The Edith Langley Barrett Art Gallery at Utica College is pleased to present “IMPACT! Works by Jon Bellona” beginning Thursday, September 19, 2019

Bellona has received awards through the Mozilla Community Gigabit Fund, the Oregon Community Foundation Creative Heights Grant and the Jefferson Trust. He has served as a University of Virginia Presidential Fellow in Data Science, an Environmental Resilience and Sustainability Fellow and an Art & Environmental Action Scholar. He earned his master’s and doctoral degree from the University of Virginia, his master’s of music from University of Oregon, his bachelor’s degree from Hamilton College and a diploma from the Conservatory of Recording Arts & Sciences.
