Pick & Mix
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

Spring 2023 marks the beginning of a massive project that will convert an area adjacent to the ceramics gallery, which previously held paintings and prints, into dedicated ceramics storage. To accomplish this, we will close a portion of the ceramics gallery to make room for all the sorting and organizing that is to come. More than 200 paintings will come out of storage and hang salon-style in the Everson's upstairs galleries for the exhibition, Off the Rack.

In the face of space limitations like these, most museums would offer you less art — but that is not the Everson way. Instead, we offer you Pick & Mix, a cornucopia of five fabulous exhibitions under one banner. Pick & Mix highlights the vitality of the Museum's mission to gather works that document the ways that artists draw inspiration from their cultures, as well as the ways that artists give back. Ceramics are an an ideal lens to examine the gender roles, politics, and material culture of any given moment.

   

Off the Rack
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

"Off the Rack" is the happy by-product of a major renovation of the Everson's on-site art storage.

As hundreds of paintings and framed works are displaced from their racks while renovations take place, the public has an unprecedented opportunity to view objects that have been in deep storage for years, never-before-seen recent acquisitions, and some perennial favorites — all hung together salon-style in our exhibition galleries.

This smorgasbord of paintings and works on paper showcases the breadth and depth of the Museum's collections and provides a glimpse into the world of collections management and care.

SU Art Galleries, Shaffer Art Building

Artist and art historian Josh T Franco stages a highly personal intervention in the Museum's permanent collection galleries by developing the exhibition checklist and staging performances to activate the space.

In doing so, he invites museum visitors, especially Syracuse University students, to consider their relationships to their fields of study.

*SOLD OUT* Mike Powell & the Echosound
The 443 Social Club

The 443 Social Club
443 Burnet Ave., Syracuse

A natural-born storyteller with a stage presence that's best described as "real". His spontaneous nature and extreme comfort behind a microphone create a vibe that engages audiences in a way that only authenticity can. His songs are filled with powerful imagery and thought-provoking themes but a Powell performance is much more than just a concert – it's an exploration into the human heart. Seamlessly weaving hilarious tales of everyday life with heartbreaking songs of tragedy, loss & blue collar hardship. Pulling from his catalog of over 200 original songs and accompanied by his musical companion of over 15 years, multi-instrumentalist John Hanus, they have become one of the "must-see" acts in Central New York.

Mean Girls
Broadway in Syracuse

Landmark Theatre
362 S. Salina St., Syracuse

Direct from Broadway, Mean Girls is the hilarious hit musical from an award-winning creative team, including book writer Tina Fey, composer Jeff Richmond, lyricist Nell Benjamin, and original director and choreographer Casey Nicholaw.

Cady Heron may have grown up on an African savanna, but nothing prepared her for the vicious ways of her strange new home: suburban Illinois. Soon, this naive newbie falls prey to a trio of lionized frenemies led by the charming but ruthless Regina George. But when Cady devises a plan to end Regina's reign, she learns the hard way that you can't cross a Queen Bee without getting stung. New York Magazine cheers, "Mean Girls delivers with immense energy, a wicked sense of humor and joyful inside-jokery." USA Today says, "We'll let you in on a little secret, because we're such good friends: Get your tickets now!"

Mondrian: Art, Design, Fashion
Syracuse University School of Art and Design

Price: Free
The Warehouse Genet Gallery
350 W. Fayette St., Syracuse

Discover the remarkable influence of Piet Mondrian's art on fashion and design. This exhibition, curated by Professor Jeffrey Mayer and featuring the Sue Ann Genet Costume Collection, addresses the effect that Piet Mondrian's utopian neoplastic art has had on design and fashion in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

Mondrian (1872-1944) was a visionary Dutch painter known for pioneering the De Stijl movement. His iconic grid-based compositions using only straight lines, primary colors plus black, white and grey, transformed the art world. His work embodies simplicity, harmony, and a universal language of abstraction.

The exhibition features not only fashion from the 1980s and 1990s but is also filled with additional "design" objects that have been influenced by Mondrian's work, including dinnerware from Kate Spade; toys from Mattel, LOL and Thomas the Train; sneakers by Nike; and packaging from the beauty brand L'Oreal's Studio Line.

Off the Rack
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

"Off the Rack" is the happy by-product of a major renovation of the Everson's on-site art storage.

As hundreds of paintings and framed works are displaced from their racks while renovations take place, the public has an unprecedented opportunity to view objects that have been in deep storage for years, never-before-seen recent acquisitions, and some perennial favorites — all hung together salon-style in our exhibition galleries.

This smorgasbord of paintings and works on paper showcases the breadth and depth of the Museum's collections and provides a glimpse into the world of collections management and care.

Mondrian: Art, Design, Fashion
Syracuse University School of Art and Design

Price: Free
The Warehouse Genet Gallery
350 W. Fayette St., Syracuse

Discover the remarkable influence of Piet Mondrian's art on fashion and design. This exhibition, curated by Professor Jeffrey Mayer and featuring the Sue Ann Genet Costume Collection, addresses the effect that Piet Mondrian's utopian neoplastic art has had on design and fashion in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

Mondrian (1872-1944) was a visionary Dutch painter known for pioneering the De Stijl movement. His iconic grid-based compositions using only straight lines, primary colors plus black, white and grey, transformed the art world. His work embodies simplicity, harmony, and a universal language of abstraction.

The exhibition features not only fashion from the 1980s and 1990s but is also filled with additional "design" objects that have been influenced by Mondrian's work, including dinnerware from Kate Spade; toys from Mattel, LOL and Thomas the Train; sneakers by Nike; and packaging from the beauty brand L'Oreal's Studio Line.
