Her work will also be available in a collection of fabric this fall.

The artwork included in the Gallery 54 show will feature illustrations of common fruits and vegetables along with the tea towels and books regularly available in this popular upscale gallery of fine art and crafts. All her work is sure to find its way into Central New York homes.

Pulled from the Light Work Collection, the exhibition highlights work by Admas Habteslasie, Amy Stein, Andrea Robbin and Max Becher, Beatrix Reinhardt, Brian Ulrich, Deborah Willis, Irina Rozovsky, James Casebere, Linda Connor, Margaret Stratton, Peter Finnemore, Robert Benjamin, Susannah Sayler and Edward Morris, Sylvia de Swaan, Viktor Lugansky, and William Earle WIlliams.

*SOLD OUT* Lizzie Borden Took an Axe

Price: $20
Barnes Hiscock Mansion
930 James St., Syracuse

A multiple-award winner, Garrett Heater's Lizzie Borden Took an Axe utilizes court transcripts and inquest testimonies to bring the drama to life in a chronologically faithful adaptation. Striving to be the most historically accurate play written regarding the notorious events, the audience is challenged in an unbiased manner to come to their own conclusions as to who perpetrated the crimes.

Set throughout the rooms of the mansion, the play recreates scenes leading up to and immediately after the 1892 double-murder of wealthy businessman Andrew Borden and his second wife, Abby Durfee Gray Borden. Both were found mutilated in their home in Fall River, Massachusetts, by hatchet or axe and Andrew's 32 year old daughter Lizzie (step-daughter of Abby) was indicted and stood trial for the crime. She was eventually acquitted of the gruesome homicides and the crime has remained unsolved for over 120 years. Following her acquittal, Lizzie Borden remained in Fall River. Her friends and neighbors, once staunch supporters of her innocence, quickly left her side after the trial and she became a social pariah.

Lizzie Borden Took an Axe will thrill audiences once again this fall, having sold out of all performances at the Barnes-Hiscock Mansion over the past two years.

Tickets are available at 315-422-2445 or online at www.grbarnes.org/lizzie-borden-took-an-axe.

Todd Gray: A Place That Looks Like Home
Light Work Gallery

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

For his exhibition, "A Place That Looks Like Home," artist Todd Gray re-frames and re-contextualizes images from his personal archive that spans over 40 years of his career as a photographer, sculptor, and performance artist. Gray describes himself as an artist and activist who primarily focuses on issues of race, class, gender, and colonialism.

His unique process of combining and layering a variety of images and fragments of images allows him the opportunity to create his own history and "my own position in the diaspora." Working with photographs of pop culture, documentary photographs of Ghana (where he keeps a studio), portraits of Michael Jackson, gang members from South Los Angeles, and photo documentation from the Hubble telescope, Gray asserts what he refers to as his own polymorphous identity that defies definition. Inspired by the work of cultural theorist Stuart Hall, Gray invites the viewer to participate in an "ever-unfinished conversation about identity and history."

Todd Gray: A Place That Looks Like Home
Light Work Gallery

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

For his exhibition, "A Place That Looks Like Home," artist Todd Gray re-frames and re-contextualizes images from his personal archive that spans over 40 years of his career as a photographer, sculptor, and performance artist. Gray describes himself as an artist and activist who primarily focuses on issues of race, class, gender, and colonialism.

His unique process of combining and layering a variety of images and fragments of images allows him the opportunity to create his own history and "my own position in the diaspora." Working with photographs of pop culture, documentary photographs of Ghana (where he keeps a studio), portraits of Michael Jackson, gang members from South Los Angeles, and photo documentation from the Hubble telescope, Gray asserts what he refers to as his own polymorphous identity that defies definition. Inspired by the work of cultural theorist Stuart Hall, Gray invites the viewer to participate in an "ever-unfinished conversation about identity and history."

The Paper Store
Syracuse International Film Festival

Price: $10 individual (multi-film passes available)
Palace Theater
2384 James St., Syracuse

The Paper Store is an award-winning film that tells the story of Annalee, an academic ghost writer who works in the shadows of a college campus. When Annalee is approached by student Sigurd to write his entire film studies degree, she initially has reservations but agrees to take up the challenge when Sigurd says he'll pay double. Soon, the pair begin an intense sexual relationship but things begin to turn sour when secrets start to spill and the classic boy-meets-girl tale gets intelligently ugly.

Dark, witty, and intelligent, The Paper Store is a tale of romance and revenge set in academia.

The Paper Store is an adaptation of CNY native Katharine Clark Gray's acclaimed play 516 (five-sixteen), which was workshopped at the NY International Fringe Festival in 2007 and singled out as a must-see production, with four out of four stars on Time Out New York. (2016, USA, drama, 99 minutes)

Pulled from the Light Work Collection, the exhibition highlights work by Admas Habteslasie, Amy Stein, Andrea Robbin and Max Becher, Beatrix Reinhardt, Brian Ulrich, Deborah Willis, Irina Rozovsky, James Casebere, Linda Connor, Margaret Stratton, Peter Finnemore, Robert Benjamin, Susannah Sayler and Edward Morris, Sylvia de Swaan, Viktor Lugansky, and William Earle WIlliams.

Todd Gray: A Place That Looks Like Home
Light Work Gallery

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

For his exhibition, "A Place That Looks Like Home," artist Todd Gray re-frames and re-contextualizes images from his personal archive that spans over 40 years of his career as a photographer, sculptor, and performance artist. Gray describes himself as an artist and activist who primarily focuses on issues of race, class, gender, and colonialism.

His unique process of combining and layering a variety of images and fragments of images allows him the opportunity to create his own history and "my own position in the diaspora." Working with photographs of pop culture, documentary photographs of Ghana (where he keeps a studio), portraits of Michael Jackson, gang members from South Los Angeles, and photo documentation from the Hubble telescope, Gray asserts what he refers to as his own polymorphous identity that defies definition. Inspired by the work of cultural theorist Stuart Hall, Gray invites the viewer to participate in an "ever-unfinished conversation about identity and history."

She earned a BA in cultural anthropology from SUNY Albany, an MA from Syracuse University's Newhouse School of Public Communication, and an MFA from the Yale University School of Art. Suchy taught photography at Rochester Institute of Technology and Hartwick College, she has led master workshops in the USA, Italy and Ukraine.

*SOLD OUT* Lizzie Borden Took an Axe

Price: $20
Barnes Hiscock Mansion
930 James St., Syracuse

A multiple-award winner, Garrett Heater's Lizzie Borden Took an Axe utilizes court transcripts and inquest testimonies to bring the drama to life in a chronologically faithful adaptation. Striving to be the most historically accurate play written regarding the notorious events, the audience is challenged in an unbiased manner to come to their own conclusions as to who perpetrated the crimes.

Set throughout the rooms of the mansion, the play recreates scenes leading up to and immediately after the 1892 double-murder of wealthy businessman Andrew Borden and his second wife, Abby Durfee Gray Borden. Both were found mutilated in their home in Fall River, Massachusetts, by hatchet or axe and Andrew's 32 year old daughter Lizzie (step-daughter of Abby) was indicted and stood trial for the crime. She was eventually acquitted of the gruesome homicides and the crime has remained unsolved for over 120 years. Following her acquittal, Lizzie Borden remained in Fall River. Her friends and neighbors, once staunch supporters of her innocence, quickly left her side after the trial and she became a social pariah.

Lizzie Borden Took an Axe will thrill audiences once again this fall, having sold out of all performances at the Barnes-Hiscock Mansion over the past two years.

Tickets are available at 315-422-2445 or online at www.grbarnes.org/lizzie-borden-took-an-axe.

Lida Suchy is a first-generation American, born into a refugee family and often draws on this background as inspiration for her creative work. She earned a BA in cultural anthropology from SUNY Albany, an MA from Syracuse University's Newhouse School of Public Communication, and an MFA from the Yale University School of Art. Suchy taught photography at Rochester Institute of Technology and Hartwick College, she has led master workshops in the USA, Italy and Ukraine.

Marion Wilson has built collaborative partnerships with botanists, homeless people, students, and neighbors—accessing individual expertise and working non-hierarchically. Her own studio work uses artifacts of the photography industry in sculpture, painting and printed photographs; specifically researching and classifying endangered landscapes and useful and stress tolerant botanies. Wilson recently drove MossLab/The Mobile Field Station (a renovated RV as a mobile art and botany viewing lab) 1,600 miles from Syracuse to Miami as a special project for PULSE ART Fair 2015 collecting moss species and experiences of "first looking encounters" with species along the way. Wilson will have upcoming exhibitions and residencies at Schuykill Center for Art and Environment; McColl Center for the Arts in Charlotte, NC and Sculpture Space in Utica, NY. Her work has been published in Hyperallergic, The New York Times, Art in America and Sculpture Magazine.

Todd Gray: A Place That Looks Like Home
Light Work Gallery

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

For his exhibition, "A Place That Looks Like Home," artist Todd Gray re-frames and re-contextualizes images from his personal archive that spans over 40 years of his career as a photographer, sculptor, and performance artist. Gray describes himself as an artist and activist who primarily focuses on issues of race, class, gender, and colonialism.

His unique process of combining and layering a variety of images and fragments of images allows him the opportunity to create his own history and "my own position in the diaspora." Working with photographs of pop culture, documentary photographs of Ghana (where he keeps a studio), portraits of Michael Jackson, gang members from South Los Angeles, and photo documentation from the Hubble telescope, Gray asserts what he refers to as his own polymorphous identity that defies definition. Inspired by the work of cultural theorist Stuart Hall, Gray invites the viewer to participate in an "ever-unfinished conversation about identity and history."

10th & Wolf
Syracuse International Film Festival

Price: $10 individual (multi-film passes available)
Palace Theater
2384 James St., Syracuse

A man is forced to go against his family and his principles in the name of serving his country in this drama inspired by actual events. Tommy Santoro (James Marsden) was just a boy when his father was murdered, and young Tommy quickly discovered his dad was a high-ranking member of the Philadelphia Mafia.

Tommy grew up determined to stay on the right side of the law, but his brother Vincent (Brad Renfro) and cousin Joey (Giovanni Ribisi) had other ideas and ended up joining "the family business."

Tommy enlisted in the Army and served in Operation Desert Storm, but when he impulsively stole a jeep, he was arrested by the military police. However, Tommy finds he's not questioned by MP's, but by Horvath (Brian Dennehy), an FBI agent who knows all about his past and family history. Horvath has learned that Sicilian mobsters havebeen taking over the Philly rackets, and persuades Tommy to join up with Vincent and Joey in order to infiltrate the Mafia and serve as an informant to the FBI. Tommy grudgingly agrees, but he's uneasy about betraying his family and following the path that killed his father -- especially when he discovers his actions have put Vincent and Joey in grave danger.

2006, USA, drama, 107 minutes, written and directed by Bobby Moresco, Oscar winner for CRASH and SIFF Sophia Award winner. Q&A with Mr. Moresco following screening.

Rod Picott
Folkus Project

Price: $18 non-members, $15 members
May Memorial Unitarian Society
3800 E. Genesee St., Syracuse

A seriously gifted lyricist—a writer of words and phrases that resonate and lead to reflection.

It's been 15 years since Rod Picott laid down his work belt, picked up an acoustic guitar and put a permanent end to his gig as a sheet rock hanger. He'd been writing music in private for years, but it wasn't until 2001's "Tiger Tom Dixon's Blues"—a debut album that bridged the gap between between folk and Americana—that officially introduced him as a singer/songwriter, kick starting one of the more acclaimed careers in modern-day roots music. Since then, he's focused on a different kind of construction: building a catalog of songs that spin stories of hard work, heartache and the human condition.

In the mid-90s, Picott moved to Nashville where he established himself as one of the better new writers in town. He hosted a weekly showcase called "Rod Picott's Fireside Whiskey Hour" and opened shows for the likes of Alison Krauss and Union Station and Gillian Welch. His co-write "Broke Down" with Slaid Cleaves was the most played song on Americana radio in 2000. With his latest CD, "Fortune", he turns his focus inward, using himself—not the people around him—as the album's main character.

*SOLD OUT* Lizzie Borden Took an Axe

Price: $20
Barnes Hiscock Mansion
930 James St., Syracuse

A multiple-award winner, Garrett Heater's Lizzie Borden Took an Axe utilizes court transcripts and inquest testimonies to bring the drama to life in a chronologically faithful adaptation. Striving to be the most historically accurate play written regarding the notorious events, the audience is challenged in an unbiased manner to come to their own conclusions as to who perpetrated the crimes.

Set throughout the rooms of the mansion, the play recreates scenes leading up to and immediately after the 1892 double-murder of wealthy businessman Andrew Borden and his second wife, Abby Durfee Gray Borden. Both were found mutilated in their home in Fall River, Massachusetts, by hatchet or axe and Andrew's 32 year old daughter Lizzie (step-daughter of Abby) was indicted and stood trial for the crime. She was eventually acquitted of the gruesome homicides and the crime has remained unsolved for over 120 years. Following her acquittal, Lizzie Borden remained in Fall River. Her friends and neighbors, once staunch supporters of her innocence, quickly left her side after the trial and she became a social pariah.

Lizzie Borden Took an Axe will thrill audiences once again this fall, having sold out of all performances at the Barnes-Hiscock Mansion over the past two years.

Tickets are available at 315-422-2445 or online at www.grbarnes.org/lizzie-borden-took-an-axe.

Two friends, in an attempt to put their haunting combat experiences behind them, embark on an epic 2,700-mile trek on foot across America seeking redemption and healing as a way to close the moral chasm opened by war. Their odyssey across snowy mountains and vast deserts inspires an inner journey that culminates in a remarkable spiritual transformation that could light the way for other veterans seeking to reclaim their lives. Suicide among military veterans has reached epidemic proportions and can be the result of what mental health professionals call "moral injury"—lasting wounds to the soul caused by participation in events that go against one's deeply held sense of right and wrong. Almost Sunrise is an intimate, vérité film that eschews stereotypes, and instead, captures an unprecedented portrait of veterans—one of hope, potential and untold possibilities.

*SOLD OUT* Lizzie Borden Took an Axe

Price: $20
Barnes Hiscock Mansion
930 James St., Syracuse

A multiple-award winner, Garrett Heater's Lizzie Borden Took an Axe utilizes court transcripts and inquest testimonies to bring the drama to life in a chronologically faithful adaptation. Striving to be the most historically accurate play written regarding the notorious events, the audience is challenged in an unbiased manner to come to their own conclusions as to who perpetrated the crimes.

Set throughout the rooms of the mansion, the play recreates scenes leading up to and immediately after the 1892 double-murder of wealthy businessman Andrew Borden and his second wife, Abby Durfee Gray Borden. Both were found mutilated in their home in Fall River, Massachusetts, by hatchet or axe and Andrew's 32 year old daughter Lizzie (step-daughter of Abby) was indicted and stood trial for the crime. She was eventually acquitted of the gruesome homicides and the crime has remained unsolved for over 120 years. Following her acquittal, Lizzie Borden remained in Fall River. Her friends and neighbors, once staunch supporters of her innocence, quickly left her side after the trial and she became a social pariah.

Lizzie Borden Took an Axe will thrill audiences once again this fall, having sold out of all performances at the Barnes-Hiscock Mansion over the past two years.

Tickets are available at 315-422-2445 or online at www.grbarnes.org/lizzie-borden-took-an-axe.
