Americans Who Tell the Truth: Models of Courageous Citizenship
University Lectures

Price: Free
Panasci Lounge, Schine Student Center
Syracuse University, Syracuse

Not only is noted painter Robert Shetterly coming to Syracuse University, he is bringing along the full collection of his masterwork portrait series "Americans Who Tell the Truth: Models of Courageous Citizenship," which marks the first time ever all 235 pieces will be displayed publicly in one location.

The portraits and accompanying narratives highlight citizens who courageously address issues of social, environmental and economic fairness. Combining art and other media, the series "offers resources to inspire a new generation of engaged Americans who will act for the common good, our communities, and the Earth."

Among the historical and contemporary figures portrayed in the collection are Muhammad Ali, Susan B. Anthony, James Baldwin, Majora Carter, Shirley Chisholm, Dwight Eisenhower, Langston Hughes, Van Jones, Martin Luther King Jr., Naomi Klein, Ron Kovic, Oren Lyons '58, Arthur Miller, Ralph Nader, Paul Robeson, Edward Snowden, Mark Twain, Walt Whitman and Malcolm X.

Shetterly taught himself drawing, printmaking and painting after graduating from Harvard College with a degree in English literature. His work appears in collections across the United States and Europe. Along with his "Americans Who Tell the Truth" series, Shetterly is well known for his series of 70 painted etchings based on William Blake's "Proverbs of Hell" and for another series of 50 painted etchings reflecting on the metaphor of the Annunciation.

He began "Americans Who Tell the Truth" in the early 2000s. A book by the same name and featuring his first 50 portraits was published in 2008. Shetterly says the portraits have given him an opportunity to speak with children and adults throughout the United States about "the necessity of dissent in a democracy, the obligations of citizenship, sustainability, U.S. history, and how democracy cannot function if politicians don't tell the truth, if the media don't report it, and if the people don't demand it."

The Art of the Tile
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

Ceramic tiles are one of the world's oldest decorative art forms, dating back to at least the fourth millennium BCE. Tiles served both an ornamental and functional purpose, covering interior and exterior building surfaces as well as tabletops and other pieces of furniture.

The Everson's expansive ceramics collection includes over 500 tiles made in countries around the world between the 17th and 20th centuries. This exhibition presents a selection of these tiles, many of which have never before been on view.

Visions of America
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Everson building, "Visions of America" showcases the depth of the Everson's collection of American art. In 1911, the Everson (then known as the Syracuse Museum of Fine Arts) made history as the first museum in the country to declare that it would collect only work made by American artists, a decision which led to the acquisition of many important works that are today beloved by Everson visitors. This exhibition features many of these visitor favorites, including work by Edward Hicks, Eastman Johnson, Frederick Remington, Adelaide Alsop Robineau, and Gilbert Stuart.

Art Within Art: The Everson at 50
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

"Art Within Art: The Everson at 50" commemorates the 50th anniversary of architect I.M. Pei's landmark Everson Museum of Art. The exhibition and associated programming explore Pei's radical notion that the structure of a museum is as important as the art it contains, a belief that directly impacts curatorial choices in both art and programs. Including never-before-seen plans, photographs, models, ephemera, and archival materials alongside selected artworks from the Everson's collection, "Art Within Art" examines the aesthetic and conceptual similarities between Pei's building and the art it houses, revealing the lasting impact of great architecture.

Keisha Scarville: Alma
Light Work Gallery

Price: Free
Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University, Syracuse

Keisha Scarville's primary theme is the relationship between transformation and the unknown. Grounded in photography, she works across media to explore place, absence, and subjectivity.

After the death of her mother in 2015, Keisha Scarville deepened her use of photography as a way to explore how the loss of such an anchor point can affect one's identity and sense of both absence and self in the world. Scarville's exhibition presents a selection of photographs whose larger subject is transformation born of loss. In working with Alma's richly patterned clothing and possessions, Scarville states she looks for ways to visually conjure her mother's presence.

Americans Who Tell the Truth: Models of Courageous Citizenship
University Lectures

Price: Free
Panasci Lounge, Schine Student Center
Syracuse University, Syracuse

Not only is noted painter Robert Shetterly coming to Syracuse University, he is bringing along the full collection of his masterwork portrait series "Americans Who Tell the Truth: Models of Courageous Citizenship," which marks the first time ever all 235 pieces will be displayed publicly in one location.

The portraits and accompanying narratives highlight citizens who courageously address issues of social, environmental and economic fairness. Combining art and other media, the series "offers resources to inspire a new generation of engaged Americans who will act for the common good, our communities, and the Earth."

Among the historical and contemporary figures portrayed in the collection are Muhammad Ali, Susan B. Anthony, James Baldwin, Majora Carter, Shirley Chisholm, Dwight Eisenhower, Langston Hughes, Van Jones, Martin Luther King Jr., Naomi Klein, Ron Kovic, Oren Lyons '58, Arthur Miller, Ralph Nader, Paul Robeson, Edward Snowden, Mark Twain, Walt Whitman and Malcolm X.

Shetterly taught himself drawing, printmaking and painting after graduating from Harvard College with a degree in English literature. His work appears in collections across the United States and Europe. Along with his "Americans Who Tell the Truth" series, Shetterly is well known for his series of 70 painted etchings based on William Blake's "Proverbs of Hell" and for another series of 50 painted etchings reflecting on the metaphor of the Annunciation.

He began "Americans Who Tell the Truth" in the early 2000s. A book by the same name and featuring his first 50 portraits was published in 2008. Shetterly says the portraits have given him an opportunity to speak with children and adults throughout the United States about "the necessity of dissent in a democracy, the obligations of citizenship, sustainability, U.S. history, and how democracy cannot function if politicians don't tell the truth, if the media don't report it, and if the people don't demand it."

Keisha Scarville's primary theme is the relationship between transformation and the unknown. Grounded in photography, she works across media to explore place, absence, and subjectivity.

After the death of her mother in 2015, Keisha Scarville deepened her use of photography as a way to explore how the loss of such an anchor point can affect one's identity and sense of both absence and self in the world. Scarville's exhibition presents a selection of photographs whose larger subject is transformation born of loss. In working with Alma's richly patterned clothing and possessions, Scarville states she looks for ways to visually conjure her mother's presence.

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

"Art Within Art: The Everson at 50" commemorates the 50th anniversary of architect I.M. Pei's landmark Everson Museum of Art. The exhibition and associated programming explore Pei's radical notion that the structure of a museum is as important as the art it contains, a belief that directly impacts curatorial choices in both art and programs. Including never-before-seen plans, photographs, models, ephemera, and archival materials alongside selected artworks from the Everson's collection, "Art Within Art" examines the aesthetic and conceptual similarities between Pei's building and the art it houses, revealing the lasting impact of great architecture.

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Everson building, "Visions of America" showcases the depth of the Everson's collection of American art. In 1911, the Everson (then known as the Syracuse Museum of Fine Arts) made history as the first museum in the country to declare that it would collect only work made by American artists, a decision which led to the acquisition of many important works that are today beloved by Everson visitors. This exhibition features many of these visitor favorites, including work by Edward Hicks, Eastman Johnson, Frederick Remington, Adelaide Alsop Robineau, and Gilbert Stuart.

Book by Thomas Meehan and Bob Martin, music by Matthew Sklar, and lyrics by Chad Beguelin, based on the New Line Cinema Film by David Berenbaum.

Americans Who Tell the Truth: Models of Courageous Citizenship
University Lectures

Price: Free
Panasci Lounge, Schine Student Center
Syracuse University, Syracuse

Not only is noted painter Robert Shetterly coming to Syracuse University, he is bringing along the full collection of his masterwork portrait series "Americans Who Tell the Truth: Models of Courageous Citizenship," which marks the first time ever all 235 pieces will be displayed publicly in one location.

The portraits and accompanying narratives highlight citizens who courageously address issues of social, environmental and economic fairness. Combining art and other media, the series "offers resources to inspire a new generation of engaged Americans who will act for the common good, our communities, and the Earth."

Among the historical and contemporary figures portrayed in the collection are Muhammad Ali, Susan B. Anthony, James Baldwin, Majora Carter, Shirley Chisholm, Dwight Eisenhower, Langston Hughes, Van Jones, Martin Luther King Jr., Naomi Klein, Ron Kovic, Oren Lyons '58, Arthur Miller, Ralph Nader, Paul Robeson, Edward Snowden, Mark Twain, Walt Whitman and Malcolm X.

Shetterly taught himself drawing, printmaking and painting after graduating from Harvard College with a degree in English literature. His work appears in collections across the United States and Europe. Along with his "Americans Who Tell the Truth" series, Shetterly is well known for his series of 70 painted etchings based on William Blake's "Proverbs of Hell" and for another series of 50 painted etchings reflecting on the metaphor of the Annunciation.

He began "Americans Who Tell the Truth" in the early 2000s. A book by the same name and featuring his first 50 portraits was published in 2008. Shetterly says the portraits have given him an opportunity to speak with children and adults throughout the United States about "the necessity of dissent in a democracy, the obligations of citizenship, sustainability, U.S. history, and how democracy cannot function if politicians don't tell the truth, if the media don't report it, and if the people don't demand it."

"Art Within Art: The Everson at 50" commemorates the 50th anniversary of architect I.M. Pei's landmark Everson Museum of Art. The exhibition and associated programming explore Pei's radical notion that the structure of a museum is as important as the art it contains, a belief that directly impacts curatorial choices in both art and programs. Including never-before-seen plans, photographs, models, ephemera, and archival materials alongside selected artworks from the Everson's collection, "Art Within Art" examines the aesthetic and conceptual similarities between Pei's building and the art it houses, revealing the lasting impact of great architecture.
