A Century of Collecting: 100 Years of Ceramics at the Everson Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
The first exhibition in the Everson's new ceramics gallery, "A Century of Collecting" celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Museum's first purchase of ceramics for the permanent collection in 1916. From that initial purchase of 32 works by distinguished Arts & Crafts potter Adelaide Alsop Robineau, the Everson has amassed a premier collection of more than 5000 ceramic pieces, dating from ancient times to the present day. This exhibition presents a survey of works made by key figures in modern and contemporary studio ceramics, tracing the Everson's role as a driving force in shaping attitudes about ceramics as a fine art medium.

Disappearing World: New Work by Phil Parsons and Ted Neal Gandee Gallery
Gandee Gallery
7846 Main St.,
Fabius
The exhibition features work by Syracuse-area painter Phil Parsons and ceramics by Ted Neal of Muncie, IN. Parsons's work explores the decay in landscapes as a metaphor of the shifting of values in contemporary rural culture. Neal creates functional ceramic forms which imitate industrial objects in order to comment on consumer culture and its impact on the environment. "Disappearing World" encourages the viewer to meditate on the places we pass by and the objects we use and discard and what these say about the society for which we all are responsible.

All That Jazz: 35 Years of Syracuse Jazz Fest Onondaga Historical Association
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
Recognizing 35 successful years of Syracuse Jazz Fest, OHA offers a visual exhibit on the history of Jazz Fest. OHA's visual exhibit will feature highlights of the musical festival, from the different venues, to music industry superstars and jazz legends, as well as some of our own homegrown musical talent. With help from Jazz Fest founder and executive director, Frank Malfitano, the exhibit will be a walk down memory lane for some die-hard local music fans: Dizzy Gillespie's bulging cheeks while playing trumpet, Jean Luc Ponty's electrifying violin, B.B. King's guitar Lucille, Buckwheat Zydeco's accordion, Wynton Marsalis' big band style orchestra, or Kenny G's saxophone; or maybe singing to the songs of Aretha Franklin, the Doobie Brothers, Boz Scaggs, Natalie Cole, or Smokey Robinson. Whatever musical tastes exist in Central New York, Syracuse Jazz Fest has touched almost all of them.

At All Costs: Photographs of American Workers by Earl Dotter ArtRage Gallery
Price: Free ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave.,
Syracuse
Earl Dotter has been photographing American workers on the job for over 40 years. Beginning in the Appalachian coalfields in the early 1970s and continuing to the present, he has put a human face on those who labor, often in dangerous and unhealthy conditions. In 2007, Dotter's Coal Mining Series was added to the permanent collection of the National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institute, in Washington, DC. The Occupational Health Clinical Center of Syracuse is the primary collaborator on this exhibition, and much of the work in the exhibition comes from their private collection.

Deborah Stratman: Xenoi Urban Video Project
Everson Museum of Art Plaza
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
In Deborah Stratman's short video Xenoi (2016), the Greek island of Syros is visited by a series of unexpected guests: immutable forms, outside of time, aloof observers of the human condition. These hovering guests are the Platonic Solids, named for the famed ancient Greek philosopher, Plato, who described them in the dialogue Timaeus as part of a higher level of reality. Shot on location and featuring a hypnotic score, Xenoi scans the horizon of modern day Greece, a landscape at once timeless and jarringly contemporary. "Xenoi" is the plural of "xenos," an enigmatic word usually translated as "stranger" — but whether the stranger is friend or foe depends on context and interpretation. What do these geometric specters portend in a contemporary climate of consumerism and economic crisis?

Cinemagogue: Einstein in the Holy Land Temple Society of Concord
Price: Free (donations welcomed) Temple Society of Concord
910 Madison St.,
Syracuse
In February 1923 when Albert Einstein arrived in Palestine, there were 85,000 Jews living there—and judging from newspaper headlines of the time, it seemed that each and every one of them came to greet and cheer the most famous Jew of his generation. For the next 12 days, Einstein would note his impressions of the emerging Jewish State in a personal travel log he was writing, a journal not meant to be published. Using this never-before-seen travel log, the film traces the visit to the Holy Land and paints a portrait of the Jewish genius.

Peter and the Starcatcher Baldwinsville Theatre Guild Colin Keating, director
First Presbyterian Church of Baldwinsville
64 Oswego St.,
Baldwinsville
Tony Award-winning Peter and the Starcatcher upends the century-old story of how a miserable orphan comes to be The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up (a.k.a. Peter Pan). A wildly theatrical adaptation of Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson's best-selling novels, the play was conceived for the stage by directors Roger Rees and Alex Timbers and written by Rick Elice, with music by Wayne Barker. From marauding pirates and jungle tyrants to unwilling comrades and unlikely heroes, Peter and the Starcatcher playfully explores the depths of greed and despair... and the bonds of friendship, duty, and love. A young orphan and his mates are shipped off from Victorian England to a distant island ruled by the evil King Zarboff. They know nothing of the mysterious trunk in the captain's cabin which contains a precious, otherworldly cargo. At sea, the boys are discovered by a precocious young girl named Molly, a Starcatcher-in-training who realizes that the trunk's precious cargo is starstuff, a celestial substance so powerful that it must never fall into the wrong hands. When the ship is taken over by pirates—led by the fearsome Black Stache, a villain determined to claim the trunk and its treasure for his own—the journey quickly becomes a thrilling adventure. Featuring a dozen actors portraying more than 100 unforgettable characters, Peter and the Starcatcher uses ingenious stagecraft and the limitless possibilities of imagination to bring the story to life.

Eric Gottesman: If I Could See Your Face, I Would Not Need Food (Ka Fitfitu Feetu) Light Work Gallery
Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
In 1999, artist Eric Gottesman began making portraits in Ethiopia of people with HIV. Because great stigma surrounds this disease, subjects did not allow him to photograph their faces. Over the next five years, Gottesman made these portraits of people with HIV anonymous by hiding and obscuring their faces and changing each sitter's name to protect their identity. A transcribed text from each sitter describing life with HIV in Ethiopia accompanies each image. In 2004, a woman with HIV allowed him to photograph her face for the first time and he knew the project was completed.

George Awde: Scale Without Measure Light Work Gallery
Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
George Awde's photographic work explores themes of contemporary masculinity, the male body, homosociality, and notions of physical and psychological strength, as seen through young men with whom he identifies. The men and boys whom Awde has photographed over the last 10 years include migrants to Beirut from Syria. Many are now his close friends. Through years of contact, Awde has established close relationships allowing for an intimate portrayal of the everyday. His pictures explore the way that people interact with one another, and in them one senses a longing to belong. Awde's parents fled Lebanon in the conflicts leading to the 1970s Civil War in order to pursue their futures by coming to America. This informed Awde's perspective on the world and his place in it while growing up, and now informs his practice as an artist and teacher. As the global refugee crisis escalates, and the early executive orders of a new and contentious president attempt to aggressively block refugees from entering the United States, the themes of Awde's work are evermore present.

Disappearing World: New Work by Phil Parsons and Ted Neal Gandee Gallery
Gandee Gallery
7846 Main St.,
Fabius
The exhibition features work by Syracuse-area painter Phil Parsons and ceramics by Ted Neal of Muncie, IN. Parsons's work explores the decay in landscapes as a metaphor of the shifting of values in contemporary rural culture. Neal creates functional ceramic forms which imitate industrial objects in order to comment on consumer culture and its impact on the environment. "Disappearing World" encourages the viewer to meditate on the places we pass by and the objects we use and discard and what these say about the society for which we all are responsible.

Daniel O'Donnell: Stand Beside Me Landmark Theatre
Landmark Theatre
362 S. Salina St.,
Syracuse
Daniel burst into superstardom in the USA back in 2002 with his first ever PBS special—The Daniel O'Donnell Show. That began a special relationship between Daniel and PBS and since then, he has recorded a further 12 specials, with "Stand Beside Me" being his 13th one in 2013. "Stand Beside Me" is a concert celebration of Irish, country, gospel, rock, movie, and long-time Daniel O'Donnell favorites. The title "Stand Beside Me" is not only a popular song among concert goers, but also reflects Daniel's belief that fans throughout his more than 10 years on PBS have brought him to where he is today, standing beside him making his career a success, and he will be forever grateful to them.

820 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
Sidney Bruhl is a successful playwright lately plagued by a series of flops. When a sure-fired hit drops into his hands courtesy of a young student, Bruhl concocts a devilish plan that twists and turns its roller coaster course right through to the final moments. As spellbinding and entertaining as ever, Ira Levin's hit play is an ingeniously plotted theatrical thriller that excites screams and laughter.

George Awde: Scale Without Measure Light Work Gallery
Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
George Awde's photographic work explores themes of contemporary masculinity, the male body, homosociality, and notions of physical and psychological strength, as seen through young men with whom he identifies. The men and boys whom Awde has photographed over the last 10 years include migrants to Beirut from Syria. Many are now his close friends. Through years of contact, Awde has established close relationships allowing for an intimate portrayal of the everyday. His pictures explore the way that people interact with one another, and in them one senses a longing to belong. Awde's parents fled Lebanon in the conflicts leading to the 1970s Civil War in order to pursue their futures by coming to America. This informed Awde's perspective on the world and his place in it while growing up, and now informs his practice as an artist and teacher. As the global refugee crisis escalates, and the early executive orders of a new and contentious president attempt to aggressively block refugees from entering the United States, the themes of Awde's work are evermore present.

Eric Gottesman: If I Could See Your Face, I Would Not Need Food (Ka Fitfitu Feetu) Light Work Gallery
Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
In 1999, artist Eric Gottesman began making portraits in Ethiopia of people with HIV. Because great stigma surrounds this disease, subjects did not allow him to photograph their faces. Over the next five years, Gottesman made these portraits of people with HIV anonymous by hiding and obscuring their faces and changing each sitter's name to protect their identity. A transcribed text from each sitter describing life with HIV in Ethiopia accompanies each image. In 2004, a woman with HIV allowed him to photograph her face for the first time and he knew the project was completed.

King's guitar Lucille, Buckwheat Zydeco's accordion, Wynton Marsalis' big band style orchestra, or Kenny G's saxophone; or maybe singing to the songs of Aretha Franklin, the Doobie Brothers, Boz Scaggs, Natalie Cole, or Smokey Robinson. Whatever musical tastes exist in Central New York, Syracuse Jazz Fest has touched almost all of them.

The first exhibition in the Everson's new ceramics gallery, "A Century of Collecting" celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Museum's first purchase of ceramics for the permanent collection in 1916.

This exhibition presents a survey of works made by key figures in modern and contemporary studio ceramics, tracing the Everson's role as a driving force in shaping attitudes about ceramics as a fine art medium.

Deborah Stratman: Xenoi Urban Video Project
Everson Museum of Art Plaza
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
In Deborah Stratman's short video Xenoi (2016), the Greek island of Syros is visited by a series of unexpected guests: immutable forms, outside of time, aloof observers of the human condition. These hovering guests are the Platonic Solids, named for the famed ancient Greek philosopher, Plato, who described them in the dialogue Timaeus as part of a higher level of reality. Shot on location and featuring a hypnotic score, Xenoi scans the horizon of modern day Greece, a landscape at once timeless and jarringly contemporary. "Xenoi" is the plural of "xenos," an enigmatic word usually translated as "stranger" — but whether the stranger is friend or foe depends on context and interpretation. What do these geometric specters portend in a contemporary climate of consumerism and economic crisis?

"What If...?" FIlm Series: Welcome to Shelbyville Rosamond Gifford Foundation
Price: Free Erie Canal Museum
318 Erie Blvd. E.,
Syracuse
Welcome to Shelbyville is a glimpse of America at a crossroads. In this one small town in the heart of America's Bible Belt, a community grapples with rapidly changing demographics. Just a stone's throw away from Pulaski, Tennessee (the birthplace of the Ku Klux Klan), longtime African American and white residents are challenged with how best to integrate with a growing Latino population and the more recent arrival of hundreds of Muslim Somali refugees. The film captures the interaction between these residents as they navigate new waters against the backdrop of a tumultuous year. The economy is in crisis, factories are closing, and jobs are hard to find. The local Tyson chicken plant is hiring hundreds of new Somali refugees, and when a local reporter initiates a series of articles about the newcomers, a flurry of controversy and debate erupts within the town. The story is an intimate portrayal of a community's struggle to understand what it means to be American. There will be a special presentation of the new short film America Heard: Refuge of Hope at this screening. Syracuse, NY, is an unlikely home to over 10,000 former refugees. Two women at the forefront of this community reflect on what their presidential vote means to those whose only true home is the American town that took them in. NOTE: This event will occur in the Erie Canal Museum's second floor gallery. Please enter the main entrance and use the elevator or stairs on the left. Free parking is available in the lot on Erie Boulevard East under routes 81 and 690. Presented in partnership with The Erie Canal Museum and the New American Women's Empowerment Group.

All That Jazz: 35 Years of Syracuse Jazz Fest Onondaga Historical Association
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
Recognizing 35 successful years of Syracuse Jazz Fest, OHA offers a visual exhibit on the history of Jazz Fest. OHA's visual exhibit will feature highlights of the musical festival, from the different venues, to music industry superstars and jazz legends, as well as some of our own homegrown musical talent. With help from Jazz Fest founder and executive director, Frank Malfitano, the exhibit will be a walk down memory lane for some die-hard local music fans: Dizzy Gillespie's bulging cheeks while playing trumpet, Jean Luc Ponty's electrifying violin, B.B. King's guitar Lucille, Buckwheat Zydeco's accordion, Wynton Marsalis' big band style orchestra, or Kenny G's saxophone; or maybe singing to the songs of Aretha Franklin, the Doobie Brothers, Boz Scaggs, Natalie Cole, or Smokey Robinson. Whatever musical tastes exist in Central New York, Syracuse Jazz Fest has touched almost all of them.

Deborah Stratman: Xenoi Urban Video Project
Everson Museum of Art Plaza
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
In Deborah Stratman's short video Xenoi (2016), the Greek island of Syros is visited by a series of unexpected guests: immutable forms, outside of time, aloof observers of the human condition. These hovering guests are the Platonic Solids, named for the famed ancient Greek philosopher, Plato, who described them in the dialogue Timaeus as part of a higher level of reality. Shot on location and featuring a hypnotic score, Xenoi scans the horizon of modern day Greece, a landscape at once timeless and jarringly contemporary. "Xenoi" is the plural of "xenos," an enigmatic word usually translated as "stranger" — but whether the stranger is friend or foe depends on context and interpretation. What do these geometric specters portend in a contemporary climate of consumerism and economic crisis?
