Nabil Harb: Mater si, magistra no Light Work Gallery
Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Nabil Harb's project "Mater si, magistra no" (a macaronic phrase that translates as "Mother yes, teacher no") presents photographs that describe and depict moments and scenes within his hometown of Lakeland in Polk County, FL. This Central Florida location is both the backdrop and main character of Harb's visual narrative: a story that emits surreal qualities which twist ideas of the region through photography's formal language into a conceptual idea — an idea of how to describe the atmosphere of a place without words. Harb writes, "The landscape is the perfect reflection of our society, our ultimate index — it holds our histories, our secrets, our failures, and our hopes for the future."

Joiri Minaya: Unseeing the Tropics at the Museum Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
"Joiri Minaya: Unseeing the Tropics at the Museum" brings together artwork by the acclaimed New York City-based Dominican artist and objects from the collection to examine how Minaya critiques Western ideas of tropicality, which are rooted in otherness and exoticism. Through these comparisons, the exhibition explores how nature, landscape, culture, and race have been historically constructed and deployed as tropes in visual culture.

Surrealism and Photography: "Where I Dream, It is Awake" Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
This exhibition examines the role of Surrealism in modern photography, tracking the movement's love of chance, fragmentation, and uncanny dream imagery from its origins in Paris to Britain, Mexico, and Japan over the course of the 20th century. Curated by graduate students in the Department of Art & Music Histories under the direction of Sam Johnson (associate professor and director of graduate studies in Art History), the exhibition features photographs from collections of the SU Art Museum alongside Surrealist books and periodicals from the Special Collections Research Center of the Syracuse University Libraries.

Fruits of Their Labor: Work and Leisure at the Syracuse University Art Museum Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
"Fruits of Their Labor" seeks to reexamine depictions of labor and leisure in the Syracuse University Art Museum's permanent collection. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed systemic problems in the workplace, mirroring the societal shifts in the labor industry during the Great Depression. Through thematic groupings such as those that depict women's work in and out of the home or behind the scenes views into the entertainment industry, this exhibition challenges conventional depictions of labor.

CNY Artist Initiative: Courtney Rile: Moments in Between Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Courtney Rile was the mother of a toddler when the emergence of COVID-19 triggered mandatory stay-at-home orders in March of 2020. The change, confusion, and uncertainty of that time mirrored the feelings she experienced during her "fourth trimester" — the 12 weeks in a mother and baby's life after the baby is born. Rile turned to photography to help process both motherhood and grief, and to cope with the changes in the world around her. The resulting portraits of friends with young children, as well as portraits of her daughter and other images captured in Rile's home, made during lockdown and its immediate aftermath, explore the passage of time and the duality of inward and outward looking.

It Came from the '70s Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
The 1970s were a time of radical change in the field of ceramics. Artists began to grasp clay's potential when it came to Conceptual Art, Minimalism, Land Art, Performance Art, and other movements of the era. In the wake of the 1960s, artists felt free to use humor for self-expression, shock value, or to serve as a "spoonful of sugar" to deliver a message. While the 1970s are usually seen as a time of wild individual expression, the decade also saw the development of a network of galleries and collectors that would ultimately professionalize the field and develop grudging respect from the fine art world. "It Came From the '70s" features groovy works from the Everson collection that tell these stories.

At Water's Edge: Reflections on 200 Years of the Erie Canal Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
2025 marks the 200th anniversary of the Erie Canal's completion. The Canal transformed New York State in the 19th century. Today, 80% of the upstate population lives within 25 miles of the waterway, yet in much of the public's imagination, the canal remains confined to the past. The 2024 Erie Canal Artists-in-Residence — Alon Koppel, Judit German-Heins, and Clara Riedlinger — each embarked on a year-long photographic exploration contemplating the Canal's current condition, activating the landscape, and considering the waterway's lasting impacts on present-day American culture. "At Water's Edge: Reflections on 200 Years of the Erie Canal" highlights the culmination of these artists' projects. "At Water's Edge" is organized by the Erie Canal Museum in Syracuse. The Artist-in-Residence program was created through a partnership between the New York State Canal Corporation and the Erie Canal Museum.

Simply Simon: Pottery from the Collection of Michael Simon and Susan Roberts Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Over the course of five decades, Georgia-based potter Michael Simon's name became synonymous with American functional pottery. Simon was born in Minnesota and studied with legendary pottery Warren MacKenzie. After building his own kiln near Athens, Georgia in 1980, Simon began setting one exemplary piece from each kiln firing aside for posterity. These "pick of the kiln" pieces are a testimony to Simon's enduring influence on the field of ceramics. In 2018, Simon donated one of his favorite "pick of the kiln" vases to the Everson's permanent collection. With the vase came a donation of more than 30 functional pots by other artists that Simon and his wife Susan Roberts had collected over the years. Simon passed away in August of 2021, but left an immense legacy through his work, which now graces the collections of more than 20 museums across the United States. The works exhibited in "Simply Simon" reflect the qualities that Simon valued as a potter, while also illuminating his enduring relationships with his friends and colleagues.

She Loves Me Central New York Playhouse Olivia Semsel, director
Atonement Lutheran Church
116 W. Glen Ave.,
Syracuse
Considered by many to be the most charming musical ever written, She Loves Me is a warm romantic comedy with an endearing innocence and a touch of old-world elegance. The Miklós László play Parfuemerie, on which it is based, has inspired many adaptations, including the beloved film You've Got Mail starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. Set in a 1930s European perfumery, we meet shop clerk, Amalia and Georg, who, more often than not, don't see eye to eye. After both respond to a "lonely hearts advertisement" in the newspaper, they now live for the love letters that they exchange, but the identity of their admirers remains unknown. Join Amalia and Georg to discover the identity of their true loves...and all the twists and turns along the way! Book by Joe Masteroff, music by Jerry Bock, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick

It Came from the '70s Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
The 1970s were a time of radical change in the field of ceramics. Artists began to grasp clay's potential when it came to Conceptual Art, Minimalism, Land Art, Performance Art, and other movements of the era. In the wake of the 1960s, artists felt free to use humor for self-expression, shock value, or to serve as a "spoonful of sugar" to deliver a message. While the 1970s are usually seen as a time of wild individual expression, the decade also saw the development of a network of galleries and collectors that would ultimately professionalize the field and develop grudging respect from the fine art world. "It Came From the '70s" features groovy works from the Everson collection that tell these stories.

CNY Artist Initiative: Courtney Rile: Moments in Between Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Courtney Rile was the mother of a toddler when the emergence of COVID-19 triggered mandatory stay-at-home orders in March of 2020. The change, confusion, and uncertainty of that time mirrored the feelings she experienced during her "fourth trimester" — the 12 weeks in a mother and baby's life after the baby is born. Rile turned to photography to help process both motherhood and grief, and to cope with the changes in the world around her. The resulting portraits of friends with young children, as well as portraits of her daughter and other images captured in Rile's home, made during lockdown and its immediate aftermath, explore the passage of time and the duality of inward and outward looking.

Simply Simon: Pottery from the Collection of Michael Simon and Susan Roberts Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Over the course of five decades, Georgia-based potter Michael Simon's name became synonymous with American functional pottery. Simon was born in Minnesota and studied with legendary pottery Warren MacKenzie. After building his own kiln near Athens, Georgia in 1980, Simon began setting one exemplary piece from each kiln firing aside for posterity. These "pick of the kiln" pieces are a testimony to Simon's enduring influence on the field of ceramics. In 2018, Simon donated one of his favorite "pick of the kiln" vases to the Everson's permanent collection. With the vase came a donation of more than 30 functional pots by other artists that Simon and his wife Susan Roberts had collected over the years. Simon passed away in August of 2021, but left an immense legacy through his work, which now graces the collections of more than 20 museums across the United States. The works exhibited in "Simply Simon" reflect the qualities that Simon valued as a potter, while also illuminating his enduring relationships with his friends and colleagues.

At Water's Edge: Reflections on 200 Years of the Erie Canal Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
2025 marks the 200th anniversary of the Erie Canal's completion. The Canal transformed New York State in the 19th century. Today, 80% of the upstate population lives within 25 miles of the waterway, yet in much of the public's imagination, the canal remains confined to the past. The 2024 Erie Canal Artists-in-Residence — Alon Koppel, Judit German-Heins, and Clara Riedlinger — each embarked on a year-long photographic exploration contemplating the Canal's current condition, activating the landscape, and considering the waterway's lasting impacts on present-day American culture. "At Water's Edge: Reflections on 200 Years of the Erie Canal" highlights the culmination of these artists' projects. "At Water's Edge" is organized by the Erie Canal Museum in Syracuse. The Artist-in-Residence program was created through a partnership between the New York State Canal Corporation and the Erie Canal Museum.

Nabil Harb: Mater si, magistra no Light Work Gallery
Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Nabil Harb's project "Mater si, magistra no" (a macaronic phrase that translates as "Mother yes, teacher no") presents photographs that describe and depict moments and scenes within his hometown of Lakeland in Polk County, FL. This Central Florida location is both the backdrop and main character of Harb's visual narrative: a story that emits surreal qualities which twist ideas of the region through photography's formal language into a conceptual idea — an idea of how to describe the atmosphere of a place without words. Harb writes, "The landscape is the perfect reflection of our society, our ultimate index — it holds our histories, our secrets, our failures, and our hopes for the future."

His son, Alexandre Dumas père, author of The Three Musketeers, lives a life as daring and full of intrigue as the characters in his own plays and novels.

She Loves Me Central New York Playhouse Olivia Semsel, director
Atonement Lutheran Church
116 W. Glen Ave.,
Syracuse
Considered by many to be the most charming musical ever written, She Loves Me is a warm romantic comedy with an endearing innocence and a touch of old-world elegance. The Miklós László play Parfuemerie, on which it is based, has inspired many adaptations, including the beloved film You've Got Mail starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. Set in a 1930s European perfumery, we meet shop clerk, Amalia and Georg, who, more often than not, don't see eye to eye. After both respond to a "lonely hearts advertisement" in the newspaper, they now live for the love letters that they exchange, but the identity of their admirers remains unknown. Join Amalia and Georg to discover the identity of their true loves...and all the twists and turns along the way! Book by Joe Masteroff, music by Jerry Bock, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick

Three generations of notorious Dumas appear in this swashbuckling play filled with tales of war, sword fights, masked balls, and romantic escapades. General Thomas Dumas, the son of a French aristocrat and a black servant woman, was one of Napoleon's most prized generals. His son, Alexandre Dumas père, author of The Three Musketeers, lives a life as daring and full of intrigue as the characters in his own plays and novels. His son, Alexandre Dumas fils, struggles to come to terms with his father's apparent immoral lifestyle, his own racial heritage, and rumors of his grandfather's defection.

King James Syracuse Stage Jamil Jude, director
Archbold Theater, Syracuse Stage
820 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
Cleveland, 2003. Basketball wunderkind LeBron James has just been signed to the Cavaliers, and two die-hard fans strike up an unlikely friendship — with high hopes for their new superstar player. As LeBron's career takes him to the height of fame, pulls him away from Cleveland, and brings him triumphantly back to the city, Matt and Shawn's lives play out off-court with all the drama of a championship season: full of slam dunks, huge upsets, and the unshakable bond of those who share a love of the game.

A zany, constantly-evolving exploration of language, gender, and identity by MJ Kaufman. A lonely subway car, a crowded support group, a stifling writers' workshop, and a raucous frat house serve as the ever-changing backdrop in this nesting doll of a play about the identities we choose to share and the ones we're forced to hide, even from ourselves.

Nabil Harb: Mater si, magistra no Light Work Gallery
Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Nabil Harb's project "Mater si, magistra no" (a macaronic phrase that translates as "Mother yes, teacher no") presents photographs that describe and depict moments and scenes within his hometown of Lakeland in Polk County, FL. This Central Florida location is both the backdrop and main character of Harb's visual narrative: a story that emits surreal qualities which twist ideas of the region through photography's formal language into a conceptual idea — an idea of how to describe the atmosphere of a place without words. Harb writes, "The landscape is the perfect reflection of our society, our ultimate index — it holds our histories, our secrets, our failures, and our hopes for the future."

It Came from the '70s Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
The 1970s were a time of radical change in the field of ceramics. Artists began to grasp clay's potential when it came to Conceptual Art, Minimalism, Land Art, Performance Art, and other movements of the era. In the wake of the 1960s, artists felt free to use humor for self-expression, shock value, or to serve as a "spoonful of sugar" to deliver a message. While the 1970s are usually seen as a time of wild individual expression, the decade also saw the development of a network of galleries and collectors that would ultimately professionalize the field and develop grudging respect from the fine art world. "It Came From the '70s" features groovy works from the Everson collection that tell these stories.

CNY Artist Initiative: Courtney Rile: Moments in Between Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Courtney Rile was the mother of a toddler when the emergence of COVID-19 triggered mandatory stay-at-home orders in March of 2020. The change, confusion, and uncertainty of that time mirrored the feelings she experienced during her "fourth trimester" — the 12 weeks in a mother and baby's life after the baby is born. Rile turned to photography to help process both motherhood and grief, and to cope with the changes in the world around her. The resulting portraits of friends with young children, as well as portraits of her daughter and other images captured in Rile's home, made during lockdown and its immediate aftermath, explore the passage of time and the duality of inward and outward looking.

Simply Simon: Pottery from the Collection of Michael Simon and Susan Roberts Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Over the course of five decades, Georgia-based potter Michael Simon's name became synonymous with American functional pottery. Simon was born in Minnesota and studied with legendary pottery Warren MacKenzie. After building his own kiln near Athens, Georgia in 1980, Simon began setting one exemplary piece from each kiln firing aside for posterity. These "pick of the kiln" pieces are a testimony to Simon's enduring influence on the field of ceramics. In 2018, Simon donated one of his favorite "pick of the kiln" vases to the Everson's permanent collection. With the vase came a donation of more than 30 functional pots by other artists that Simon and his wife Susan Roberts had collected over the years. Simon passed away in August of 2021, but left an immense legacy through his work, which now graces the collections of more than 20 museums across the United States. The works exhibited in "Simply Simon" reflect the qualities that Simon valued as a potter, while also illuminating his enduring relationships with his friends and colleagues.

At Water's Edge: Reflections on 200 Years of the Erie Canal Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
2025 marks the 200th anniversary of the Erie Canal's completion. The Canal transformed New York State in the 19th century. Today, 80% of the upstate population lives within 25 miles of the waterway, yet in much of the public's imagination, the canal remains confined to the past. The 2024 Erie Canal Artists-in-Residence — Alon Koppel, Judit German-Heins, and Clara Riedlinger — each embarked on a year-long photographic exploration contemplating the Canal's current condition, activating the landscape, and considering the waterway's lasting impacts on present-day American culture. "At Water's Edge: Reflections on 200 Years of the Erie Canal" highlights the culmination of these artists' projects. "At Water's Edge" is organized by the Erie Canal Museum in Syracuse. The Artist-in-Residence program was created through a partnership between the New York State Canal Corporation and the Erie Canal Museum.

Cleveland, 2003. Basketball wunderkind LeBron James has just been signed to the Cavaliers, and two die-hard fans strike up an unlikely friendship — with high hopes for their new superstar player. As LeBron's career takes him to the height of fame, pulls him away from Cleveland, and brings him triumphantly back to the city, Matt and Shawn's lives play out off-court with all the drama of a championship season: full of slam dunks, huge upsets, and the unshakable bond of those who share a love of the game.

Nabil Harb: Mater si, magistra no Light Work Gallery
Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Nabil Harb's project "Mater si, magistra no" (a macaronic phrase that translates as "Mother yes, teacher no") presents photographs that describe and depict moments and scenes within his hometown of Lakeland in Polk County, FL. This Central Florida location is both the backdrop and main character of Harb's visual narrative: a story that emits surreal qualities which twist ideas of the region through photography's formal language into a conceptual idea — an idea of how to describe the atmosphere of a place without words. Harb writes, "The landscape is the perfect reflection of our society, our ultimate index — it holds our histories, our secrets, our failures, and our hopes for the future."

Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,

Through these comparisons, the exhibition explores how nature, landscape, culture, and race have been historically constructed and deployed as tropes in visual culture.

Fruits of Their Labor: Work and Leisure at the Syracuse University Art Museum Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
"Fruits of Their Labor" seeks to reexamine depictions of labor and leisure in the Syracuse University Art Museum's permanent collection. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed systemic problems in the workplace, mirroring the societal shifts in the labor industry during the Great Depression. Through thematic groupings such as those that depict women's work in and out of the home or behind the scenes views into the entertainment industry, this exhibition challenges conventional depictions of labor.

CNY Artist Initiative: Courtney Rile: Moments in Between Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Courtney Rile was the mother of a toddler when the emergence of COVID-19 triggered mandatory stay-at-home orders in March of 2020. The change, confusion, and uncertainty of that time mirrored the feelings she experienced during her "fourth trimester" — the 12 weeks in a mother and baby's life after the baby is born. Rile turned to photography to help process both motherhood and grief, and to cope with the changes in the world around her. The resulting portraits of friends with young children, as well as portraits of her daughter and other images captured in Rile's home, made during lockdown and its immediate aftermath, explore the passage of time and the duality of inward and outward looking.

It Came from the '70s Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
The 1970s were a time of radical change in the field of ceramics. Artists began to grasp clay's potential when it came to Conceptual Art, Minimalism, Land Art, Performance Art, and other movements of the era. In the wake of the 1960s, artists felt free to use humor for self-expression, shock value, or to serve as a "spoonful of sugar" to deliver a message. While the 1970s are usually seen as a time of wild individual expression, the decade also saw the development of a network of galleries and collectors that would ultimately professionalize the field and develop grudging respect from the fine art world. "It Came From the '70s" features groovy works from the Everson collection that tell these stories.

Simply Simon: Pottery from the Collection of Michael Simon and Susan Roberts Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Over the course of five decades, Georgia-based potter Michael Simon's name became synonymous with American functional pottery. Simon was born in Minnesota and studied with legendary pottery Warren MacKenzie. After building his own kiln near Athens, Georgia in 1980, Simon began setting one exemplary piece from each kiln firing aside for posterity. These "pick of the kiln" pieces are a testimony to Simon's enduring influence on the field of ceramics. In 2018, Simon donated one of his favorite "pick of the kiln" vases to the Everson's permanent collection. With the vase came a donation of more than 30 functional pots by other artists that Simon and his wife Susan Roberts had collected over the years. Simon passed away in August of 2021, but left an immense legacy through his work, which now graces the collections of more than 20 museums across the United States. The works exhibited in "Simply Simon" reflect the qualities that Simon valued as a potter, while also illuminating his enduring relationships with his friends and colleagues.

At Water's Edge: Reflections on 200 Years of the Erie Canal Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
2025 marks the 200th anniversary of the Erie Canal's completion. The Canal transformed New York State in the 19th century. Today, 80% of the upstate population lives within 25 miles of the waterway, yet in much of the public's imagination, the canal remains confined to the past. The 2024 Erie Canal Artists-in-Residence — Alon Koppel, Judit German-Heins, and Clara Riedlinger — each embarked on a year-long photographic exploration contemplating the Canal's current condition, activating the landscape, and considering the waterway's lasting impacts on present-day American culture. "At Water's Edge: Reflections on 200 Years of the Erie Canal" highlights the culmination of these artists' projects. "At Water's Edge" is organized by the Erie Canal Museum in Syracuse. The Artist-in-Residence program was created through a partnership between the New York State Canal Corporation and the Erie Canal Museum.

Robbie Fulks Folkus Project
Price: $25 regular, $22 Folkus members May Memorial Unitarian Society
3800 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
Robbie Fulks learned guitar from his dad, banjo from Earl Scruggs and John Hartford records, and fiddle (long since laid down in disgrace) on his own. He attended Columbia College in New York City for two years, dropping out to focus on the Greenwich Village songwriter scene and other ill-advised pursuits. His music from the last several years hews mainly to acoustic instrumentation; it returns him in part to his earlier bluegrass days and extends the boundaries of that tradition with old-time rambles and sparely orchestrated reflections on love, the slings of time, and the troubles of common people. His 2017 release, Upland Stories, earned year's-best recognition from NPR and Rolling Stone, among many others, and two Grammy nominations for folk album and American roots song ("Alabama At Night").
