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.

Community Folk Art Center

Community Folk Art Center
805 E. Genesee St., Syracuse

Green Eyes the Viejo copped out to a 7-year sentence after being arrested for possession of 300 grams of heroin in September.

"Let's Play!" presents a selection of ceramic works from the Everson's renowned collection that embodies a playful spirit, whether through subject or form. Spanning more than 60 years, the works on view represent a vast diversity of ceramic materials, techniques, styles, and forms utilized by some of the most influential international practitioners of the medium. Reflecting the often colorful, humorous, and whimsical imaginations of the artists, these works remind us that play is a critical part of the creative process and that art can also make us smile.

Price: $5 suggested donation
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

This husband-and-wife artistic team explores the domestic side of life using their Houston home and its contents (including the kids and family dog) as both inspiration and material. Part performance and part installation, the artists record their process through videos and photographs that comment on family dynamics, life in the suburbs, and American consumerism. Their recent project, "Higher Ground," documents the family's efforts to build a spaceship in their backyard and then pilot it to the moon. Through video, sculpture, and photographs, visitors will follow their humorous yet poignant journey into outer space.

Bricks and Blocks
Everson Museum of Art

Price: $5 suggested donation
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

"Bricks and Blocks" combines two seemingly dissimilar mediums, LEGOs and quilts, to celebrate color, pattern and construction and to take play and ingenuity to new heights. The exhibition features original small-scale LEGO designs alongside works by some of the finest quilters in the region.

The LEGO Design Challenge: Build Your Syracuse called upon the community to reimagine Syracuse and its structures. Working in small scale, contributors of all ages gave a fresh look to Syracuse through the magic of LEGOs, considering new and improved buildings and modes of transportation they wish to see in their city. A panel of professional architects and local government officials carefully evaluated and selected submissions based on the creative application of LEGO bricks, imaginative design and concept, as well as difficulty of execution and vision.

Concurrently, Central New York quilters were invited to submit original, contemporary quilts whose vibrant fabric narratives treat the eye to the themes of color, play and geometry and whose work demonstrates original feats of fiber engineering.

Creativity comes in many forms. Together, the beauty and artistry of quilts and the innovation and imagination of the LEGO constructions entwine to create a vivid and playful presentation.

Handmade: The Art of Susan Roth
Everson Museum of Art

Price: $5 suggested donation
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

This major exhibition surveys more than 40 years of work produced by the Canastota-based artist, ranging from her early stain paintings influenced by the Color Field painters to recent works in powder-coated steel. Roth's abstract, shaped canvases are composed of layers of color which often take on three-dimensional, sculptural forms. These innovative works are made possible through the use of acrylic products that Roth has had a hand in developing over the years in collaboration with Golden Artist Colors, a Central New York-based company that specializes in acrylic colors and mediums. Roth's restless experimentation has resulted in a body of work that pushes painting to the limits and has repeatedly opened new areas for exploration. Featuring more than 30 works from private and public collections, "Handmade" connects works across various periods in order to highlight the material and conceptual concerns that have remained constant throughout Roth's long career but which also continues to evolve.

Playing With Perception: Photographs by Florence Henri
Everson Museum of Art

Price: $5 suggested donation
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

Drawn from the Everson's collection, this exhibition presents a selection of photographs by Florence Henri, an accomplished artist of the early 20th century who remains relatively unknown today. Henri studied painting with some of the major avant-garde artists of the 20th century, including Fernand Leger and Lazlo Moholy-Nagy, before turning to photography. Intrigued by notions of playing with perception in life as well as art, the androgynous Henri frequently utilized mirrors in her works to create reflections, distort images, and challenge reality. Her abstract compositions, portraits, and advertising images exploited the possibilities of photography and share affinities with the works of contemporaries like Herbert Bayer, Adolph Baron de Meyer, and Man Ray.

"The Mind's Eye", a group exhibition featuring works by Arlene Abend (flame-painted copper sculpture), Katya Bratslavsky (acrylic paintings), Mark Raush (acrylic paintings), and Walter Melnikow (acrylic/mixed media paintings), is centered on artists creating works through an internal and individual response to the external, including physical locations or objects, and proceeding beyond direct observation. These works aren't necessarily a translation, but how the artist's mind chooses to respond visually through their chosen materials.

Playing With Perception: Photographs by Florence Henri
Everson Museum of Art

Price: $5 suggested donation
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

Drawn from the Everson's collection, this exhibition presents a selection of photographs by Florence Henri, an accomplished artist of the early 20th century who remains relatively unknown today. Henri studied painting with some of the major avant-garde artists of the 20th century, including Fernand Leger and Lazlo Moholy-Nagy, before turning to photography. Intrigued by notions of playing with perception in life as well as art, the androgynous Henri frequently utilized mirrors in her works to create reflections, distort images, and challenge reality. Her abstract compositions, portraits, and advertising images exploited the possibilities of photography and share affinities with the works of contemporaries like Herbert Bayer, Adolph Baron de Meyer, and Man Ray.

Handmade: The Art of Susan Roth
Everson Museum of Art

Price: $5 suggested donation
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

This major exhibition surveys more than 40 years of work produced by the Canastota-based artist, ranging from her early stain paintings influenced by the Color Field painters to recent works in powder-coated steel. Roth's abstract, shaped canvases are composed of layers of color which often take on three-dimensional, sculptural forms. These innovative works are made possible through the use of acrylic products that Roth has had a hand in developing over the years in collaboration with Golden Artist Colors, a Central New York-based company that specializes in acrylic colors and mediums. Roth's restless experimentation has resulted in a body of work that pushes painting to the limits and has repeatedly opened new areas for exploration. Featuring more than 30 works from private and public collections, "Handmade" connects works across various periods in order to highlight the material and conceptual concerns that have remained constant throughout Roth's long career but which also continues to evolve.

Price: $5 suggested donation
Everson Museum of Art

"Bricks and Blocks" combines two seemingly dissimilar mediums, LEGOs and quilts, to celebrate color, pattern and construction and to take play and ingenuity to new heights. The exhibition features original small-scale LEGO designs alongside works by some of the finest quilters in the region.

The LEGO Design Challenge: Build Your Syracuse called upon the community to reimagine Syracuse and its structures. Working in small scale, contributors of all ages gave a fresh look to Syracuse through the magic of LEGOs, considering new and improved buildings and modes of transportation they wish to see in their city. A panel of professional architects and local government officials carefully evaluated and selected submissions based on the creative application of LEGO bricks, imaginative design and concept, as well as difficulty of execution and vision.

Concurrently, Central New York quilters were invited to submit original, contemporary quilts whose vibrant fabric narratives treat the eye to the themes of color, play and geometry and whose work demonstrates original feats of fiber engineering.

Creativity comes in many forms. Together, the beauty and artistry of quilts and the innovation and imagination of the LEGO constructions entwine to create a vivid and playful presentation.

Bricks and Blocks
Everson Museum of Art

Price: $5 suggested donation
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

"Bricks and Blocks" combines two seemingly dissimilar mediums, LEGOs and quilts, to celebrate color, pattern and construction and to take play and ingenuity to new heights. The exhibition features original small-scale LEGO designs alongside works by some of the finest quilters in the region.

The LEGO Design Challenge: Build Your Syracuse called upon the community to reimagine Syracuse and its structures. Working in small scale, contributors of all ages gave a fresh look to Syracuse through the magic of LEGOs, considering new and improved buildings and modes of transportation they wish to see in their city. A panel of professional architects and local government officials carefully evaluated and selected submissions based on the creative application of LEGO bricks, imaginative design and concept, as well as difficulty of execution and vision.

Concurrently, Central New York quilters were invited to submit original, contemporary quilts whose vibrant fabric narratives treat the eye to the themes of color, play and geometry and whose work demonstrates original feats of fiber engineering.

Creativity comes in many forms. Together, the beauty and artistry of quilts and the innovation and imagination of the LEGO constructions entwine to create a vivid and playful presentation.

Playing With Perception: Photographs by Florence Henri
Everson Museum of Art

Price: $5 suggested donation
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

Drawn from the Everson's collection, this exhibition presents a selection of photographs by Florence Henri, an accomplished artist of the early 20th century who remains relatively unknown today. Henri studied painting with some of the major avant-garde artists of the 20th century, including Fernand Leger and Lazlo Moholy-Nagy, before turning to photography. Intrigued by notions of playing with perception in life as well as art, the androgynous Henri frequently utilized mirrors in her works to create reflections, distort images, and challenge reality. Her abstract compositions, portraits, and advertising images exploited the possibilities of photography and share affinities with the works of contemporaries like Herbert Bayer, Adolph Baron de Meyer, and Man Ray.

Handmade: The Art of Susan Roth
Everson Museum of Art

Price: $5 suggested donation
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

This major exhibition surveys more than 40 years of work produced by the Canastota-based artist, ranging from her early stain paintings influenced by the Color Field painters to recent works in powder-coated steel. Roth's abstract, shaped canvases are composed of layers of color which often take on three-dimensional, sculptural forms. These innovative works are made possible through the use of acrylic products that Roth has had a hand in developing over the years in collaboration with Golden Artist Colors, a Central New York-based company that specializes in acrylic colors and mediums. Roth's restless experimentation has resulted in a body of work that pushes painting to the limits and has repeatedly opened new areas for exploration. Featuring more than 30 works from private and public collections, "Handmade" connects works across various periods in order to highlight the material and conceptual concerns that have remained constant throughout Roth's long career but which also continues to evolve.

Price: $39.95 dinner theater, $25 show only
CNY Playhouse
Shoppingtown Mall, Entrance No. 4 (adjacent to parking garage), Dewitt

Tonight's show will be preceded by dinner at 6:30 pm.

Winner of four 2000 TONY Awards, Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida is an epic tale of love, loyalty and betrayal chronicling the love triangle between Aida, a Nubian princess stolen from her country; Amneris, an Egyptian princess; and Radames, the soldier they both love.

An enslaved Nubian princess, Aida, finds her heart entangled with Radames, an Egyptian soldier who is betrothed to the Pharaoh's daughter, Amneris. As their forbidden love blossoms, Aida is forced to weigh her heart against the responsibility she faces as leader of her people. Aida and Radames's love for one another becomes a shining example of true devotion that ultimately transcends the vast cultural differences between their warring nations, heralding a time of unprecedented peace and prosperity.

Music by Elton John; lyrics by Tim Rice; book by Linda Woolverton, Robert Falls, and David Henry Hwang. Music Direction by Abel Searor.

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.
