Side by Side: Paintings by Claire Stankus LeMoyne College
Wilson Art Gallery, Noreen Reale Falcone Library
LeMoyne College,
Syracuse
Side by Side features paintings created in pairs. Spanning the last two years, these portraits, still life, and landscapes showcase the interaction between similar and repeated imagery. These paintings work together to identify relationships, and document subtle changes in time and mood. The figurative works explore parallel mannerisms in posed and candid portraits, while the landscapes and still life result from repeated observations of everyday perspectives. Routinely observing the same scenes everyday can illuminate how constant, mundane habits or surroundings develop new significance over time. Noticing these patterns in our lives reminds us how small and daily occurrences can become more memorable than a singular event, and encourages us to examine our environment a bit more closely. Claire Stankus studied painting and ceramics at Syracuse University. In her junior year she traveled to Florence, Italy for a semester abroad to study painting and art history. She graduated with a BFA in Painting in 2012. She was awarded a scholarship to attend the School of Art at the Chautauqua Institution in 2012, and in 2013 spent a month painting at the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, VT. She plans to enter an MFA program in the fall.

Apartheid and Identity: Race. Place. Being. SUNY Oswego Metro Center at the Atrium
SUNY Oswego Metro Center at the Atrium
2 Clinton Square,
Syracuse
The multimedia exhibition, under the direction of Oswego art department chair Cynthia Clabough, will explore the convergences between South Africans' struggles against apartheid and the American Civil Rights Movement. The exhibition, part of a collaboration titled "Race. Place. Being.," will pick up on themes raised by the play "Sizwe Banzi Is Dead" at Syracuse Stage and a display of Rochester native Matt Herron's civil rights-era photos at ArtRage Gallery. The work of Herron, whose photographs from the Selma-to-Montgomery voting rights march and other pivotal civil rights events have appeared in publications around the world, will appear at "Race. Place. Being." venues on large banners on loan from the Birmingham Civil Right Institute. Other artists represented in the SUNY Oswego Metro Center exhibition will include Ellen M. Blalock, Mike Greenlar, Dale Pierce, Mary Stanley, and Vanessa Johnson. Though oceans separated apartheid and the Civil Rights Movement, both struggles hinged on how those seeking freedom succeeded in visually defining who they were. Each movement echoed the other's successes and setbacks. "Apartheid and Identity" focuses on such events as Nelson Mandela's long imprisonment, begun in 1964, and the Soweto uprising; the 1965 Selma march and earlier violent attempts in the South to quell desegregation, and voting rights for African Americans.

Gallery Exhibition: Persistence of Vision: Works by Colleen Woolpert Onondaga Community College
Ann Felton Multicultural Center and Gallery
Onondaga Community College,
Syracuse
The exhibition, Persistence of Vision, by local artist Colleen Woolpert, presents work in photography, video, and interactive objects and installations that originated with the artist's experience working with visually impaired adults in Seattle in 2013. Questions about visualization and navigating through darkness spurned ideas related to the "the great unknown" and space exploration. When an artist residency brought Woolpert to Syracuse in January 2014, the thread continued as an investigation of early motion picture innovations of the late 1800s in Syracuse, and ultimately the invention of her own optical device. The flicker of one image displacing the next is the persistent blink of light upon darkness.

The Automobile: Design Considerations and Local Manifestations Syracuse University Library Special Collections Research Center
Price: Free Bird Library, 6th Floor
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
"The Automobile" provides a sampling of the ways in which the automobile evolved in the Syracuse area and a glimpse into the innovations of some of the most significant mid-20th-century automobile designers. The centerpiece of the exhibition is the air-cooled Franklin car, the most famous of Syracuse's automobile lines, with its remarkably flexible and durable wooden frame. The exhibition will also include drawings, sketches, and photographs from SCRC's industrial design collections by designers Howard A. Darrin, Claude Hill, Raymond Loewy, Budd Steinhilber, and Walter Dorwin Teague. Darrin was known for his designs for exotic luxury and sports cars. Claude Hill created some important concept car designs, while Raymond Loewy's photographs document a number of striking Studebaker model designs. Budd Steinhilber was a member of the design team for the revolutionary rear-engine 1948 Tucker automobile, and Walter Dorwin Teague designed for both the Ford Motor Company and the Marmon Motor Company.

Gary Metz: Quaking Aspen Light Work Gallery
Price: Free Robert B. Menschel Photography Gallery
Schine Student Center, 306 University Ave.,
Syracuse
In the 1970s, the late photographer and educator Gary Metz generated a significant body of work that was very much in the spirit of the times. Metz's "Quaking Aspen: A Lyric Complaint" challenged the first 100 years of landscape photography, which had placed a major emphasis on depicting nature as sublime, heroic and unspoiled. Unlike previous photographers who glorified nature, Metz and his contemporaries wrenched photography out of the national parks and replaced the scenic with the vernacular of the everyday American landscape. A number of Metz's colleagues received wide recognition for their similar investigations culminating in the seminal 1975 exhibition "The New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape" at the Museum of Photography at the George Eastman House. Metz never received the same level of acknowledgement. Now, 40 years later, his "Quaking Aspen: A Lyric Complaint" is as powerful and relevant as ever, resonating with current interests in ecology and the everyday landscape. Metz spent the month of August 1985 as an artist-in-residence at Light Work. Metz was the was a professor at the University of Colorado, Boulder; director of Education at the International Center of Photography; and head of the photography department at the Rhode Island School of Design. He received NEA fellowships in photography in 1972 and 1980, and is represented in various collections including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, George Eastman House in Rochester, the National Gallery of Canada, and the Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester.

Lodging Landmark: The Heritage of the Hotel Syracuse Onondaga Historical Association
Price: Free Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
The exhibit will feature 20 framed images along with a small selection of original archival items and artifacts. Fourteen historic images will be drawn from the extensive photographic files on the hotel maintained in the OHA's permanent collection.

Additionally, there will be a half-dozen recent interior images taken this year by professional photographer Bruce Harvey. These show that the hotel still maintains an irreplaceable majesty despite years of faded glory. The hotel, which opened in 1924, has been closed and dormant for several years but a new owner has begun a massive project to renovate it for the future while restoring its grand architecture.

It's in Our Very Name: The Italian Heritage of Syracuse Onondaga Historical Association
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
As a crossroads for many immigrants from around the world, Syracuse became the home for Italians who were looking to build a better life. In turn, these immigrants changed Syracuse both physically, by helping with different architectural and infrastructure projects, and culturally, by importing new foods and customs to our community and by participation at all levels in the Syracuse economy. The exhibit will focus on the history and influence of Italian culture in Syracuse beginning with the name given to this village in 1825, which was adopted when John Wilkinson was inspired by a poem about Siracusa, Sicily. By the 1880s, an increasing number of Italian immigrants began to arrive to take advantage of the thriving Syracuse economy and other opportunities that were available. Some artifacts that will be highlighted include a wine press, a set of wooden bocce balls, and purses made at the Resnick purse factory.

Women's Work: Feminist Art from the Everson's Collection Everson Museum of Art
Price: Suggested donation, $5 adults Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
The Feminist Art Movement emerged in the late 1960s in various cities around the globe. Proponents of the movement sought to influence cultural attitudes and build a new framework for viewing the world, one that included and validated women's experiences. This group of artists did not conform to a single style or medium; instead, they united around ideas of producing art reflective of women's lives, transforming stereotypes, and drawing attention to women's historic contributions to art and society. Drawing from the Everson's collection, this exhibit brings together works by some of the most important artists of the Feminist Art Movement.

None of That/Nada de eso, works by Juan Cruz La Casita Cultural Center
La Casita Cultural Center
109 Otisco St.,
Syracuse
In his exhibition None of That (in Spanish, Nada de eso), Juan Cruz reflects on his discontent, on what he describes as a futile attempt to communicate something, constantly seeking and not finding a more far-reaching meaning in his work. The creative process has led the artist to reexamine his body of work from decades of painting and cut it to pieces. Cruz has been slicing many of his signature pieces, large canvases full of color in motion, and recomposing them into new works that combine bits from past works. The notion of the artist destroying his own work may seem a like a sort of violent act, but for Juan it is more of a calculated, profoundly meditated process. Cruz seems to be expressing what comes from a deeply felt stir that is shared by so many of us in our own lives at certain times, when we try to make sense, searching for the meaning of it all, and finding none of that. Juan Alberto Cruz was born in Cataño, Puerto Rico in 1941. His work has been recognized and presented in museums and galleries locally and statewide, as well as in his native Puerto Rico.

Side by Side: Paintings by Claire Stankus LeMoyne College
Wilson Art Gallery, Noreen Reale Falcone Library
LeMoyne College,
Syracuse
Side by Side features paintings created in pairs. Spanning the last two years, these portraits, still life, and landscapes showcase the interaction between similar and repeated imagery. These paintings work together to identify relationships, and document subtle changes in time and mood. The figurative works explore parallel mannerisms in posed and candid portraits, while the landscapes and still life result from repeated observations of everyday perspectives. Routinely observing the same scenes everyday can illuminate how constant, mundane habits or surroundings develop new significance over time. Noticing these patterns in our lives reminds us how small and daily occurrences can become more memorable than a singular event, and encourages us to examine our environment a bit more closely. Claire Stankus studied painting and ceramics at Syracuse University. In her junior year she traveled to Florence, Italy for a semester abroad to study painting and art history. She graduated with a BFA in Painting in 2012. She was awarded a scholarship to attend the School of Art at the Chautauqua Institution in 2012, and in 2013 spent a month painting at the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, VT. She plans to enter an MFA program in the fall.

Apartheid and Identity: Race. Place. Being. SUNY Oswego Metro Center at the Atrium
SUNY Oswego Metro Center at the Atrium
2 Clinton Square,
Syracuse
The multimedia exhibition, under the direction of Oswego art department chair Cynthia Clabough, will explore the convergences between South Africans' struggles against apartheid and the American Civil Rights Movement. The exhibition, part of a collaboration titled "Race. Place. Being.," will pick up on themes raised by the play "Sizwe Banzi Is Dead" at Syracuse Stage and a display of Rochester native Matt Herron's civil rights-era photos at ArtRage Gallery. The work of Herron, whose photographs from the Selma-to-Montgomery voting rights march and other pivotal civil rights events have appeared in publications around the world, will appear at "Race. Place. Being." venues on large banners on loan from the Birmingham Civil Right Institute. Other artists represented in the SUNY Oswego Metro Center exhibition will include Ellen M. Blalock, Mike Greenlar, Dale Pierce, Mary Stanley, and Vanessa Johnson. Though oceans separated apartheid and the Civil Rights Movement, both struggles hinged on how those seeking freedom succeeded in visually defining who they were. Each movement echoed the other's successes and setbacks. "Apartheid and Identity" focuses on such events as Nelson Mandela's long imprisonment, begun in 1964, and the Soweto uprising; the 1965 Selma march and earlier violent attempts in the South to quell desegregation, and voting rights for African Americans.

The exhibition, Persistence of Vision, by local artist Colleen Woolpert, presents work in photography, video, and interactive objects and installations that originated with the artist's experience working with visually impaired adults in Seattle in 2013. Questions about visualization and navigating through darkness spurned ideas related to the "the great unknown" and space exploration. When an artist residency brought Woolpert to Syracuse in January 2014, the thread continued as an investigation of early motion picture innovations of the late 1800s in Syracuse, and ultimately the invention of her own optical device. The flicker of one image displacing the next is the persistent blink of light upon darkness.

Price: Free Robert B. Menschel Photography Gallery
Schine Student Center, 306 University Ave.,
Syracuse
In the 1970s, the late photographer and educator Gary Metz generated a significant body of work that was very much in the spirit of the times. Metz's "Quaking Aspen: A Lyric Complaint" challenged the first 100 years of landscape photography, which had placed a major emphasis on depicting nature as sublime, heroic and unspoiled. Unlike previous photographers who glorified nature, Metz and his contemporaries wrenched photography out of the national parks and replaced the scenic with the vernacular of the everyday American landscape. A number of Metz's colleagues received wide recognition for their similar investigations culminating in the seminal 1975 exhibition "The New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape" at the Museum of Photography at the George Eastman House. Metz never received the same level of acknowledgement. Now, 40 years later, his "Quaking Aspen: A Lyric Complaint" is as powerful and relevant as ever, resonating with current interests in ecology and the everyday landscape. Metz spent the month of August 1985 as an artist-in-residence at Light Work. Metz was the was a professor at the University of Colorado, Boulder; director of Education at the International Center of Photography; and head of the photography department at the Rhode Island School of Design. He received NEA fellowships in photography in 1972 and 1980, and is represented in various collections including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, George Eastman House in Rochester, the National Gallery of Canada, and the Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester.

Lodging Landmark: The Heritage of the Hotel Syracuse Onondaga Historical Association
Price: Free Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
The exhibit will feature 20 framed images along with a small selection of original archival items and artifacts. Fourteen historic images will be drawn from the extensive photographic files on the hotel maintained in the OHA's permanent collection. These range from a 1923 view of construction to the 1948 interior of the famous Rainbow Lounge, along with historic scenes of the Cavalier Room, the Persian Terrace and other locations from its heyday. Additionally, there will be a half-dozen recent interior images taken this year by professional photographer Bruce Harvey. These show that the hotel still maintains an irreplaceable majesty despite years of faded glory. The hotel, which opened in 1924, has been closed and dormant for several years but a new owner has begun a massive project to renovate it for the future while restoring its grand architecture.

It's in Our Very Name: The Italian Heritage of Syracuse Onondaga Historical Association
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
As a crossroads for many immigrants from around the world, Syracuse became the home for Italians who were looking to build a better life. In turn, these immigrants changed Syracuse both physically, by helping with different architectural and infrastructure projects, and culturally, by importing new foods and customs to our community and by participation at all levels in the Syracuse economy. The exhibit will focus on the history and influence of Italian culture in Syracuse beginning with the name given to this village in 1825, which was adopted when John Wilkinson was inspired by a poem about Siracusa, Sicily. By the 1880s, an increasing number of Italian immigrants began to arrive to take advantage of the thriving Syracuse economy and other opportunities that were available. Some artifacts that will be highlighted include a wine press, a set of wooden bocce balls, and purses made at the Resnick purse factory.

Women's Work: Feminist Art from the Everson's Collection Everson Museum of Art
Price: Suggested donation, $5 adults Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
The Feminist Art Movement emerged in the late 1960s in various cities around the globe. Proponents of the movement sought to influence cultural attitudes and build a new framework for viewing the world, one that included and validated women's experiences. This group of artists did not conform to a single style or medium; instead, they united around ideas of producing art reflective of women's lives, transforming stereotypes, and drawing attention to women's historic contributions to art and society. Drawing from the Everson's collection, this exhibit brings together works by some of the most important artists of the Feminist Art Movement.

None of That/Nada de eso, works by Juan Cruz La Casita Cultural Center
La Casita Cultural Center
109 Otisco St.,
Syracuse
In his exhibition None of That (in Spanish, Nada de eso), Juan Cruz reflects on his discontent, on what he describes as a futile attempt to communicate something, constantly seeking and not finding a more far-reaching meaning in his work. The creative process has led the artist to reexamine his body of work from decades of painting and cut it to pieces. Cruz has been slicing many of his signature pieces, large canvases full of color in motion, and recomposing them into new works that combine bits from past works. The notion of the artist destroying his own work may seem a like a sort of violent act, but for Juan it is more of a calculated, profoundly meditated process. Cruz seems to be expressing what comes from a deeply felt stir that is shared by so many of us in our own lives at certain times, when we try to make sense, searching for the meaning of it all, and finding none of that. Juan Alberto Cruz was born in Cataño, Puerto Rico in 1941. His work has been recognized and presented in museums and galleries locally and statewide, as well as in his native Puerto Rico.

Jeannette Ehlers: Black Bullets Urban Video Project
Everson Museum of Art Plaza
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
"Black Bullets" (2012) by Danish artist Jeannette Ehlers is an architectural projection on the north facade of the Everson Museum of Art, beginning at dusk. This exhibition is presented as part of "Celestial Navigation: a year into the afro future", a year-long program of exhibitions and events at Urban Video Project and partner organizations that takes afrofuturism as its point of departure. Jeannette Ehlers' haunting piece is inspired by the Haitian Revolution of 1791, which resulted in the world's first black republic. Filmed on location at La Citadelle in Haiti, the piece is a tribute to the act of revolt. Jeannette Ehlers is based in Copenhagen, Denmark. A 2006 graduate of The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Ehlers' works revolve around the Danish slave trade in the colonial era. She is of Danish and Trinidadian parentage.

Side by Side: Paintings by Claire Stankus LeMoyne College
Wilson Art Gallery, Noreen Reale Falcone Library
LeMoyne College,
Syracuse
Side by Side features paintings created in pairs. Spanning the last two years, these portraits, still life, and landscapes showcase the interaction between similar and repeated imagery. These paintings work together to identify relationships, and document subtle changes in time and mood. The figurative works explore parallel mannerisms in posed and candid portraits, while the landscapes and still life result from repeated observations of everyday perspectives. Routinely observing the same scenes everyday can illuminate how constant, mundane habits or surroundings develop new significance over time. Noticing these patterns in our lives reminds us how small and daily occurrences can become more memorable than a singular event, and encourages us to examine our environment a bit more closely. Claire Stankus studied painting and ceramics at Syracuse University. In her junior year she traveled to Florence, Italy for a semester abroad to study painting and art history. She graduated with a BFA in Painting in 2012. She was awarded a scholarship to attend the School of Art at the Chautauqua Institution in 2012, and in 2013 spent a month painting at the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, VT. She plans to enter an MFA program in the fall.

Apartheid and Identity: Race. Place. Being. SUNY Oswego Metro Center at the Atrium
SUNY Oswego Metro Center at the Atrium
2 Clinton Square,
Syracuse
The multimedia exhibition, under the direction of Oswego art department chair Cynthia Clabough, will explore the convergences between South Africans' struggles against apartheid and the American Civil Rights Movement. The exhibition, part of a collaboration titled "Race. Place. Being.," will pick up on themes raised by the play "Sizwe Banzi Is Dead" at Syracuse Stage and a display of Rochester native Matt Herron's civil rights-era photos at ArtRage Gallery. The work of Herron, whose photographs from the Selma-to-Montgomery voting rights march and other pivotal civil rights events have appeared in publications around the world, will appear at "Race. Place. Being." venues on large banners on loan from the Birmingham Civil Right Institute. Other artists represented in the SUNY Oswego Metro Center exhibition will include Ellen M. Blalock, Mike Greenlar, Dale Pierce, Mary Stanley, and Vanessa Johnson. Though oceans separated apartheid and the Civil Rights Movement, both struggles hinged on how those seeking freedom succeeded in visually defining who they were. Each movement echoed the other's successes and setbacks. "Apartheid and Identity" focuses on such events as Nelson Mandela's long imprisonment, begun in 1964, and the Soweto uprising; the 1965 Selma march and earlier violent attempts in the South to quell desegregation, and voting rights for African Americans.

Gallery Exhibition: Persistence of Vision: Works by Colleen Woolpert Onondaga Community College
Ann Felton Multicultural Center and Gallery
Onondaga Community College,
Syracuse
The exhibition, Persistence of Vision, by local artist Colleen Woolpert, presents work in photography, video, and interactive objects and installations that originated with the artist's experience working with visually impaired adults in Seattle in 2013. Questions about visualization and navigating through darkness spurned ideas related to the "the great unknown" and space exploration. When an artist residency brought Woolpert to Syracuse in January 2014, the thread continued as an investigation of early motion picture innovations of the late 1800s in Syracuse, and ultimately the invention of her own optical device. The flicker of one image displacing the next is the persistent blink of light upon darkness.

Gary Metz: Quaking Aspen Light Work Gallery
Price: Free Robert B. Menschel Photography Gallery
Schine Student Center, 306 University Ave.,
Syracuse
In the 1970s, the late photographer and educator Gary Metz generated a significant body of work that was very much in the spirit of the times. Metz's "Quaking Aspen: A Lyric Complaint" challenged the first 100 years of landscape photography, which had placed a major emphasis on depicting nature as sublime, heroic and unspoiled. Unlike previous photographers who glorified nature, Metz and his contemporaries wrenched photography out of the national parks and replaced the scenic with the vernacular of the everyday American landscape. A number of Metz's colleagues received wide recognition for their similar investigations culminating in the seminal 1975 exhibition "The New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape" at the Museum of Photography at the George Eastman House. Metz never received the same level of acknowledgement. Now, 40 years later, his "Quaking Aspen: A Lyric Complaint" is as powerful and relevant as ever, resonating with current interests in ecology and the everyday landscape. Metz spent the month of August 1985 as an artist-in-residence at Light Work. Metz was the was a professor at the University of Colorado, Boulder; director of Education at the International Center of Photography; and head of the photography department at the Rhode Island School of Design. He received NEA fellowships in photography in 1972 and 1980, and is represented in various collections including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, George Eastman House in Rochester, the National Gallery of Canada, and the Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester.

It's in Our Very Name: The Italian Heritage of Syracuse Onondaga Historical Association
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
As a crossroads for many immigrants from around the world, Syracuse became the home for Italians who were looking to build a better life. In turn, these immigrants changed Syracuse both physically, by helping with different architectural and infrastructure projects, and culturally, by importing new foods and customs to our community and by participation at all levels in the Syracuse economy. The exhibit will focus on the history and influence of Italian culture in Syracuse beginning with the name given to this village in 1825, which was adopted when John Wilkinson was inspired by a poem about Siracusa, Sicily. By the 1880s, an increasing number of Italian immigrants began to arrive to take advantage of the thriving Syracuse economy and other opportunities that were available. Some artifacts that will be highlighted include a wine press, a set of wooden bocce balls, and purses made at the Resnick purse factory.

321 Montgomery St.,

The exhibit will feature 20 framed images along with a small selection of original archival items and artifacts. Fourteen historic images will be drawn from the extensive photographic files on the hotel maintained in the OHA's permanent collection. These range from a 1923 view of construction to the 1948 interior of the famous Rainbow Lounge, along with historic scenes of the Cavalier Room, the Persian Terrace and other locations from its heyday. Additionally, there will be a half-dozen recent interior images taken this year by professional photographer Bruce Harvey. These show that the hotel still maintains an irreplaceable majesty despite years of faded glory. The hotel, which opened in 1924, has been closed and dormant for several years but a new owner has begun a massive project to renovate it for the future while restoring its grand architecture.

Manifestation & Ambiguity Gallery 4040
Price: Free Gallery 4040
4040 New Court Ave (off Midler),
Syracuse
"Manifestation & Ambiguity" features works by artists that examine and call into question the formation and perception of identity, of how we view ourselves and others. Marna Bell's black & white cinematic series, "Imperfect Memories", exists as reclaimed visions of past experiences from her childhood amnesia. Lacey McKinney's indistinct, "I Am You/Dissolution Paintings", suggest in part that time acts in opposition to the idea of a fixed or absolute self, while Juan Perdiguero's, "Loop" series utilizes large scale drawings of chimpanzees to represent humanistic concepts. This exhibition encourages the viewer to engage the work beyond a formal pictorial response.

None of That/Nada de eso, works by Juan Cruz La Casita Cultural Center
La Casita Cultural Center
109 Otisco St.,
Syracuse
In his exhibition None of That (in Spanish, Nada de eso), Juan Cruz reflects on his discontent, on what he describes as a futile attempt to communicate something, constantly seeking and not finding a more far-reaching meaning in his work. The creative process has led the artist to reexamine his body of work from decades of painting and cut it to pieces. Cruz has been slicing many of his signature pieces, large canvases full of color in motion, and recomposing them into new works that combine bits from past works. The notion of the artist destroying his own work may seem a like a sort of violent act, but for Juan it is more of a calculated, profoundly meditated process. Cruz seems to be expressing what comes from a deeply felt stir that is shared by so many of us in our own lives at certain times, when we try to make sense, searching for the meaning of it all, and finding none of that. Juan Alberto Cruz was born in Cataño, Puerto Rico in 1941. His work has been recognized and presented in museums and galleries locally and statewide, as well as in his native Puerto Rico.

Jeannette Ehlers: Black Bullets Urban Video Project
Everson Museum of Art Plaza
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
"Black Bullets" (2012) by Danish artist Jeannette Ehlers is an architectural projection on the north facade of the Everson Museum of Art, beginning at dusk. This exhibition is presented as part of "Celestial Navigation: a year into the afro future", a year-long program of exhibitions and events at Urban Video Project and partner organizations that takes afrofuturism as its point of departure. Jeannette Ehlers' haunting piece is inspired by the Haitian Revolution of 1791, which resulted in the world's first black republic. Filmed on location at La Citadelle in Haiti, the piece is a tribute to the act of revolt. Jeannette Ehlers is based in Copenhagen, Denmark. A 2006 graduate of The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Ehlers' works revolve around the Danish slave trade in the colonial era. She is of Danish and Trinidadian parentage.

3800 E. Genesee St.,

Cricket Tell the Weather is an indie string band featuring bluegrass-inspired original music. Cricket is rooted in the bluegrass tradition, and expands to include rock, pop, and chamber ensemble elements. The band represents one of the most exciting crews of younger folks in the New York bluegrass scene right now. Along with strong original material, Cricket performs traditional, rock, pop, and Americana material with youthful energy, as well as professional solidity. The quintet's voice carries a new spirit that explores a century of influences, owing as much to the traditions that inspired bluegrass to the journey that follows. Songwriters Andrea Asprelli (fiddle) and Jason Borisoff (guitar) are well-known to local "freshgrass" fans. They met and played in Syracuse, in the band Atlantic Flyway. Jason was playing in Syracuse bluegrass band Boots N Shorts and Andrea responded to a Craigslist ad they posted looking for a fiddler.

Side by Side: Paintings by Claire Stankus LeMoyne College
Wilson Art Gallery, Noreen Reale Falcone Library
LeMoyne College,
Syracuse
Side by Side features paintings created in pairs. Spanning the last two years, these portraits, still life, and landscapes showcase the interaction between similar and repeated imagery. These paintings work together to identify relationships, and document subtle changes in time and mood. The figurative works explore parallel mannerisms in posed and candid portraits, while the landscapes and still life result from repeated observations of everyday perspectives. Routinely observing the same scenes everyday can illuminate how constant, mundane habits or surroundings develop new significance over time. Noticing these patterns in our lives reminds us how small and daily occurrences can become more memorable than a singular event, and encourages us to examine our environment a bit more closely. Claire Stankus studied painting and ceramics at Syracuse University. In her junior year she traveled to Florence, Italy for a semester abroad to study painting and art history. She graduated with a BFA in Painting in 2012. She was awarded a scholarship to attend the School of Art at the Chautauqua Institution in 2012, and in 2013 spent a month painting at the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, VT. She plans to enter an MFA program in the fall.

Burchfield (1893-1967), Arthur B. Davies (1862-1928), Arthur G. Dove (1880-1946), Arshile Gorky (1904-48), Edward Hopper (1882-1967), George B. Luks (1866-1933), Reginald Marsh (1898-1954), Jackson Pollock (1912-56), Maurice B. Prendergast (1858-1924), Theodoros Stamos (1922-97), and Mark Tobey (1890-1976). Additional works are drawn from the Everson Museum's permanent collection. Through these paintings visitors will explore three kinds of traditional artistic subject matter: landscape, still life, and figurative work. Other works in the exhibition embody different manifestations of the mid-20th century art movement known as Abstract Expressionism—the first American art movement to receive international recognition and influence. In addition to the iconic beauty of the works in the exhibition, visitors will have an opportunity to observe how leading modern American artists depicted similar representational and abstract subject matter. Docent-led tours are available at 2:00 pm daily at no additional cost. Check in at the Visitor Services Desk.

It's in Our Very Name: The Italian Heritage of Syracuse Onondaga Historical Association
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
As a crossroads for many immigrants from around the world, Syracuse became the home for Italians who were looking to build a better life. In turn, these immigrants changed Syracuse both physically, by helping with different architectural and infrastructure projects, and culturally, by importing new foods and customs to our community and by participation at all levels in the Syracuse economy. The exhibit will focus on the history and influence of Italian culture in Syracuse beginning with the name given to this village in 1825, which was adopted when John Wilkinson was inspired by a poem about Siracusa, Sicily. By the 1880s, an increasing number of Italian immigrants began to arrive to take advantage of the thriving Syracuse economy and other opportunities that were available. Some artifacts that will be highlighted include a wine press, a set of wooden bocce balls, and purses made at the Resnick purse factory.

Selma to Montgomery March at 50: Civil Rights Photographs by Matt Herron ArtRage Gallery
Price: Free ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave.,
Syracuse
The 1965 Selma marches were pivotal events in the Civil Rights Movement, bringing international attention to the brutality of racist segregation and amplifying Alabama's denial of voting rights to African Americans. Herron's powerful photographs convey not just the political but the personal impact of this momentous struggle. Herron's photos have appeared in virtually every major picture magazine in the world. Based in Mississippi in the early 60s, he covered the Civil Rights struggle for Life, Look, Time, Newsweek, and the Saturday Evening Post, as well as providing pictures for the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). His photographs are in the permanent collections of the George Eastman House, the Smithsonian Institution, the High Museum of Art, and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture.

Manifestation & Ambiguity Gallery 4040
Price: Free Gallery 4040
4040 New Court Ave (off Midler),
Syracuse
"Manifestation & Ambiguity" features works by artists that examine and call into question the formation and perception of identity, of how we view ourselves and others. Marna Bell's black & white cinematic series, "Imperfect Memories", exists as reclaimed visions of past experiences from her childhood amnesia. Lacey McKinney's indistinct, "I Am You/Dissolution Paintings", suggest in part that time acts in opposition to the idea of a fixed or absolute self, while Juan Perdiguero's, "Loop" series utilizes large scale drawings of chimpanzees to represent humanistic concepts. This exhibition encourages the viewer to engage the work beyond a formal pictorial response.

Jeannette Ehlers: Black Bullets Urban Video Project
Everson Museum of Art Plaza
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
"Black Bullets" (2012) by Danish artist Jeannette Ehlers is an architectural projection on the north facade of the Everson Museum of Art, beginning at dusk. This exhibition is presented as part of "Celestial Navigation: a year into the afro future", a year-long program of exhibitions and events at Urban Video Project and partner organizations that takes afrofuturism as its point of departure. Jeannette Ehlers' haunting piece is inspired by the Haitian Revolution of 1791, which resulted in the world's first black republic. Filmed on location at La Citadelle in Haiti, the piece is a tribute to the act of revolt. Jeannette Ehlers is based in Copenhagen, Denmark. A 2006 graduate of The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Ehlers' works revolve around the Danish slave trade in the colonial era. She is of Danish and Trinidadian parentage.

Gary Metz: Quaking Aspen Light Work Gallery
Price: Free Robert B. Menschel Photography Gallery
Schine Student Center, 306 University Ave.,
Syracuse
In the 1970s, the late photographer and educator Gary Metz generated a significant body of work that was very much in the spirit of the times. Metz's "Quaking Aspen: A Lyric Complaint" challenged the first 100 years of landscape photography, which had placed a major emphasis on depicting nature as sublime, heroic and unspoiled. Unlike previous photographers who glorified nature, Metz and his contemporaries wrenched photography out of the national parks and replaced the scenic with the vernacular of the everyday American landscape. A number of Metz's colleagues received wide recognition for their similar investigations culminating in the seminal 1975 exhibition "The New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape" at the Museum of Photography at the George Eastman House. Metz never received the same level of acknowledgement. Now, 40 years later, his "Quaking Aspen: A Lyric Complaint" is as powerful and relevant as ever, resonating with current interests in ecology and the everyday landscape. Metz spent the month of August 1985 as an artist-in-residence at Light Work. Metz was the was a professor at the University of Colorado, Boulder; director of Education at the International Center of Photography; and head of the photography department at the Rhode Island School of Design. He received NEA fellowships in photography in 1972 and 1980, and is represented in various collections including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, George Eastman House in Rochester, the National Gallery of Canada, and the Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester.

It's in Our Very Name: The Italian Heritage of Syracuse Onondaga Historical Association
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
As a crossroads for many immigrants from around the world, Syracuse became the home for Italians who were looking to build a better life. In turn, these immigrants changed Syracuse both physically, by helping with different architectural and infrastructure projects, and culturally, by importing new foods and customs to our community and by participation at all levels in the Syracuse economy. The exhibit will focus on the history and influence of Italian culture in Syracuse beginning with the name given to this village in 1825, which was adopted when John Wilkinson was inspired by a poem about Siracusa, Sicily. By the 1880s, an increasing number of Italian immigrants began to arrive to take advantage of the thriving Syracuse economy and other opportunities that were available. Some artifacts that will be highlighted include a wine press, a set of wooden bocce balls, and purses made at the Resnick purse factory.

Women's Work: Feminist Art from the Everson's Collection Everson Museum of Art
Price: Suggested donation, $5 adults Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
The Feminist Art Movement emerged in the late 1960s in various cities around the globe. Proponents of the movement sought to influence cultural attitudes and build a new framework for viewing the world, one that included and validated women's experiences. This group of artists did not conform to a single style or medium; instead, they united around ideas of producing art reflective of women's lives, transforming stereotypes, and drawing attention to women's historic contributions to art and society. Drawing from the Everson's collection, this exhibit brings together works by some of the most important artists of the Feminist Art Movement.

Side by Side: Paintings by Claire Stankus LeMoyne College
Wilson Art Gallery, Noreen Reale Falcone Library
LeMoyne College,
Syracuse
Side by Side features paintings created in pairs. Spanning the last two years, these portraits, still life, and landscapes showcase the interaction between similar and repeated imagery. These paintings work together to identify relationships, and document subtle changes in time and mood. The figurative works explore parallel mannerisms in posed and candid portraits, while the landscapes and still life result from repeated observations of everyday perspectives. Routinely observing the same scenes everyday can illuminate how constant, mundane habits or surroundings develop new significance over time. Noticing these patterns in our lives reminds us how small and daily occurrences can become more memorable than a singular event, and encourages us to examine our environment a bit more closely. Claire Stankus studied painting and ceramics at Syracuse University. In her junior year she traveled to Florence, Italy for a semester abroad to study painting and art history. She graduated with a BFA in Painting in 2012. She was awarded a scholarship to attend the School of Art at the Chautauqua Institution in 2012, and in 2013 spent a month painting at the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, VT. She plans to enter an MFA program in the fall.

Apartheid and Identity: Race. Place. Being. SUNY Oswego Metro Center at the Atrium
SUNY Oswego Metro Center at the Atrium
2 Clinton Square,
Syracuse
The multimedia exhibition, under the direction of Oswego art department chair Cynthia Clabough, will explore the convergences between South Africans' struggles against apartheid and the American Civil Rights Movement. The exhibition, part of a collaboration titled "Race. Place. Being.," will pick up on themes raised by the play "Sizwe Banzi Is Dead" at Syracuse Stage and a display of Rochester native Matt Herron's civil rights-era photos at ArtRage Gallery. The work of Herron, whose photographs from the Selma-to-Montgomery voting rights march and other pivotal civil rights events have appeared in publications around the world, will appear at "Race. Place. Being." venues on large banners on loan from the Birmingham Civil Right Institute. Other artists represented in the SUNY Oswego Metro Center exhibition will include Ellen M. Blalock, Mike Greenlar, Dale Pierce, Mary Stanley, and Vanessa Johnson. Though oceans separated apartheid and the Civil Rights Movement, both struggles hinged on how those seeking freedom succeeded in visually defining who they were. Each movement echoed the other's successes and setbacks. "Apartheid and Identity" focuses on such events as Nelson Mandela's long imprisonment, begun in 1964, and the Soweto uprising; the 1965 Selma march and earlier violent attempts in the South to quell desegregation, and voting rights for African Americans.

Gallery Exhibition: Persistence of Vision: Works by Colleen Woolpert Onondaga Community College
Ann Felton Multicultural Center and Gallery
Onondaga Community College,
Syracuse
The exhibition, Persistence of Vision, by local artist Colleen Woolpert, presents work in photography, video, and interactive objects and installations that originated with the artist's experience working with visually impaired adults in Seattle in 2013. Questions about visualization and navigating through darkness spurned ideas related to the "the great unknown" and space exploration. When an artist residency brought Woolpert to Syracuse in January 2014, the thread continued as an investigation of early motion picture innovations of the late 1800s in Syracuse, and ultimately the invention of her own optical device. The flicker of one image displacing the next is the persistent blink of light upon darkness.

Gary Metz: Quaking Aspen Light Work Gallery
Price: Free Robert B. Menschel Photography Gallery
Schine Student Center, 306 University Ave.,
Syracuse
In the 1970s, the late photographer and educator Gary Metz generated a significant body of work that was very much in the spirit of the times. Metz's "Quaking Aspen: A Lyric Complaint" challenged the first 100 years of landscape photography, which had placed a major emphasis on depicting nature as sublime, heroic and unspoiled. Unlike previous photographers who glorified nature, Metz and his contemporaries wrenched photography out of the national parks and replaced the scenic with the vernacular of the everyday American landscape. A number of Metz's colleagues received wide recognition for their similar investigations culminating in the seminal 1975 exhibition "The New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape" at the Museum of Photography at the George Eastman House. Metz never received the same level of acknowledgement. Now, 40 years later, his "Quaking Aspen: A Lyric Complaint" is as powerful and relevant as ever, resonating with current interests in ecology and the everyday landscape. Metz spent the month of August 1985 as an artist-in-residence at Light Work. Metz was the was a professor at the University of Colorado, Boulder; director of Education at the International Center of Photography; and head of the photography department at the Rhode Island School of Design. He received NEA fellowships in photography in 1972 and 1980, and is represented in various collections including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, George Eastman House in Rochester, the National Gallery of Canada, and the Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester.

None of That/Nada de eso, works by Juan Cruz La Casita Cultural Center
La Casita Cultural Center
109 Otisco St.,
Syracuse
In his exhibition None of That (in Spanish, Nada de eso), Juan Cruz reflects on his discontent, on what he describes as a futile attempt to communicate something, constantly seeking and not finding a more far-reaching meaning in his work. The creative process has led the artist to reexamine his body of work from decades of painting and cut it to pieces. Cruz has been slicing many of his signature pieces, large canvases full of color in motion, and recomposing them into new works that combine bits from past works. The notion of the artist destroying his own work may seem a like a sort of violent act, but for Juan it is more of a calculated, profoundly meditated process. Cruz seems to be expressing what comes from a deeply felt stir that is shared by so many of us in our own lives at certain times, when we try to make sense, searching for the meaning of it all, and finding none of that. Juan Alberto Cruz was born in Cataño, Puerto Rico in 1941. His work has been recognized and presented in museums and galleries locally and statewide, as well as in his native Puerto Rico.

Gallery Exhibition: Persistence of Vision: Works by Colleen Woolpert Onondaga Community College
Ann Felton Multicultural Center and Gallery
Onondaga Community College,
Syracuse
The exhibition, Persistence of Vision, by local artist Colleen Woolpert, presents work in photography, video, and interactive objects and installations that originated with the artist's experience working with visually impaired adults in Seattle in 2013. Questions about visualization and navigating through darkness spurned ideas related to the "the great unknown" and space exploration. When an artist residency brought Woolpert to Syracuse in January 2014, the thread continued as an investigation of early motion picture innovations of the late 1800s in Syracuse, and ultimately the invention of her own optical device. The flicker of one image displacing the next is the persistent blink of light upon darkness.

Gary Metz: Quaking Aspen Light Work Gallery
Price: Free Robert B. Menschel Photography Gallery
Schine Student Center, 306 University Ave.,
Syracuse
In the 1970s, the late photographer and educator Gary Metz generated a significant body of work that was very much in the spirit of the times. Metz's "Quaking Aspen: A Lyric Complaint" challenged the first 100 years of landscape photography, which had placed a major emphasis on depicting nature as sublime, heroic and unspoiled. Unlike previous photographers who glorified nature, Metz and his contemporaries wrenched photography out of the national parks and replaced the scenic with the vernacular of the everyday American landscape. A number of Metz's colleagues received wide recognition for their similar investigations culminating in the seminal 1975 exhibition "The New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape" at the Museum of Photography at the George Eastman House. Metz never received the same level of acknowledgement. Now, 40 years later, his "Quaking Aspen: A Lyric Complaint" is as powerful and relevant as ever, resonating with current interests in ecology and the everyday landscape. Metz spent the month of August 1985 as an artist-in-residence at Light Work. Metz was the was a professor at the University of Colorado, Boulder; director of Education at the International Center of Photography; and head of the photography department at the Rhode Island School of Design. He received NEA fellowships in photography in 1972 and 1980, and is represented in various collections including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, George Eastman House in Rochester, the National Gallery of Canada, and the Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester.

None of That/Nada de eso, works by Juan Cruz La Casita Cultural Center
La Casita Cultural Center
109 Otisco St.,
Syracuse
In his exhibition None of That (in Spanish, Nada de eso), Juan Cruz reflects on his discontent, on what he describes as a futile attempt to communicate something, constantly seeking and not finding a more far-reaching meaning in his work. The creative process has led the artist to reexamine his body of work from decades of painting and cut it to pieces. Cruz has been slicing many of his signature pieces, large canvases full of color in motion, and recomposing them into new works that combine bits from past works. The notion of the artist destroying his own work may seem a like a sort of violent act, but for Juan it is more of a calculated, profoundly meditated process. Cruz seems to be expressing what comes from a deeply felt stir that is shared by so many of us in our own lives at certain times, when we try to make sense, searching for the meaning of it all, and finding none of that. Juan Alberto Cruz was born in Cataño, Puerto Rico in 1941. His work has been recognized and presented in museums and galleries locally and statewide, as well as in his native Puerto Rico.

Side by Side: Paintings by Claire Stankus LeMoyne College
Wilson Art Gallery, Noreen Reale Falcone Library
LeMoyne College,
Syracuse
Side by Side features paintings created in pairs. Spanning the last two years, these portraits, still life, and landscapes showcase the interaction between similar and repeated imagery. These paintings work together to identify relationships, and document subtle changes in time and mood. The figurative works explore parallel mannerisms in posed and candid portraits, while the landscapes and still life result from repeated observations of everyday perspectives. Routinely observing the same scenes everyday can illuminate how constant, mundane habits or surroundings develop new significance over time. Noticing these patterns in our lives reminds us how small and daily occurrences can become more memorable than a singular event, and encourages us to examine our environment a bit more closely. Claire Stankus studied painting and ceramics at Syracuse University. In her junior year she traveled to Florence, Italy for a semester abroad to study painting and art history. She graduated with a BFA in Painting in 2012. She was awarded a scholarship to attend the School of Art at the Chautauqua Institution in 2012, and in 2013 spent a month painting at the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, VT. She plans to enter an MFA program in the fall.

Apartheid and Identity: Race. Place. Being. SUNY Oswego Metro Center at the Atrium
SUNY Oswego Metro Center at the Atrium
2 Clinton Square,
Syracuse
The multimedia exhibition, under the direction of Oswego art department chair Cynthia Clabough, will explore the convergences between South Africans' struggles against apartheid and the American Civil Rights Movement. The exhibition, part of a collaboration titled "Race. Place. Being.," will pick up on themes raised by the play "Sizwe Banzi Is Dead" at Syracuse Stage and a display of Rochester native Matt Herron's civil rights-era photos at ArtRage Gallery. The work of Herron, whose photographs from the Selma-to-Montgomery voting rights march and other pivotal civil rights events have appeared in publications around the world, will appear at "Race. Place. Being." venues on large banners on loan from the Birmingham Civil Right Institute. Other artists represented in the SUNY Oswego Metro Center exhibition will include Ellen M. Blalock, Mike Greenlar, Dale Pierce, Mary Stanley, and Vanessa Johnson. Though oceans separated apartheid and the Civil Rights Movement, both struggles hinged on how those seeking freedom succeeded in visually defining who they were. Each movement echoed the other's successes and setbacks. "Apartheid and Identity" focuses on such events as Nelson Mandela's long imprisonment, begun in 1964, and the Soweto uprising; the 1965 Selma march and earlier violent attempts in the South to quell desegregation, and voting rights for African Americans.

It's in Our Very Name: The Italian Heritage of Syracuse Onondaga Historical Association
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
As a crossroads for many immigrants from around the world, Syracuse became the home for Italians who were looking to build a better life. In turn, these immigrants changed Syracuse both physically, by helping with different architectural and infrastructure projects, and culturally, by importing new foods and customs to our community and by participation at all levels in the Syracuse economy. The exhibit will focus on the history and influence of Italian culture in Syracuse beginning with the name given to this village in 1825, which was adopted when John Wilkinson was inspired by a poem about Siracusa, Sicily. By the 1880s, an increasing number of Italian immigrants began to arrive to take advantage of the thriving Syracuse economy and other opportunities that were available. Some artifacts that will be highlighted include a wine press, a set of wooden bocce balls, and purses made at the Resnick purse factory.

The exhibition features 35 masterworks, drawn from the permanent collection of the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute in Utica.

Burchfield (1893-1967), Arthur B. Davies (1862-1928), Arthur G. Dove (1880-1946), Arshile Gorky (1904-48), Edward Hopper (1882-1967), George B.

In addition to the iconic beauty of the works in the exhibition, visitors will have an opportunity to observe how leading modern American artists depicted similar representational and abstract subject matter. Docent-led tours are available at 2:00 pm daily at no additional cost. Check in at the Visitor Services Desk.

This group of artists did not conform to a single style or medium; instead, they united around ideas of producing art reflective of women's lives, transforming stereotypes, and drawing attention to women's historic contributions to art and society. Drawing from the Everson's collection, this exhibit brings together works by some of the most important artists of the Feminist Art Movement.

Manifestation & Ambiguity Gallery 4040
Price: Free Gallery 4040
4040 New Court Ave (off Midler),
Syracuse
"Manifestation & Ambiguity" features works by artists that examine and call into question the formation and perception of identity, of how we view ourselves and others. Marna Bell's black & white cinematic series, "Imperfect Memories", exists as reclaimed visions of past experiences from her childhood amnesia. Lacey McKinney's indistinct, "I Am You/Dissolution Paintings", suggest in part that time acts in opposition to the idea of a fixed or absolute self, while Juan Perdiguero's, "Loop" series utilizes large scale drawings of chimpanzees to represent humanistic concepts. This exhibition encourages the viewer to engage the work beyond a formal pictorial response.

None of That/Nada de eso, works by Juan Cruz La Casita Cultural Center
La Casita Cultural Center
109 Otisco St.,
Syracuse
In his exhibition None of That (in Spanish, Nada de eso), Juan Cruz reflects on his discontent, on what he describes as a futile attempt to communicate something, constantly seeking and not finding a more far-reaching meaning in his work. The creative process has led the artist to reexamine his body of work from decades of painting and cut it to pieces. Cruz has been slicing many of his signature pieces, large canvases full of color in motion, and recomposing them into new works that combine bits from past works. The notion of the artist destroying his own work may seem a like a sort of violent act, but for Juan it is more of a calculated, profoundly meditated process. Cruz seems to be expressing what comes from a deeply felt stir that is shared by so many of us in our own lives at certain times, when we try to make sense, searching for the meaning of it all, and finding none of that. Juan Alberto Cruz was born in Cataño, Puerto Rico in 1941. His work has been recognized and presented in museums and galleries locally and statewide, as well as in his native Puerto Rico.

Selma to Montgomery March at 50: Civil Rights Photographs by Matt Herron ArtRage Gallery
Price: Free ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave.,
Syracuse
The 1965 Selma marches were pivotal events in the Civil Rights Movement, bringing international attention to the brutality of racist segregation and amplifying Alabama's denial of voting rights to African Americans.

Based in Mississippi in the early 60s, he covered the Civil Rights struggle for Life, Look, Time, Newsweek, and the Saturday Evening Post, as well as providing pictures for the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC).

Artist Talk: Matt Herron ArtRage Gallery
Price: Free ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave.,
Syracuse
"As a photographer, I walked backwards for five days, watching events unfold through my camera lenses. This was a march for ordinary people, not the leaders. Northern activists and intellectuals mixed easily with people from rural Alabama. In this spirit, I photographed two women throughout the march: Iris Jones, a housewife from suburban Philadelphia, and Doris Wilson, a teenage mother from Selma. At night we slept on the ground in tents that magically appeared and ate food prepared by armies of volunteers working anonymously to support the march." -Matt Herron Herron's photographs have appeared in virtually every major picture magazine in the world. Based in Mississippi in the early 60's, he covered the Civil Rights struggle for Life, Look, Time, Newsweek, and the Saturday Evening Post, as well as providing pictures for the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). His photographs are in the permanent collections of the George Eastman House, the Smithsonian Institution, the High Museum of Art, and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture.
