Finger Lakes Impressions: Pastels and Oil Paintings by Adriana Meiss
Gallery 54

Gallery 54
54 E. Genesee St., Skaneateles

Costa Rican-born Adriana considers herself a self-taught artist. Right after obtaining a BA degree in biology she took art courses at the University of Costa Rica for a year, but left that behind to continue her science studies in the United States. After a very long hiatus, she rediscovered the artist within and found that her experience and the intervening years of observation allowed her to undertake painting in a different way. She finds inspiration in nature and the way man has changed the environment. Her preferred medium is pastel and her favorite subjects are landscapes and flowers. Adriana lives in Syracuse and is a member of the Onondaga Art Guild and the Adirondack Pastel Society. She has won many awards in local and national shows. Her work is in private collections in the U.S. and abroad.

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."

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

Light Work is pleased to announce the 42nd annual Light Work Grants in Photography. The 2016 recipients are Robert Knight, Lida Suchy, and Marion Wilson. The Light Work Grants in Photography program is a part of Light Work's ongoing effort to provide support and encouragement to artists working in photography.

Robert Knight received an MFA in Photography from the Massachusetts College of Art & Design and a BA in Architecture and Economics from Yale University. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including at the Danforth Museum of Art in Massachusetts, Jen Bekman Gallery in New York, the LaGrange Museum in Georgia, The Bascom in North Carolina, the Houston Center for Photography in Texas, and at photography festivals in Nantes, Le Mans and Arles, France. Recent solo exhibitions include Rated G at Gallery Kayafas, Boston, MA; In God's House at the Munson Williams Proctor Art Museum, Utica, NY; and Class of 2015 at the Wellin Museum of Art, Clinton, NY. His work is in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and other private collections. Robert is currently Assistant Professor of Art at Hamilton College.

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. She currently teaches at Onondaga Community College and mentors students both at home and abroad. In recognition of her creative work, Suchy's awards include a Guggenheim Fellowship, Fulbright Scholarship, a Light Work Artist Residency and a Light Work Grant, a NYSCA Grant, an ArtsLink Grant, and an International Research and Exchanges Fellowship. Suchy has exhibited in galleries in the USA and Europe. Her work is included in public collections at the Brooklyn Museum, Bibliothèque Nationale, George Eastman Museum, the Franko Museum, Kryvorivnya, Ukraine and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

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.

Crystallized Memories: Works by Leigh Jerome
Gallery Apostrophe' S

Gallery Apostrophe' S
1100 Oak St., Syracuse

There will be a reception this evening 6:00-8:00 pm.

Time passes—memories fade. We remember the experiences of our lives in broad brushstrokes. The sharpness of presence and the immediacy of occurrence do not persist. The details of even our most dramatic and impassioned moments wash out. What remains are dull reproductions. "Crystallized Memories" is an immersive art installation of image, light, sculpture and perception that explores the transience of memory and the yearning for a lingering visceral reminiscence.

The Balcón Criollo 2016 exhibit features a gallery-wide installation of community-sourced photographs, family keepsakes, and meaningful pieces that celebrate our Latino family traditions, history and culture. This year, the show also features a new mural by local artist and Westside resident Juan A. Cruz, joined by Triana, a talented artist recently arrived from Cuba, now living in Syracuse.

The project also explores baseball, the national pastime, as a social and cultural force within U.S. Latino communities and across Latin America, as it advances into the second year of its ongoing program: "Latinos and Baseball: In the Barrios and the Big Leagues." This is part of a national community collecting and research initiative involving La Casita and the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History.

Jersey Boys is the Tony, Grammy, and Olivier Award-winning Best Musical about Rock and Roll Hall of Famers The Four Seasons: Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi.

The Jersey Boys creative team comprises two-time Tony Award-winning director Des McAnuff, book writers Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, composer Bob Gaudio, lyricist Bob Crewe and choreography by Sergio Trujillo.

Finger Lakes Impressions: Pastels and Oil Paintings by Adriana Meiss

Gallery 54
54 E. Genesee St., Skaneateles

Costa Rican-born Adriana considers herself a self-taught artist. Right after obtaining a BA degree in biology she took art courses at the University of Costa Rica for a year, but left that behind to continue her science studies in the United States. After a very long hiatus, she rediscovered the artist within and found that her experience and the intervening years of observation allowed her to undertake painting in a different way. She finds inspiration in nature and the way man has changed the environment. Her preferred medium is pastel and her favorite subjects are landscapes and flowers. Adriana lives in Syracuse and is a member of the Onondaga Art Guild and the Adirondack Pastel Society. She has won many awards in local and national shows. Her work is in private collections in the U.S. and abroad.

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."

Price: Free
Erie Canal Museum
318 Erie Blvd. E., Syracuse

A Rust Belt documentary, directed by Jack Storey.

People in the Rust Belt are thick-skinned. After years of being mocked as a dried-up region with nothing left to offer America, its cities are now rising from the ashes of the past, looking ahead to their role in the future of the country. Red, White and Blueprints examines how cities like Buffalo, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, and Detroit have reinvented themselves and how they've partnered together to do it. Instead of competing, they're sharing ideas, working for a cause bigger than their own city limits. This new energy comes from an abundance of vibrant young adults whose hometown pride has motivated them to make a difference. Red, White and Blueprints is proof of the Rust Belt's incredible resiliency. With all the innovation and ingenuity this documentary spotlights, the region's best days may still be ahead.

The screening will be followed by a facilitated discussion.

Finger Lakes Impressions: Pastels and Oil Paintings by Adriana Meiss
Gallery 54

Gallery 54
54 E. Genesee St., Skaneateles

Costa Rican-born Adriana considers herself a self-taught artist. Right after obtaining a BA degree in biology she took art courses at the University of Costa Rica for a year, but left that behind to continue her science studies in the United States. After a very long hiatus, she rediscovered the artist within and found that her experience and the intervening years of observation allowed her to undertake painting in a different way. She finds inspiration in nature and the way man has changed the environment. Her preferred medium is pastel and her favorite subjects are landscapes and flowers. Adriana lives in Syracuse and is a member of the Onondaga Art Guild and the Adirondack Pastel Society. She has won many awards in local and national shows. Her work is in private collections in the U.S. and abroad.

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."

Finger Lakes Impressions: Pastels and Oil Paintings by Adriana Meiss
Gallery 54

Gallery 54
54 E. Genesee St., Skaneateles

Costa Rican-born Adriana considers herself a self-taught artist. Right after obtaining a BA degree in biology she took art courses at the University of Costa Rica for a year, but left that behind to continue her science studies in the United States. After a very long hiatus, she rediscovered the artist within and found that her experience and the intervening years of observation allowed her to undertake painting in a different way. She finds inspiration in nature and the way man has changed the environment. Her preferred medium is pastel and her favorite subjects are landscapes and flowers. Adriana lives in Syracuse and is a member of the Onondaga Art Guild and the Adirondack Pastel Society. She has won many awards in local and national shows. Her work is in private collections in the U.S. and abroad.

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."

Adriana lives in Syracuse and is a member of the Onondaga Art Guild and the Adirondack Pastel Society. She has won many awards in local and national shows. Her work is in private collections in the U.S. and abroad.

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."
