For centuries, artists and craftsmen alike have found inspiration in their everyday surroundings, drawing upon their home life as a subject, theme, and creative force.

Including paintings, sculptures, prints, drawings, photographs, video, ceramics, design, and decorative arts objects, Home Sweet Home presents a multi-faceted view of the home, its spaces, furnishings, and inhabitants. From depictions of the genteel interiors of Gilded Age America to images of mass-produced products of the Post-War era, the exhibition presents works by more than 30 artists and designers, including major historical figures and up-and-coming contemporary artists. Key pieces by Andy Warhol, Miriam Shapiro, Milton Avery, Jeff Koons, and Claes Oldenburg will be shown alongside examples of functional handcrafted and production pottery and furniture, still life paintings, tromp l'oeil sculptures, documentary photographs, and interior genre scenes.

Angela Fraleigh, based in New York City and Allentown, co-opts the techniques, media, and styles of the European Old Masters to create monumental paintings of female figures that explore social constructs of gender, power, and identity. Combining abstraction and realism, her visually seductive and complicated paintings reflect on art history, literature, and popular culture. For the Everson, Fraleigh presents new paintings inspired by works in the Everson's collection, women of the Arts and Crafts movement and important female figures in the history of Central New York.

Tattooed Foods: Illustrations by Lisa Jane Smith Gallery 54
Gallery 54
54 E. Genesee St.,
Skaneateles
It would be difficult to be more straight-forward in describing Lisa Jane Smith's work than she is herself, calling it "sophisticated doodling." Lisa's art is often available at Rochester-area art festivals. She also licenses her art to manufacturers and had her kitchenware debut this past summer. Her work will also be available in a collection of fabric this fall. The artwork included in the Gallery 54 show will feature illustrations of common fruits and vegetables along with the tea towels and books regularly available in this popular upscale gallery of fine art and crafts. All her work is sure to find its way into Central New York homes.

Place: Selections from the Light Work Collection Light Work Gallery
Robert B. Menschel Photography Gallery
Schine Student Center, 306 University Ave.,
Syracuse
In sync with the Syracuse Symposium 2016-2017 theme of Place, this exhibition explores how "thinking about place, then, entails questions of cementing, contesting, and crossing boundaries, devising frameworks yet also disrupting them, setting and upsetting expectations." The photographs in this exhibition aim to comprehend the ever-evolving histories and relationships of a location, and the new understandings a photograph offers. Pulled from the Light Work Collection, the exhibition highlights work by Admas Habteslasie, Amy Stein, Andrea Robbin and Max Becher, Beatrix Reinhardt, Brian Ulrich, Deborah Willis, Irina Rozovsky, James Casebere, Linda Connor, Margaret Stratton, Peter Finnemore, Robert Benjamin, Susannah Sayler and Edward Morris, Sylvia de Swaan, Viktor Lugansky, and William Earle WIlliams.

It's A Wrap! West African Textiles Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
"It's A Wrap! West African Textiles" is an exhibition featuring over 40 examples of textiles and their accompanying tools. Drawn from geographically proximate locales in West Africa, including Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria and Cameroon, the textiles on display exemplify woven, stamped, appliqued, and resist-dyed techniques. Organized by Professor Michelle Gilbert, Department of Fine Arts, Trinity College, CT, and featuring objects on loan from the collections of Michelle Gilbert, and the Amyas Naegele and Eve Glasberg Collection, NY, this exhibition is sponsored in part by the Maxwell African Scholars Union, Moynihan Institute of Global Affairs, Syracuse University. In all cultures clothing does more than simply cover the body. It communicates subtle visual messages about the owner. What and how it is worn, can be interpreted as a statement of flamboyant ostentation or modest conservatism. It may signal the prominence of a wealthy and powerful king, the presence of a deity, or the existence of a mad man. The textile culture in West African is very old, weaving is documented at Igbo Ukwu, Nigeria in the 9th-10th century and by the 11th century weaving flourished in Mali. Used in a variety of ways, African textiles can be presented as gifts to the living and the dead; used in a bride's dowry; displayed at weddings and funerals; used as blankets for protection from the cold and mosquitoes; spread on the ground for a chief to walk over or placed in layers to cover his palanquin or funeral bed. Textiles are worn to flatter or flirt, to display power or express silent insults, or to show common group identity. The artists' aesthetic sensibility is revealed in the cloth's intricate patterns, textures and technical flair.

It's A Wrap! West African Textiles Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
"It's A Wrap! West African Textiles" is an exhibition featuring over 40 examples of textiles and their accompanying tools. Drawn from geographically proximate locales in West Africa, including Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria and Cameroon, the textiles on display exemplify woven, stamped, appliqued, and resist-dyed techniques. Organized by Professor Michelle Gilbert, Department of Fine Arts, Trinity College, CT, and featuring objects on loan from the collections of Michelle Gilbert, and the Amyas Naegele and Eve Glasberg Collection, NY, this exhibition is sponsored in part by the Maxwell African Scholars Union, Moynihan Institute of Global Affairs, Syracuse University. In all cultures clothing does more than simply cover the body. It communicates subtle visual messages about the owner. What and how it is worn, can be interpreted as a statement of flamboyant ostentation or modest conservatism. It may signal the prominence of a wealthy and powerful king, the presence of a deity, or the existence of a mad man. The textile culture in West African is very old, weaving is documented at Igbo Ukwu, Nigeria in the 9th-10th century and by the 11th century weaving flourished in Mali. Used in a variety of ways, African textiles can be presented as gifts to the living and the dead; used in a bride's dowry; displayed at weddings and funerals; used as blankets for protection from the cold and mosquitoes; spread on the ground for a chief to walk over or placed in layers to cover his palanquin or funeral bed. Textiles are worn to flatter or flirt, to display power or express silent insults, or to show common group identity. The artists' aesthetic sensibility is revealed in the cloth's intricate patterns, textures and technical flair.

Stanley Wolukau-Wanambwa: One Wall a Web Light Work Gallery
Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Stanley Wolukau-Wanambwa's "One Wall a Web" is an exhibition that gathers together work from two discrete photographic series that he made in the United States: "Our Present Invention" (2012–2014) and "All My Gone Life" (2014–2016). Both the series and the exhibition draw their titles from the poetry of Muriel Rukeyser. "One Wall a Web" not only explores the mutability of archival images, but the ongoing presence of history in the present day. According to Wolukau-Wanambwa, the exhibition attempts to address "the normalcy of fear, separateness and violence in a moment suffused by them, but also in a culture riven by the habitually limited prescriptions of images." The exhibition comprises two distinct strands of photographs: the first, a series of appropriated archival 4 × 5 inch negatives; the second, a series of original photographs. Stanley Wolukau-Wanambwa is a photographer, writer, and editor of The Great Leap Sideways. He has contributed essays to catalogues and monographs by Vanessa Winship, George Georgiou, and Paul Graham, written for Aperture magazine, and is a faculty member in the photography department at Purchase College, SUNY. Wolukau-Wanambwa participated in Light Work's Artist-in-Residence Program in May 2015.

It's A Wrap! West African Textiles Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
"It's A Wrap! West African Textiles" is an exhibition featuring over 40 examples of textiles and their accompanying tools. Drawn from geographically proximate locales in West Africa, including Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria and Cameroon, the textiles on display exemplify woven, stamped, appliqued, and resist-dyed techniques. Organized by Professor Michelle Gilbert, Department of Fine Arts, Trinity College, CT, and featuring objects on loan from the collections of Michelle Gilbert, and the Amyas Naegele and Eve Glasberg Collection, NY, this exhibition is sponsored in part by the Maxwell African Scholars Union, Moynihan Institute of Global Affairs, Syracuse University. In all cultures clothing does more than simply cover the body. It communicates subtle visual messages about the owner. What and how it is worn, can be interpreted as a statement of flamboyant ostentation or modest conservatism. It may signal the prominence of a wealthy and powerful king, the presence of a deity, or the existence of a mad man. The textile culture in West African is very old, weaving is documented at Igbo Ukwu, Nigeria in the 9th-10th century and by the 11th century weaving flourished in Mali. Used in a variety of ways, African textiles can be presented as gifts to the living and the dead; used in a bride's dowry; displayed at weddings and funerals; used as blankets for protection from the cold and mosquitoes; spread on the ground for a chief to walk over or placed in layers to cover his palanquin or funeral bed. Textiles are worn to flatter or flirt, to display power or express silent insults, or to show common group identity. The artists' aesthetic sensibility is revealed in the cloth's intricate patterns, textures and technical flair.

Archbold Theater, Syracuse Stage
820 E. Genesee St.,

Experience Charles Dickens' great novel (arguably his greatest) in one energetic and sweeping evening of theatre. This compact adaptation cuts right to the narrative core of Pip's unexpected journey from orphan to gentleman as aided and inhibited by three memorable Dickens characters: the escaped convict Magwitch, the beautiful Estella, and the lonely, embittered Miss Havisham. Six actors create an atmospheric Victorian world in this fast-paced classic coming-of-age adventure.

Stanley Wolukau-Wanambwa: One Wall a Web Light Work Gallery
Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Stanley Wolukau-Wanambwa's "One Wall a Web" is an exhibition that gathers together work from two discrete photographic series that he made in the United States: "Our Present Invention" (2012–2014) and "All My Gone Life" (2014–2016). Both the series and the exhibition draw their titles from the poetry of Muriel Rukeyser. "One Wall a Web" not only explores the mutability of archival images, but the ongoing presence of history in the present day. According to Wolukau-Wanambwa, the exhibition attempts to address "the normalcy of fear, separateness and violence in a moment suffused by them, but also in a culture riven by the habitually limited prescriptions of images." The exhibition comprises two distinct strands of photographs: the first, a series of appropriated archival 4 × 5 inch negatives; the second, a series of original photographs. Stanley Wolukau-Wanambwa is a photographer, writer, and editor of The Great Leap Sideways. He has contributed essays to catalogues and monographs by Vanessa Winship, George Georgiou, and Paul Graham, written for Aperture magazine, and is a faculty member in the photography department at Purchase College, SUNY. Wolukau-Wanambwa participated in Light Work's Artist-in-Residence Program in May 2015.

It's A Wrap! West African Textiles Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
"It's A Wrap! West African Textiles" is an exhibition featuring over 40 examples of textiles and their accompanying tools. Drawn from geographically proximate locales in West Africa, including Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria and Cameroon, the textiles on display exemplify woven, stamped, appliqued, and resist-dyed techniques. Organized by Professor Michelle Gilbert, Department of Fine Arts, Trinity College, CT, and featuring objects on loan from the collections of Michelle Gilbert, and the Amyas Naegele and Eve Glasberg Collection, NY, this exhibition is sponsored in part by the Maxwell African Scholars Union, Moynihan Institute of Global Affairs, Syracuse University. In all cultures clothing does more than simply cover the body. It communicates subtle visual messages about the owner. What and how it is worn, can be interpreted as a statement of flamboyant ostentation or modest conservatism. It may signal the prominence of a wealthy and powerful king, the presence of a deity, or the existence of a mad man. The textile culture in West African is very old, weaving is documented at Igbo Ukwu, Nigeria in the 9th-10th century and by the 11th century weaving flourished in Mali. Used in a variety of ways, African textiles can be presented as gifts to the living and the dead; used in a bride's dowry; displayed at weddings and funerals; used as blankets for protection from the cold and mosquitoes; spread on the ground for a chief to walk over or placed in layers to cover his palanquin or funeral bed. Textiles are worn to flatter or flirt, to display power or express silent insults, or to show common group identity. The artists' aesthetic sensibility is revealed in the cloth's intricate patterns, textures and technical flair.

Opening: within walls: New Work by Karin Waisman Point of Contact Gallery
Price: Free Point of Contact Gallery

Syracuse
There will be an opening reception this evening 6:00-8:00 pm. Refreshments will be served. Free parking is available the night of the reception in the Syracuse University lot on the corner of West Street and West Fayette Street. "within walls" reflects upon the natural processes of growth and decay. Each piece, made out of many cast or modeled fragments, is the outcome of the process of making it. The wall, no longer flat, becomes the concrete support of the work. A mural like quality of the pieces transforms the wall into a tactile and intricate sensuous surface. Ornament and wall become a metaphor for a time caught between permanence and evanescence.

"When you put beauty in a place that has none, that's a game changer." —Ron Finley, the "Gangster Gardener" South Los Angeles. What comes to mind is gangs, drugs, liquor stores, abandoned buildings, and vacant lots. The last thing that you would expect to find is a beautiful garden sprouting up through the concrete, coloring the urban landscape. As part of an urban gardening movement taking root in South LA, people are planting to transform their neighborhoods and are changing their own lives in the process. Calling for people to put down their guns and pick up their shovels, these "gangster gardeners" are creating an oasis in the middle of one of the most notoriously dangerous places in America. Directed by Delila Vallot. The screening will be followed by a facilitated discussion.

It's A Wrap! West African Textiles Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
"It's A Wrap! West African Textiles" is an exhibition featuring over 40 examples of textiles and their accompanying tools. Drawn from geographically proximate locales in West Africa, including Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria and Cameroon, the textiles on display exemplify woven, stamped, appliqued, and resist-dyed techniques. Organized by Professor Michelle Gilbert, Department of Fine Arts, Trinity College, CT, and featuring objects on loan from the collections of Michelle Gilbert, and the Amyas Naegele and Eve Glasberg Collection, NY, this exhibition is sponsored in part by the Maxwell African Scholars Union, Moynihan Institute of Global Affairs, Syracuse University. In all cultures clothing does more than simply cover the body. It communicates subtle visual messages about the owner. What and how it is worn, can be interpreted as a statement of flamboyant ostentation or modest conservatism. It may signal the prominence of a wealthy and powerful king, the presence of a deity, or the existence of a mad man. The textile culture in West African is very old, weaving is documented at Igbo Ukwu, Nigeria in the 9th-10th century and by the 11th century weaving flourished in Mali. Used in a variety of ways, African textiles can be presented as gifts to the living and the dead; used in a bride's dowry; displayed at weddings and funerals; used as blankets for protection from the cold and mosquitoes; spread on the ground for a chief to walk over or placed in layers to cover his palanquin or funeral bed. Textiles are worn to flatter or flirt, to display power or express silent insults, or to show common group identity. The artists' aesthetic sensibility is revealed in the cloth's intricate patterns, textures and technical flair.

within walls: New Work by Karin Waisman Point of Contact Gallery
Price: Free Point of Contact Gallery
350 W. Fayette St.,
Syracuse
"within walls" reflects upon the natural processes of growth and decay. Each piece, made out of many cast or modeled fragments, is the outcome of the process of making it. The wall, no longer flat, becomes the concrete support of the work. A mural like quality of the pieces transforms the wall into a tactile and intricate sensuous surface. Ornament and wall become a metaphor for a time caught between permanence and evanescence.

820 E. Genesee St.,

Join us for a first look at a new play by Kate Tarker, a fresh new voice in the American theater. It's company outing day, and Laura, one of the top travel agents of her generation, is having the best/worst day of her life. So much so that she decides to end it all. Afterwards, her colleagues try to piece things together on a memorial blog, but how do you mourn someone you didn't know that well? Laura and the Sea is many things: a comedy about depression, a meditation on human connection in the digital age, and a treatise on travel agents who don't travel.

Great Expectations Syracuse Stage Michael Bloom, director
Archbold Theater, Syracuse Stage
820 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
Experience Charles Dickens' great novel (arguably his greatest) in one energetic and sweeping evening of theatre. This compact adaptation cuts right to the narrative core of Pip's unexpected journey from orphan to gentleman as aided and inhibited by three memorable Dickens characters: the escaped convict Magwitch, the beautiful Estella, and the lonely, embittered Miss Havisham. Six actors create an atmospheric Victorian world in this fast-paced classic coming-of-age adventure.

Opening: Laura and the Sea Syracuse University Drama Department Katherine McGerr, director
Storch Theater, Syracuse Stage
820 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
Join us for a first look at a new play by Kate Tarker, a fresh new voice in the American theater. It's company outing day, and Laura, one of the top travel agents of her generation, is having the best/worst day of her life. So much so that she decides to end it all. Afterwards, her colleagues try to piece things together on a memorial blog, but how do you mourn someone you didn't know that well? Laura and the Sea is many things: a comedy about depression, a meditation on human connection in the digital age, and a treatise on travel agents who don't travel.
