Realities Within
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

Realities Within presents four enduring genres of artmaking to explore how artists shape, frame, and inhabit the world. Whether a landscape, cityscape, still life, or representation of the human body, these works show how each artist's reality is impacted by their lived experience. Separated by genre and installed "salon-style" — a term inspired by the 18th and 19th century Paris Salons, where paintings were hung from floor to ceiling, covering every inch of wall space — the dense arrangement invites close looking and visual comparison, encouraging viewers to find connections across time, style, and subject matter.

   

New Works in Clay
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

The Everson has a long history of working with important contemporary artists. Over the last 58 years, the Everson has produced solo exhibitions for Yoko Ono, Morris Louis, Joan Mitchell, Bill Viola, William Wegman, Carrie Mae Weems, and a host of artists who loom large on the world stage. No exhibition in the Everson's history can compare to New Works in Clay by Contemporary Painters and Sculptors, a 1976 exhibition that involved bringing well-known painters and sculptors to Syracuse to produce a body of work in ceramics. The project was the brainchild of Margie Hughto, who served as both a professor at Syracuse University and as a curator at the Everson.

For the first time in 50 years, the Everson will bring together ceramic works by the original 11 participants, as well as works by artists like Kenneth Noland and Mary Frank who participated in subsequent projects in 1978 and 1981. Five decades later, it is not unusual for clay to be a part of an artist's repertoire. New Works in Clay explores how the Everson broke down barriers between art and craft and set the stage for the current ceramic renaissance in the art world.

   

Sincerely, Beato
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

We remember Beatrice Wood, who signed her pithy correspondence as "Beato," for her cutting wit, outrageous stories, lustrous ceramics, and complex relationship with artist Marcel Duchamp, a leader of the Dada movement. Determined to resist the life her wealthy parents envisioned for her, Wood became a defining figure of New York City's Dada scene, embracing the art movement that reveled in absurdity, nonsense, and humor.

Sincerely, Beato features self-portraits, sketches, and illustrations that Wood made primarily in the latter half of her life, after she settled in Ojai, California. They function as a pictorial diary, revealing the inner worries, emotions, and desires of the "Mama of Dada."

   

Julia Kunin: Electric Dream Machines
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

With their lustrous surfaces and evocative shapes, the ceramic works of Brooklyn-based artist Julia Kunin aim for maximum sensory overload. Kunin forges disparate influences like Art Deco, Surrealism, and queer abstraction into shimmering ceramic sculptures. For Kunin, discovery and free association reign supreme. Kunin's mental process echoes her physical process, ping-ponging from one concept to the next. An allusion to a surrealist artist might lead to a rabbit hole about geopolitics or queer identity. Kunin follows her trail of breadcrumbs with rigorous research—she has even learned entire languages to facilitate her work.

   

America 250: Rebels, Radicals, and Revolutionaries
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

The American story is a tangle of aspiration and contradiction, triumph and struggle, liberty and oppression. From the nation's founding, rebels, radicals, and revolutionaries have shaped the course of American history through acts of courage and innovation as well as challenges to convention and authority. This exhibition presents artists whose works reflect that journey, celebrating moments of courage and progress while also confronting inequity and inaction.

Organized to commemorate America's 250th anniversary, America 250: Rebels, Radicals, and Revolutionaries invites visitors to reflect on the individuals, events, and ideas that continuously shape (and reshape) the United States. Rather than offering a single, linear narrative, the exhibition embraces the nation's messy, complex history and recognizes that the "American story" is different for every individual living within the country's borders. Some works celebrate defining moments in American history. Others turn our attention to often overlooked or deliberately omitted histories: the enduring legacies of slavery and Indigenous oppression, the struggles for civil rights, the fight for gender equality, and the ongoing pursuit of equity. Shown together, these works remind us that patriotism is strongest when we have the courage to face uncomfortable truths.

   

museum: Sayler/Morris and Christina Seely
Light Work Gallery

Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University, Syracuse

Light Work is pleased to present museum, a collaborative photographic exhibition by the artists Sayler/Morris (Susannah Sayler and Ed Morris) and Christina Seely.

The images in this installation were made in 2014 during the artists' time as Smithsonian Artist Research Fellows, when they photographed the disassembly of the iconic National Fossil Hall at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. More than a decade later, during a 2025 studio visit, the artists rediscovered the photographs and saw them in a new light. Time had changed the images; it had amplified their disorienting, dreamlike qualities. What is presented inside this exhibition at Light Work is the breaking down of a museum exhibit. The idea of a museum, its authority, certainty, and clarity, is replaced with the rediscovery of the original meaning of museum—a site for muses, a site where knowledge is not fixed but in perpetual development.

Armed with safety gear and a shopping cart, each of these artists have scavenging privileges in the Public Reuse and Recycling Area—what most artists refer to as "The Big Store"—to recycle and reclaim the discarded waste as imagined art objects. Through introspective, playful, and highly original explorations, the artists reveal the hidden stories our rubbish tells us about our complex relationship with the world, while highlighting the need to create sustainable communities.

The images in this installation were made in 2014 during the artists' time as Smithsonian Artist Research Fellows, when they photographed the disassembly of the iconic National Fossil Hall at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. More than a decade later, during a 2025 studio visit, the artists rediscovered the photographs and saw them in a new light. Time had changed the images; it had amplified their disorienting, dreamlike qualities. What is presented inside this exhibition at Light Work is the breaking down of a museum exhibit. The idea of a museum, its authority, certainty, and clarity, is replaced with the rediscovery of the original meaning of museum—a site for muses, a site where knowledge is not fixed but in perpetual development.

Realities Within
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

Realities Within presents four enduring genres of artmaking to explore how artists shape, frame, and inhabit the world. Whether a landscape, cityscape, still life, or representation of the human body, these works show how each artist's reality is impacted by their lived experience. Separated by genre and installed "salon-style" — a term inspired by the 18th and 19th century Paris Salons, where paintings were hung from floor to ceiling, covering every inch of wall space — the dense arrangement invites close looking and visual comparison, encouraging viewers to find connections across time, style, and subject matter.

   

New Works in Clay
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

The Everson has a long history of working with important contemporary artists. Over the last 58 years, the Everson has produced solo exhibitions for Yoko Ono, Morris Louis, Joan Mitchell, Bill Viola, William Wegman, Carrie Mae Weems, and a host of artists who loom large on the world stage. No exhibition in the Everson's history can compare to New Works in Clay by Contemporary Painters and Sculptors, a 1976 exhibition that involved bringing well-known painters and sculptors to Syracuse to produce a body of work in ceramics. The project was the brainchild of Margie Hughto, who served as both a professor at Syracuse University and as a curator at the Everson.

For the first time in 50 years, the Everson will bring together ceramic works by the original 11 participants, as well as works by artists like Kenneth Noland and Mary Frank who participated in subsequent projects in 1978 and 1981. Five decades later, it is not unusual for clay to be a part of an artist's repertoire. New Works in Clay explores how the Everson broke down barriers between art and craft and set the stage for the current ceramic renaissance in the art world.

   

Sincerely, Beato
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

We remember Beatrice Wood, who signed her pithy correspondence as "Beato," for her cutting wit, outrageous stories, lustrous ceramics, and complex relationship with artist Marcel Duchamp, a leader of the Dada movement. Determined to resist the life her wealthy parents envisioned for her, Wood became a defining figure of New York City's Dada scene, embracing the art movement that reveled in absurdity, nonsense, and humor.

Sincerely, Beato features self-portraits, sketches, and illustrations that Wood made primarily in the latter half of her life, after she settled in Ojai, California. They function as a pictorial diary, revealing the inner worries, emotions, and desires of the "Mama of Dada."

   

Julia Kunin: Electric Dream Machines
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

With their lustrous surfaces and evocative shapes, the ceramic works of Brooklyn-based artist Julia Kunin aim for maximum sensory overload. Kunin forges disparate influences like Art Deco, Surrealism, and queer abstraction into shimmering ceramic sculptures. For Kunin, discovery and free association reign supreme. Kunin's mental process echoes her physical process, ping-ponging from one concept to the next. An allusion to a surrealist artist might lead to a rabbit hole about geopolitics or queer identity. Kunin follows her trail of breadcrumbs with rigorous research—she has even learned entire languages to facilitate her work.

   

America 250: Rebels, Radicals, and Revolutionaries
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

The American story is a tangle of aspiration and contradiction, triumph and struggle, liberty and oppression. From the nation's founding, rebels, radicals, and revolutionaries have shaped the course of American history through acts of courage and innovation as well as challenges to convention and authority. This exhibition presents artists whose works reflect that journey, celebrating moments of courage and progress while also confronting inequity and inaction.

Organized to commemorate America's 250th anniversary, America 250: Rebels, Radicals, and Revolutionaries invites visitors to reflect on the individuals, events, and ideas that continuously shape (and reshape) the United States. Rather than offering a single, linear narrative, the exhibition embraces the nation's messy, complex history and recognizes that the "American story" is different for every individual living within the country's borders. Some works celebrate defining moments in American history. Others turn our attention to often overlooked or deliberately omitted histories: the enduring legacies of slavery and Indigenous oppression, the struggles for civil rights, the fight for gender equality, and the ongoing pursuit of equity. Shown together, these works remind us that patriotism is strongest when we have the courage to face uncomfortable truths.

Armed with safety gear and a shopping cart, each of these artists have scavenging privileges in the Public Reuse and Recycling Area—what most artists refer to as "The Big Store"—to recycle and reclaim the discarded waste as imagined art objects. Through introspective, playful, and highly original explorations, the artists reveal the hidden stories our rubbish tells us about our complex relationship with the world, while highlighting the need to create sustainable communities.

America 250: Rebels, Radicals, and Revolutionaries
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

The American story is a tangle of aspiration and contradiction, triumph and struggle, liberty and oppression. From the nation's founding, rebels, radicals, and revolutionaries have shaped the course of American history through acts of courage and innovation as well as challenges to convention and authority. This exhibition presents artists whose works reflect that journey, celebrating moments of courage and progress while also confronting inequity and inaction.

Organized to commemorate America's 250th anniversary, America 250: Rebels, Radicals, and Revolutionaries invites visitors to reflect on the individuals, events, and ideas that continuously shape (and reshape) the United States. Rather than offering a single, linear narrative, the exhibition embraces the nation's messy, complex history and recognizes that the "American story" is different for every individual living within the country's borders. Some works celebrate defining moments in American history. Others turn our attention to often overlooked or deliberately omitted histories: the enduring legacies of slavery and Indigenous oppression, the struggles for civil rights, the fight for gender equality, and the ongoing pursuit of equity. Shown together, these works remind us that patriotism is strongest when we have the courage to face uncomfortable truths.

   

Julia Kunin: Electric Dream Machines
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

With their lustrous surfaces and evocative shapes, the ceramic works of Brooklyn-based artist Julia Kunin aim for maximum sensory overload. Kunin forges disparate influences like Art Deco, Surrealism, and queer abstraction into shimmering ceramic sculptures. For Kunin, discovery and free association reign supreme. Kunin's mental process echoes her physical process, ping-ponging from one concept to the next. An allusion to a surrealist artist might lead to a rabbit hole about geopolitics or queer identity. Kunin follows her trail of breadcrumbs with rigorous research—she has even learned entire languages to facilitate her work.

   

Sincerely, Beato
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

We remember Beatrice Wood, who signed her pithy correspondence as "Beato," for her cutting wit, outrageous stories, lustrous ceramics, and complex relationship with artist Marcel Duchamp, a leader of the Dada movement. Determined to resist the life her wealthy parents envisioned for her, Wood became a defining figure of New York City's Dada scene, embracing the art movement that reveled in absurdity, nonsense, and humor.

Sincerely, Beato features self-portraits, sketches, and illustrations that Wood made primarily in the latter half of her life, after she settled in Ojai, California. They function as a pictorial diary, revealing the inner worries, emotions, and desires of the "Mama of Dada."

   

New Works in Clay
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

The Everson has a long history of working with important contemporary artists. Over the last 58 years, the Everson has produced solo exhibitions for Yoko Ono, Morris Louis, Joan Mitchell, Bill Viola, William Wegman, Carrie Mae Weems, and a host of artists who loom large on the world stage. No exhibition in the Everson's history can compare to New Works in Clay by Contemporary Painters and Sculptors, a 1976 exhibition that involved bringing well-known painters and sculptors to Syracuse to produce a body of work in ceramics. The project was the brainchild of Margie Hughto, who served as both a professor at Syracuse University and as a curator at the Everson.

For the first time in 50 years, the Everson will bring together ceramic works by the original 11 participants, as well as works by artists like Kenneth Noland and Mary Frank who participated in subsequent projects in 1978 and 1981. Five decades later, it is not unusual for clay to be a part of an artist's repertoire. New Works in Clay explores how the Everson broke down barriers between art and craft and set the stage for the current ceramic renaissance in the art world.

   

Realities Within
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

Realities Within presents four enduring genres of artmaking to explore how artists shape, frame, and inhabit the world. Whether a landscape, cityscape, still life, or representation of the human body, these works show how each artist's reality is impacted by their lived experience. Separated by genre and installed "salon-style" — a term inspired by the 18th and 19th century Paris Salons, where paintings were hung from floor to ceiling, covering every inch of wall space — the dense arrangement invites close looking and visual comparison, encouraging viewers to find connections across time, style, and subject matter.

   

museum: Sayler/Morris and Christina Seely
Light Work Gallery

Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University, Syracuse

Light Work is pleased to present museum, a collaborative photographic exhibition by the artists Sayler/Morris (Susannah Sayler and Ed Morris) and Christina Seely.

The images in this installation were made in 2014 during the artists' time as Smithsonian Artist Research Fellows, when they photographed the disassembly of the iconic National Fossil Hall at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. More than a decade later, during a 2025 studio visit, the artists rediscovered the photographs and saw them in a new light. Time had changed the images; it had amplified their disorienting, dreamlike qualities. What is presented inside this exhibition at Light Work is the breaking down of a museum exhibit. The idea of a museum, its authority, certainty, and clarity, is replaced with the rediscovery of the original meaning of museum—a site for muses, a site where knowledge is not fixed but in perpetual development.

My Dead Lady
Acme Mystery Company

Syracuse Turners
619 N. Salina St., Syracuse

Professor Barry Biggins has a problem. Azalia Dimwittle has completely failed every attempt to elevate her from Cockney flower girl to aristocratic lady. She simply hasn't gotten it, never will get it, and now everyone has just about had it. To make matters worse, she's invited you and the rest of her conniving family over to the Professor's house for her father's birthday party. By George, I think she's going to get it (if she doesn't get them first).
