Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Letha Wilson is a mixed media artist who was born in Honolulu, raised in Colorado, and currently lives in Brooklyn.

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.

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.

Additionally, there will be a half-dozen recent interior images taken this year by professional photographer Bruce Harvey.

Extra|ordinary Reflections: Works from the Robert Infarinato Collection Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
An exhibition that examines the reflective relationship between photographers, their subjects and the audience, featuring 35 photographic portraits from the collection of SU alumnus Robert M. Infarinato and curated by students in the College of Visual and Performing Arts Graduate Program in Museum Studies course Advanced Curatorship, under the guidance of Professor Edward A. Aiken. Whether the scene is staged or candid, public or private, whether the subject is famous or unknown, portraits can reveal a person's qualities, interests, and attitudes in the click of a camera lens. In portraiture, three potential players hold power: the viewer, the subject, and artist. Power relationships are held between two or all of these players. Extra|ordinary Reflections blurs the lines between all three key players so that the viewer can actively seek out the extraordinary in the seemingly ordinary. Patrons and potential visitors are encouraged to follow Extra|ordinary Reflections on Instragram via @Extraordinaryreflections and post images using the hashtag #extraordinaryreflections for a chance to be featured.

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.

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.

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.

Darkness/Detritus/Illuminations: Works by Eduardo Lalo Point of Contact Gallery
Price: Free Point of Contact Gallery
350 W. Fayette St.,
Syracuse
"Darkness/Detritus/Illuminations" includes ink drawings, black and white photographs, and videos that explore the kinesthetic sensation of movement and of personal absence that takes place as an artist when creating works of art. Through a series of three poems and almost 100 works of art, Eduardo Lalo examines the idea of eliminating the mind from the creation process and focusing on perpetual, almost obsessive, movements of the body as it forms gestures and marks. Lalo describes this action as a fundamental expression of what it is to be human and states that "to draw is to revisit ceaselessly this discontent and this finding." Born in Cuba in 1960 and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Eduardo Lalo is an internationally renowned novelist and poet, visual artist and educator. Lalo completed his studies at Columbia University (New York) and Université de la Sorbonne Nouvelle (Paris), and is currently a Professor in the Humanities at the University of Puerto Rico. His books combine hybrids of essay and fiction, which he integrates with visual arts (drawing and photography), essays and fiction in his published work. Lalo became an internationally acclaimed literary figure in 2013 upon receiving the most prestigious award in the Hispanic-American literary world, the Rómulo Gallegos Award, for his novel Simone. A habitual columnist and literary critic in the San Juan-based 80 Grados, he is also a video artist of films including donde (2005) and La ciudad perdida (2006). Featured in dozens of exhibitions nationally and abroad, his photography and video work presents an esoteric look at urban spaces through black & white images, sounds & narrative that capture the isolation of the post industrialization era.

Capillary Reaction: Hydrofracking and Irrevocable Loss--The Paintings of Ron Throop ArtRage Gallery
Price: Free ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave.,
Syracuse
Hailing from Oswego, Ron Throop is a prolific expressionist painter. This exhibition is selected from his ongoing Fracking Series. Throop began painting on the subject in 2009, concerned that the process of hydraulic fracturing of the Marcellus Shale for natural gas has the potential of poisoning the groundwater for hundreds of thousands of people for many generations. He says, "Art and artists must take up the moral torch. We have the ability to create an imagined memory before it's too late to turn back. The 21st century artist has a mission to make sense common once again."

Danielle Miraglia Listening Room Acoustic Music Series

116 Walton St.,

Danielle Miraglia comes armed with a strong steady thumb on an old Gibson, an infectious stomp-box rhythm and harmonica. Her tunes range from heart-felt to socially conscious and will move both your heart and hips. Alternate Root says "Danielle Miraglia's guitar work keeps Delta traditions alive. Her steady thumb and playing style trace a direct line to the blues of the field and chicken shacks. Vocally, Danielle's voice digs in, twisting within the delivery, seeming to break but more likely soaring before the fall. Tickets available online.

In this smart, sharply funny, and sensitive contemporary play, he folds art, politics, and family secrets into a tumultuous drama that pits a liberal middle-aged writer against her conservative parents. Who owns a family's history? There are no easy answers in this 2012 Pulitzer Prize-nominated play where certainty shifts like sand dunes in the wind.

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.

With Open Arms: The Story of Armenians in Syracuse Onondaga Historical Association
Price: Free Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
Syracuse's rich Armenian history is a little known story that can be discovered in this exhibit. Syracuse has a long historical legacy with the people of Armenia. There is a vibrant community here today of Armenian-Americans, some recent arrivals and others whose ancestors came to Central New York in the late 19th century. This year, 2015, holds special significance for that community because of the atrocities Armenian suffered in their homeland, inside the Ottoman Empire, 100 years ago during World War I. Those hardships led many Armenian families to relocate to Syracuse, where there already was a small but vigorous Armenian community. After World War I, Syracuse Armenians were also active participants with international efforts to establish an independent Armenian nation. That would not become reality, however, until 1992 with the breakup of the Soviet Union. The exhibit will feature many images and artifacts that explore the saga of the local Armenian community from the 1890s to the present: * The assistance that local Syracusans, such as SU Chancellor James Day played in helping Armenian refugees * Businesses and industries that Armenians created here * The importance of their religious and social identity * Involvement that Syracuse Armenians had with national leaders in trying to establish an independent Armenia in 1918-1920

It's in Our Very Name: The Italian Heritage of Syracuse Onondaga Historical Association
Onondaga Historical Association

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.

Extra|ordinary Reflections: Works from the Robert Infarinato Collection Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
An exhibition that examines the reflective relationship between photographers, their subjects and the audience, featuring 35 photographic portraits from the collection of SU alumnus Robert M. Infarinato and curated by students in the College of Visual and Performing Arts Graduate Program in Museum Studies course Advanced Curatorship, under the guidance of Professor Edward A. Aiken. Whether the scene is staged or candid, public or private, whether the subject is famous or unknown, portraits can reveal a person's qualities, interests, and attitudes in the click of a camera lens. In portraiture, three potential players hold power: the viewer, the subject, and artist. Power relationships are held between two or all of these players. Extra|ordinary Reflections blurs the lines between all three key players so that the viewer can actively seek out the extraordinary in the seemingly ordinary. Patrons and potential visitors are encouraged to follow Extra|ordinary Reflections on Instragram via @Extraordinaryreflections and post images using the hashtag #extraordinaryreflections for a chance to be featured.

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.

Syracuse
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.

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.

Darkness/Detritus/Illuminations: Works by Eduardo Lalo Point of Contact Gallery
Price: Free Point of Contact Gallery
350 W. Fayette St.,
Syracuse
"Darkness/Detritus/Illuminations" includes ink drawings, black and white photographs, and videos that explore the kinesthetic sensation of movement and of personal absence that takes place as an artist when creating works of art. Through a series of three poems and almost 100 works of art, Eduardo Lalo examines the idea of eliminating the mind from the creation process and focusing on perpetual, almost obsessive, movements of the body as it forms gestures and marks. Lalo describes this action as a fundamental expression of what it is to be human and states that "to draw is to revisit ceaselessly this discontent and this finding." Born in Cuba in 1960 and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Eduardo Lalo is an internationally renowned novelist and poet, visual artist and educator. Lalo completed his studies at Columbia University (New York) and Université de la Sorbonne Nouvelle (Paris), and is currently a Professor in the Humanities at the University of Puerto Rico. His books combine hybrids of essay and fiction, which he integrates with visual arts (drawing and photography), essays and fiction in his published work. Lalo became an internationally acclaimed literary figure in 2013 upon receiving the most prestigious award in the Hispanic-American literary world, the Rómulo Gallegos Award, for his novel Simone. A habitual columnist and literary critic in the San Juan-based 80 Grados, he is also a video artist of films including donde (2005) and La ciudad perdida (2006). Featured in dozens of exhibitions nationally and abroad, his photography and video work presents an esoteric look at urban spaces through black & white images, sounds & narrative that capture the isolation of the post industrialization era.

Capillary Reaction: Hydrofracking and Irrevocable Loss--The Paintings of Ron Throop ArtRage Gallery
Price: Free ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave.,
Syracuse
Hailing from Oswego, Ron Throop is a prolific expressionist painter. This exhibition is selected from his ongoing Fracking Series. Throop began painting on the subject in 2009, concerned that the process of hydraulic fracturing of the Marcellus Shale for natural gas has the potential of poisoning the groundwater for hundreds of thousands of people for many generations. He says, "Art and artists must take up the moral torch. We have the ability to create an imagined memory before it's too late to turn back. The 21st century artist has a mission to make sense common once again."

Cauleen Smith: Crow Requiem Urban Video Project
Everson Museum of Art Plaza
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Crows are well known for their mythological reputation as tricksters and harbingers of death, but less for the reality that they are creatures of remarkable intelligence who lead complex social lives. Cauleen Smith became fascinated by these misunderstood animals when she noticed the massive flock of crows roosting outside her bedroom window during her artist residency at Light Work. She learned that the native population of crows circulates between Syracuse and nearby Auburn; and that this migration is partly in response to harassment and, at times, state-sanctioned violence at the hands of a human population who view them as a nuisance. Smith interweaves the figure of the crow through the histories of these two cities, both of which were key stations on the Underground Railroad and innovators in early cinematic and 3D optical technologies. "Crow Requiem" connects this history to recent and ongoing violence against people of color at the hands of the state. Shot on location in Central New York, and featuring selections from Onondaga Historical Association's extensive archive of 19th-century stereoscopic images.

Cruel April Poetry Readings Point of Contact Gallery Featuring Jessica Ann Poli and Gloria Posada
Price: Free Point of Contact Gallery
350 W. Fayette St.,
Syracuse
Gloria Posada is the author of the award-winning Divine Office (1992), You Women (1990), and Natures (2002). Posada has devoted herself to an enquiry into nature and the world, which manifests itself sometimes in words and sometimes in images or shapes. In her quest, poetry and plastic arts have had a parallel development, which occasionally involves installations, sound art or interventions of public space. In Posada's collections, there is reflection on the sacred and mortality, on history and the collective imagery about the feminine and its archetypes, and an exploration of the past and present of personal history. Jessica Ann Poli is a graduate student at Syracuse University, and MFA candidate in the Creative Writing program at the College of Arts and Sciences. She is the author of three chapbooks: Alexia, Glassland, and The Egg Mistress. At Syracuse University, she is Editor-in-Chief of Salt Hill Journal. She is also the Founder and Editor of Birdfeast, an online literary journal, and a Founding Editor of Midnight City Books, a small press based in Syracuse.

Revived on Broadway in 2005 and 2012, this masterpiece of American drama also became a celebrated film which starred Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Alec Baldwin and Alan Arkin.

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.

With Open Arms: The Story of Armenians in Syracuse Onondaga Historical Association
Price: Free Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
Syracuse's rich Armenian history is a little known story that can be discovered in this exhibit. Syracuse has a long historical legacy with the people of Armenia. There is a vibrant community here today of Armenian-Americans, some recent arrivals and others whose ancestors came to Central New York in the late 19th century. This year, 2015, holds special significance for that community because of the atrocities Armenian suffered in their homeland, inside the Ottoman Empire, 100 years ago during World War I. Those hardships led many Armenian families to relocate to Syracuse, where there already was a small but vigorous Armenian community. After World War I, Syracuse Armenians were also active participants with international efforts to establish an independent Armenian nation. That would not become reality, however, until 1992 with the breakup of the Soviet Union. The exhibit will feature many images and artifacts that explore the saga of the local Armenian community from the 1890s to the present: * The assistance that local Syracusans, such as SU Chancellor James Day played in helping Armenian refugees * Businesses and industries that Armenians created here * The importance of their religious and social identity * Involvement that Syracuse Armenians had with national leaders in trying to establish an independent Armenia in 1918-1920

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.

Extra|ordinary Reflections: Works from the Robert Infarinato Collection Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,

An exhibition that examines the reflective relationship between photographers, their subjects and the audience, featuring 35 photographic portraits from the collection of SU alumnus Robert M. Infarinato and curated by students in the College of Visual and Performing Arts Graduate Program in Museum Studies course Advanced Curatorship, under the guidance of Professor Edward A. Aiken. Whether the scene is staged or candid, public or private, whether the subject is famous or unknown, portraits can reveal a person's qualities, interests, and attitudes in the click of a camera lens. In portraiture, three potential players hold power: the viewer, the subject, and artist. Power relationships are held between two or all of these players. Extra|ordinary Reflections blurs the lines between all three key players so that the viewer can actively seek out the extraordinary in the seemingly ordinary. Patrons and potential visitors are encouraged to follow Extra|ordinary Reflections on Instragram via @Extraordinaryreflections and post images using the hashtag #extraordinaryreflections for a chance to be featured.

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.

Price: $5 members, $10 non-members, $8 students/military/educators/seniors, $30 family, children under 10 free Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
The exhibition features 35 masterworks, drawn from the permanent collection of the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute in Utica. Prendergast to Pollock includes important paintings by many of the leading progressive and avant-garde American artists who shaped the history of American art in the first half of the 20th century, including, Charles E. 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.

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.

Darkness/Detritus/Illuminations: Works by Eduardo Lalo Point of Contact Gallery
Price: Free Point of Contact Gallery
350 W. Fayette St.,
Syracuse
"Darkness/Detritus/Illuminations" includes ink drawings, black and white photographs, and videos that explore the kinesthetic sensation of movement and of personal absence that takes place as an artist when creating works of art. Through a series of three poems and almost 100 works of art, Eduardo Lalo examines the idea of eliminating the mind from the creation process and focusing on perpetual, almost obsessive, movements of the body as it forms gestures and marks. Lalo describes this action as a fundamental expression of what it is to be human and states that "to draw is to revisit ceaselessly this discontent and this finding." Born in Cuba in 1960 and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Eduardo Lalo is an internationally renowned novelist and poet, visual artist and educator. Lalo completed his studies at Columbia University (New York) and Université de la Sorbonne Nouvelle (Paris), and is currently a Professor in the Humanities at the University of Puerto Rico. His books combine hybrids of essay and fiction, which he integrates with visual arts (drawing and photography), essays and fiction in his published work. Lalo became an internationally acclaimed literary figure in 2013 upon receiving the most prestigious award in the Hispanic-American literary world, the Rómulo Gallegos Award, for his novel Simone. A habitual columnist and literary critic in the San Juan-based 80 Grados, he is also a video artist of films including donde (2005) and La ciudad perdida (2006). Featured in dozens of exhibitions nationally and abroad, his photography and video work presents an esoteric look at urban spaces through black & white images, sounds & narrative that capture the isolation of the post industrialization era.

Price: Free ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave.,
Syracuse
Hailing from Oswego, Ron Throop is a prolific expressionist painter. This exhibition is selected from his ongoing Fracking Series. Throop began painting on the subject in 2009, concerned that the process of hydraulic fracturing of the Marcellus Shale for natural gas has the potential of poisoning the groundwater for hundreds of thousands of people for many generations. He says, "Art and artists must take up the moral torch. We have the ability to create an imagined memory before it's too late to turn back. The 21st century artist has a mission to make sense common once again."

Cauleen Smith: Crow Requiem Urban Video Project
Everson Museum of Art Plaza
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Crows are well known for their mythological reputation as tricksters and harbingers of death, but less for the reality that they are creatures of remarkable intelligence who lead complex social lives. Cauleen Smith became fascinated by these misunderstood animals when she noticed the massive flock of crows roosting outside her bedroom window during her artist residency at Light Work. She learned that the native population of crows circulates between Syracuse and nearby Auburn; and that this migration is partly in response to harassment and, at times, state-sanctioned violence at the hands of a human population who view them as a nuisance. Smith interweaves the figure of the crow through the histories of these two cities, both of which were key stations on the Underground Railroad and innovators in early cinematic and 3D optical technologies. "Crow Requiem" connects this history to recent and ongoing violence against people of color at the hands of the state. Shot on location in Central New York, and featuring selections from Onondaga Historical Association's extensive archive of 19th-century stereoscopic images.

Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical, Best Score, and Best Book, Avenue Q is part flesh (people), part felt (puppets), and packed with heart. This long-running Broadway hit is a laugh-out-loud musical that tells the story of a recent college grad named Princeton who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q. There, he meets Kate (the girl next door), Rod (the Republican), Trekkie (the internet-surfing monster), Lucy the Slut (and proud of it), and other colorful types who help Princeton finally discover his purpose in life. A little bit naughty, a lot a bit nice, and with enough satire to satisfy the monster in all of us. Music and lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx, book by Jeff Whitty.

With Open Arms: The Story of Armenians in Syracuse Onondaga Historical Association
Price: Free Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
Syracuse's rich Armenian history is a little known story that can be discovered in this exhibit. Syracuse has a long historical legacy with the people of Armenia. There is a vibrant community here today of Armenian-Americans, some recent arrivals and others whose ancestors came to Central New York in the late 19th century. This year, 2015, holds special significance for that community because of the atrocities Armenian suffered in their homeland, inside the Ottoman Empire, 100 years ago during World War I. Those hardships led many Armenian families to relocate to Syracuse, where there already was a small but vigorous Armenian community. After World War I, Syracuse Armenians were also active participants with international efforts to establish an independent Armenian nation. That would not become reality, however, until 1992 with the breakup of the Soviet Union. The exhibit will feature many images and artifacts that explore the saga of the local Armenian community from the 1890s to the present: * The assistance that local Syracusans, such as SU Chancellor James Day played in helping Armenian refugees * Businesses and industries that Armenians created here * The importance of their religious and social identity * Involvement that Syracuse Armenians had with national leaders in trying to establish an independent Armenia in 1918-1920

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.

Extra|ordinary Reflections: Works from the Robert Infarinato Collection Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
An exhibition that examines the reflective relationship between photographers, their subjects and the audience, featuring 35 photographic portraits from the collection of SU alumnus Robert M. Infarinato and curated by students in the College of Visual and Performing Arts Graduate Program in Museum Studies course Advanced Curatorship, under the guidance of Professor Edward A. Aiken. Whether the scene is staged or candid, public or private, whether the subject is famous or unknown, portraits can reveal a person's qualities, interests, and attitudes in the click of a camera lens. In portraiture, three potential players hold power: the viewer, the subject, and artist. Power relationships are held between two or all of these players. Extra|ordinary Reflections blurs the lines between all three key players so that the viewer can actively seek out the extraordinary in the seemingly ordinary. Patrons and potential visitors are encouraged to follow Extra|ordinary Reflections on Instragram via @Extraordinaryreflections and post images using the hashtag #extraordinaryreflections for a chance to be featured.

The 21st century artist has a mission to make sense common once again."

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.

Darkness/Detritus/Illuminations: Works by Eduardo Lalo Point of Contact Gallery
Price: Free Point of Contact Gallery
350 W. Fayette St.,
Syracuse
"Darkness/Detritus/Illuminations" includes ink drawings, black and white photographs, and videos that explore the kinesthetic sensation of movement and of personal absence that takes place as an artist when creating works of art. Through a series of three poems and almost 100 works of art, Eduardo Lalo examines the idea of eliminating the mind from the creation process and focusing on perpetual, almost obsessive, movements of the body as it forms gestures and marks. Lalo describes this action as a fundamental expression of what it is to be human and states that "to draw is to revisit ceaselessly this discontent and this finding." Born in Cuba in 1960 and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Eduardo Lalo is an internationally renowned novelist and poet, visual artist and educator. Lalo completed his studies at Columbia University (New York) and Université de la Sorbonne Nouvelle (Paris), and is currently a Professor in the Humanities at the University of Puerto Rico. His books combine hybrids of essay and fiction, which he integrates with visual arts (drawing and photography), essays and fiction in his published work. Lalo became an internationally acclaimed literary figure in 2013 upon receiving the most prestigious award in the Hispanic-American literary world, the Rómulo Gallegos Award, for his novel Simone. A habitual columnist and literary critic in the San Juan-based 80 Grados, he is also a video artist of films including donde (2005) and La ciudad perdida (2006). Featured in dozens of exhibitions nationally and abroad, his photography and video work presents an esoteric look at urban spaces through black & white images, sounds & narrative that capture the isolation of the post industrialization era.

Cauleen Smith: Crow Requiem Urban Video Project
Everson Museum of Art Plaza
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Crows are well known for their mythological reputation as tricksters and harbingers of death, but less for the reality that they are creatures of remarkable intelligence who lead complex social lives. Cauleen Smith became fascinated by these misunderstood animals when she noticed the massive flock of crows roosting outside her bedroom window during her artist residency at Light Work. She learned that the native population of crows circulates between Syracuse and nearby Auburn; and that this migration is partly in response to harassment and, at times, state-sanctioned violence at the hands of a human population who view them as a nuisance. Smith interweaves the figure of the crow through the histories of these two cities, both of which were key stations on the Underground Railroad and innovators in early cinematic and 3D optical technologies. "Crow Requiem" connects this history to recent and ongoing violence against people of color at the hands of the state. Shot on location in Central New York, and featuring selections from Onondaga Historical Association's extensive archive of 19th-century stereoscopic images.

Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical, Best Score, and Best Book, Avenue Q is part flesh (people), part felt (puppets), and packed with heart. This long-running Broadway hit is a laugh-out-loud musical that tells the story of a recent college grad named Princeton who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q. There, he meets Kate (the girl next door), Rod (the Republican), Trekkie (the internet-surfing monster), Lucy the Slut (and proud of it), and other colorful types who help Princeton finally discover his purpose in life. A little bit naughty, a lot a bit nice, and with enough satire to satisfy the monster in all of us. Music and lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx, book by Jeff Whitty.

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.

With Open Arms: The Story of Armenians in Syracuse Onondaga Historical Association
Price: Free Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
Syracuse's rich Armenian history is a little known story that can be discovered in this exhibit. Syracuse has a long historical legacy with the people of Armenia. There is a vibrant community here today of Armenian-Americans, some recent arrivals and others whose ancestors came to Central New York in the late 19th century. This year, 2015, holds special significance for that community because of the atrocities Armenian suffered in their homeland, inside the Ottoman Empire, 100 years ago during World War I. Those hardships led many Armenian families to relocate to Syracuse, where there already was a small but vigorous Armenian community. After World War I, Syracuse Armenians were also active participants with international efforts to establish an independent Armenian nation. That would not become reality, however, until 1992 with the breakup of the Soviet Union. The exhibit will feature many images and artifacts that explore the saga of the local Armenian community from the 1890s to the present: * The assistance that local Syracusans, such as SU Chancellor James Day played in helping Armenian refugees * Businesses and industries that Armenians created here * The importance of their religious and social identity * Involvement that Syracuse Armenians had with national leaders in trying to establish an independent Armenia in 1918-1920

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.

Extra|ordinary Reflections: Works from the Robert Infarinato Collection Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
An exhibition that examines the reflective relationship between photographers, their subjects and the audience, featuring 35 photographic portraits from the collection of SU alumnus Robert M. Infarinato and curated by students in the College of Visual and Performing Arts Graduate Program in Museum Studies course Advanced Curatorship, under the guidance of Professor Edward A. Aiken. Whether the scene is staged or candid, public or private, whether the subject is famous or unknown, portraits can reveal a person's qualities, interests, and attitudes in the click of a camera lens. In portraiture, three potential players hold power: the viewer, the subject, and artist. Power relationships are held between two or all of these players. Extra|ordinary Reflections blurs the lines between all three key players so that the viewer can actively seek out the extraordinary in the seemingly ordinary. Patrons and potential visitors are encouraged to follow Extra|ordinary Reflections on Instragram via @Extraordinaryreflections and post images using the hashtag #extraordinaryreflections for a chance to be featured.

401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
The exhibition features 35 masterworks, drawn from the permanent collection of the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute in Utica. Prendergast to Pollock includes important paintings by many of the leading progressive and avant-garde American artists who shaped the history of American art in the first half of the 20th century, including, Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967), Arthur B. Davies (1862-1928), Arthur G. Dove (1880-1946), Arshile Gorky (1904-48), Edward Hopper (1882-1967), George B.

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.

Cathedral Square Organ Crawl Onondaga Historical Association
Price: $10 in advance, $15 at the door Plymouth Church
232 E. Onondaga St.,
Syracuse
The Cathedral Square Neighborhood Association will host their annual Organ Crawl. The Crawl begins at Plymouth Congregational Church. Stops on the crawl include Plymouth Congregational Church, Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, St. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral, and Park Central Presbyterian Church. This historic tour offers a behind the scenes look at some of downtown's most notable organs while providing guests with a series of private concerts. "The organs have very different sound ideals and live in very different acoustical situations," Will Headlee says. "We will show that by allowing you to hear one short piece played on three of the four organs. The piece is "Choral" by Joseph Jongen, an early 20th-century Belgian. It runs the gamut from a very soft beginning to a blazing full organ." Will Headlee is an organist at Park Central Presbyterian and will perform during the crawl. Headlee has been the organist at Park Central for 25 years. Other organists include Glenn Kime (Director of Music for the May Memorial Unitarian Universalist Society in Syracuse) and James Potts (who is completing his 20th year at St. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral). Both are graduates of Syracuse University, with Potts studying under Will Headlee during his time as a student. The tour is a benefit for the Cathedral Square Neighborhood Association and proceeds support the hanging flower baskets downtown during the summer.

This scalding comedy took Broadway and London by storm. Here is Mamet at his very best, writing about small-time, cutthroat real estate salesmen trying to grind out a living by pushing plots of land on reluctant buyers in a never-ending scramble for their share of the American dream. Revived on Broadway in 2005 and 2012, this masterpiece of American drama also became a celebrated film which starred Al Pacino, Jack Lemmon, Alec Baldwin and Alan Arkin.

It's the 1950s and Rydell High School's senior class is rarin' to go. The totally cool "T-Birds" are stealing hub-caps and acting tough and their gum-snapping, "Pink Ladies" are looking good in bobby sox and pedal pushers. At the heart of the story is the romance between hot-rodding Danny Zuko and the sweet new girl in town, Sandy Dumbrowski. They had a secret romance in summer, but now back in school, peer-pressure and cliques make their love a bit more complicated.

Are there secrets that should always be kept? Jon Robin Baitz writes fearlessly about the complex dynamics of wounded families. In this smart, sharply funny, and sensitive contemporary play, he folds art, politics, and family secrets into a tumultuous drama that pits a liberal middle-aged writer against her conservative parents. Who owns a family's history? There are no easy answers in this 2012 Pulitzer Prize-nominated play where certainty shifts like sand dunes in the wind.

Avenue Q Syracuse University Drama Department Brian Cimmet, director
Storch Theater, Syracuse Stage
820 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical, Best Score, and Best Book, Avenue Q is part flesh (people), part felt (puppets), and packed with heart. This long-running Broadway hit is a laugh-out-loud musical that tells the story of a recent college grad named Princeton who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q. There, he meets Kate (the girl next door), Rod (the Republican), Trekkie (the internet-surfing monster), Lucy the Slut (and proud of it), and other colorful types who help Princeton finally discover his purpose in life. A little bit naughty, a lot a bit nice, and with enough satire to satisfy the monster in all of us. Music and lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx, book by Jeff Whitty.

"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.

Extra|ordinary Reflections: Works from the Robert Infarinato Collection Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
An exhibition that examines the reflective relationship between photographers, their subjects and the audience, featuring 35 photographic portraits from the collection of SU alumnus Robert M. Infarinato and curated by students in the College of Visual and Performing Arts Graduate Program in Museum Studies course Advanced Curatorship, under the guidance of Professor Edward A. Aiken. Whether the scene is staged or candid, public or private, whether the subject is famous or unknown, portraits can reveal a person's qualities, interests, and attitudes in the click of a camera lens. In portraiture, three potential players hold power: the viewer, the subject, and artist. Power relationships are held between two or all of these players. Extra|ordinary Reflections blurs the lines between all three key players so that the viewer can actively seek out the extraordinary in the seemingly ordinary. Patrons and potential visitors are encouraged to follow Extra|ordinary Reflections on Instragram via @Extraordinaryreflections and post images using the hashtag #extraordinaryreflections for a chance to be featured.

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. 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.

With Open Arms: The Story of Armenians in Syracuse Onondaga Historical Association
Price: Free Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
Syracuse's rich Armenian history is a little known story that can be discovered in this exhibit. Syracuse has a long historical legacy with the people of Armenia. There is a vibrant community here today of Armenian-Americans, some recent arrivals and others whose ancestors came to Central New York in the late 19th century. This year, 2015, holds special significance for that community because of the atrocities Armenian suffered in their homeland, inside the Ottoman Empire, 100 years ago during World War I. Those hardships led many Armenian families to relocate to Syracuse, where there already was a small but vigorous Armenian community. After World War I, Syracuse Armenians were also active participants with international efforts to establish an independent Armenian nation. That would not become reality, however, until 1992 with the breakup of the Soviet Union. The exhibit will feature many images and artifacts that explore the saga of the local Armenian community from the 1890s to the present: * The assistance that local Syracusans, such as SU Chancellor James Day played in helping Armenian refugees * Businesses and industries that Armenians created here * The importance of their religious and social identity * Involvement that Syracuse Armenians had with national leaders in trying to establish an independent Armenia in 1918-1920

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.

Extra|ordinary Reflections: Works from the Robert Infarinato Collection Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
An exhibition that examines the reflective relationship between photographers, their subjects and the audience, featuring 35 photographic portraits from the collection of SU alumnus Robert M. Infarinato and curated by students in the College of Visual and Performing Arts Graduate Program in Museum Studies course Advanced Curatorship, under the guidance of Professor Edward A. Aiken. Whether the scene is staged or candid, public or private, whether the subject is famous or unknown, portraits can reveal a person's qualities, interests, and attitudes in the click of a camera lens. In portraiture, three potential players hold power: the viewer, the subject, and artist. Power relationships are held between two or all of these players. Extra|ordinary Reflections blurs the lines between all three key players so that the viewer can actively seek out the extraordinary in the seemingly ordinary. Patrons and potential visitors are encouraged to follow Extra|ordinary Reflections on Instragram via @Extraordinaryreflections and post images using the hashtag #extraordinaryreflections for a chance to be featured.

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.

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

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.

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.

Capillary Reaction: Hydrofracking and Irrevocable Loss--The Paintings of Ron Throop ArtRage Gallery
Price: Free ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave.,
Syracuse
Hailing from Oswego, Ron Throop is a prolific expressionist painter. This exhibition is selected from his ongoing Fracking Series. Throop began painting on the subject in 2009, concerned that the process of hydraulic fracturing of the Marcellus Shale for natural gas has the potential of poisoning the groundwater for hundreds of thousands of people for many generations. He says, "Art and artists must take up the moral torch. We have the ability to create an imagined memory before it's too late to turn back. The 21st century artist has a mission to make sense common once again."

Avenue Q Syracuse University Drama Department Brian Cimmet, director
Storch Theater, Syracuse Stage
820 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical, Best Score, and Best Book, Avenue Q is part flesh (people), part felt (puppets), and packed with heart. This long-running Broadway hit is a laugh-out-loud musical that tells the story of a recent college grad named Princeton who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q. There, he meets Kate (the girl next door), Rod (the Republican), Trekkie (the internet-surfing monster), Lucy the Slut (and proud of it), and other colorful types who help Princeton finally discover his purpose in life. A little bit naughty, a lot a bit nice, and with enough satire to satisfy the monster in all of us. Music and lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx, book by Jeff Whitty.
