahl, '06, formed BAM in 2006 to provide a place for students and the community to talk about music, politics and art, said Catherine Kula, a senior English major and president and head coordinator of BAM.
The money raised in previous years was donated to the Olean Art Space, said Melissa Sloan, a senior English major and vice-president of BAM.
This year, BAM officials are looking for a different organization to donate to.
BAM brings diversity to campus to celebrate the "do-it-yourself" work ethic and independent spirit, Kula said.
Students will be displaying their music and poetry throughout the day, Kula said.
Students Matt Brooks, Mike Ersing and Sean O'Shea plan to perform acoustic sets, along with former students Boguski and John Caceci, Kula said.
The concert is scheduled to highlight bands Ice Cream Social, The Allupons, A Hotel Nourishing, Entropy's End, Shipshape and performer Rebecca Ryskalczyk, Sloan said. The history club, Richard Simpson's Creative Writing poetry class, Animal Rights Advocates and members of the recycling club are also involved in the fair.
The fair is an opportunity for these student groups to show the community what they are about, said Kula.
"BAM is a great opportunity for student groups." Kula said. "It gives all groups an opportunity to display to the crowd what they do. It is a great way for groups to reach out to the students and to recruit students to participate in their group."
Students who attend the BAM fair will get to enjoy local artists, among other things.
