Denton Crawford​
In this body of work, I am combining and building on previous themes and visual strategies that create personalized accounts of experience and explore the boundaries between logic and belief. I take visual cues from psychedelia, mysticism, abstraction, political patriotism, and the absurd to create space where conflicting ideologies can live in visual harmony. I want to give the viewer a moment that they will not forget.

mission
Through its well-trafficked location at the entrance of the Art and Music Library, Frontispace engages the UR community with thought-provoking exhibitions. The gallery’s year-round schedule and summer residency program stimulate dialogue and connect the university to the broader Western New York artistic landscape, with a focus on local and emerging artists working in a variety of media. The gallery also serves the Art and Art History Department by hosting special exhibitions of work by visiting artists, seniors, and alumni.
​
our name
Our gallery takes its inspiration from the frontispiece, traditionally an illustration facing the title page of a book that sets the tone for the contents within. With its rotating exhibitions, Frontispace invites visitors to pause and reflect as they pass through the entryway to the Art and Music library.
