Joanne Balfour and Barb Schramm: Theorums and Victorian Santas Gallery 54
Gallery 54
54 E. Genesee St.,
Skaneateles
Both Barbara Schramm and Joanne Balfour are well known in the Central New York art community. Schramm is a painter of old-world Victorian Santas, and Joanne Balfour uses 19th-century techniques for inspiration for her theorem paintings. Joanne Balfour was drawn to the history and type of home decorative arts done in 17th and 18th century England and America. Her theorem paintings exhibit a technique practiced by young ladies in early 19th-century American academies. Stencils were often provided by their teachers and used in various combinations by the girls to create their oil paintings or watercolors on cotton velveteen, often embellished with freehand details. Barbara Schramm's Old World, Victorian Santas (or Father Christmases) are painted on quarter-sawn Finger Lakes sycamore, oak or pine. The reverse of each painting indicates where in the world the depicted Santa became popular.

Price: $5 suggested donation Everson Museum of Art

Adelaide Alsop Robineau, a major figure in the Arts and Crafts movement and today considered one of America's preeminent art potters, is known for her exquisite porcelains decorated with intricate carvings and crystalline glazes. This exhibition features more than seventy of Robineau's works, a number of which were part of the Everson's original purchase of Robineau's porcelains in 1916, an acquisition that set the course for the Museum's long-term commitment to collecting ceramics. On display in the exhibition are many visitor favorites, including the famous Scarab Vase, believed to be Robineau's masterpiece.

Three Graces Everson Museum of Art
Price: $5 suggested donation Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
The Three Graces were known in ancient mythology as enchanting goddesses who personified the primary attributes of creativity: Beauty, Wonder and Joy. In a recasting of this mythical triumvirate, the Everson introduces three contemporary artists from New York – Polly Apfelbaum, Tony Feher and Carrie Moyer – whose spectacular abstract works embody these qualities. More than just a typical exhibition, Three Graces is also a revelatory experience, as the artists have created new works inspired by pieces from the Museum's collection, which are also included. From Moyer's biomorphic paintings, to Apfelbaum's playful textiles, and Feher's magical installations, Three Graces connects the past and present through beauty, wonder, and joy.

Gods and Monsters: Three Centuries of Portraiture Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
This exhibition represents an overview of the portraiture genre for over three centuries, examining how artists have portrayed themselves and others within different contexts and in a variety of media and styles. From 19th-century painted miniatures to contemporary color photographs, these portraits drawn from the Everson collection depict a heterogeneous cast of characters both remembered and forgotten, lauded and reviled. Stretching the conventions of the genre, the exhibition includes works by Andy Warhol, William Wegman and others as well as more traditional portrait paintings by artists such as Cecelia Beaux and Gilbert Stuart.

The Santaland Diaries Syracuse Stage Wendy Knox, director
Storch Theater, Syracuse Stage
820 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
Back by popular demand: David Sedaris' perfect antidote to holiday madness. For those who like a little jeer with their Christmas cheer, The Santaland Diaries offers Crumpet, a 33-year-old starving artist turned Macy's elf. It's the most wonderful time of the year, but who would know it from the bad Santas, naughty elves, cranky kids, and pushy parents who test Crumpet's last elfin nerve. With sardonic wit, Sedaris takes us all playfully to task for plunging into the Christmas $pirit while missing the point. For mature elves only.

Joanne Balfour and Barb Schramm: Theorums and Victorian Santas Gallery 54
Gallery 54
54 E. Genesee St.,
Skaneateles
Both Barbara Schramm and Joanne Balfour are well known in the Central New York art community. Schramm is a painter of old-world Victorian Santas, and Joanne Balfour uses 19th-century techniques for inspiration for her theorem paintings. Joanne Balfour was drawn to the history and type of home decorative arts done in 17th and 18th century England and America. Her theorem paintings exhibit a technique practiced by young ladies in early 19th-century American academies. Stencils were often provided by their teachers and used in various combinations by the girls to create their oil paintings or watercolors on cotton velveteen, often embellished with freehand details. Barbara Schramm's Old World, Victorian Santas (or Father Christmases) are painted on quarter-sawn Finger Lakes sycamore, oak or pine. The reverse of each painting indicates where in the world the depicted Santa became popular.

Three Graces Everson Museum of Art
Price: $5 suggested donation Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
The Three Graces were known in ancient mythology as enchanting goddesses who personified the primary attributes of creativity: Beauty, Wonder and Joy. In a recasting of this mythical triumvirate, the Everson introduces three contemporary artists from New York – Polly Apfelbaum, Tony Feher and Carrie Moyer – whose spectacular abstract works embody these qualities. More than just a typical exhibition, Three Graces is also a revelatory experience, as the artists have created new works inspired by pieces from the Museum's collection, which are also included. From Moyer's biomorphic paintings, to Apfelbaum's playful textiles, and Feher's magical installations, Three Graces connects the past and present through beauty, wonder, and joy.

This exhibition represents an overview of the portraiture genre for over three centuries, examining how artists have portrayed themselves and others within different contexts and in a variety of media and styles.

Black Utopias Syracuse University Library Special Collections Research Center
Price: Free Bird Library, 6th Floor
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Co-curated by Dr. Joan Bryant, associate professor in the African American Studies Department, and Dr. Lucy Mulroney, interim senior director of the Special Collections Research Center, "Black Utopias" commemorates the 50th anniversary of the publication of The Autobiography of Malcolm X, the best-selling narrative of one of the most prominent men of the Civil Rights era. This anniversary holds special significance for Syracuse University because the Libraries' Special Collections Research Center is home to the records of Grove Press, the avant-garde publisher of the Autobiography. Grove hailed the book as one of its "most important" publications. The first printing of 10,000 copies sold out before it was released in October 1965. "Black Utopias" takes the personal transformations that form the narrative arc of Malcolm X's Autobiography as the framework for exploring a range of utopian visions that have shaped Black American life. Although utopias are, by definition, the stuff of dreams, the examples presented in this exhibition are firmly rooted in historical experiences of subjugation, inequality, and injustice. They are at once visionary and modest endeavors to craft worlds of freedom, unity, power, equality, and beauty. The exhibit will feature the handwritten letter that Malcolm X sent to Alex Haley during his pilgrimage to Mecca, as well as other unique and rare materials from the collections. It includes documents by little-known individuals and such prominent figures as W.E.B. Dubois, Langston Hughes, Madam C. J. Walker, James Ford, and Martin Luther King, Jr.

Over and Over 914Works
Price: Free 914Works
914 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
Work by Stefan Marc Zoller and Brent Michael Erickson, both graduate students in the SU School of Art, is featured in the new exhibition "Over and Over." Memory plays a significant role in the work of both artists, both in the sense of drawing from a memory and in the use of repetition. The repeated motif in Zoller's "Interior Witness Group" is based on a nondescript yet familiar space that has been the site of years of memory. Through its repetition, Zoller contemplates and confronts the host of memory to which it has borne witness. Erickson's "White Noise" presents works both in the present and past as documentation of temporary wall drawings, which no longer exist, are paired next to lithographs to question how the memory of a work can be used to inform new works. "Over and Over" is meant to question the role memory plays in the artist's studio as well as how these memories can relate to others to create a connection or conversation.

Poetry of Content: Five Contemporary Representational Artists Syracuse University Art Museum
Price: Free Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
In the landscape of contemporary practice, representational imagery has seemingly gone into hiding. With few exceptions, imagery that incorporates a realistic visual space, modeled figures and natural surroundings is largely absent from the lexicon of art making. Over his more than 40 years as a painter and professor at Syracuse University, internationally recognized artist and co-curator Jerome Within has championed representation and narrative in his work and his teaching. Poetry of Content is an examination and celebration of the work of five painters who share Witkin's interest in the subject: Bill Murphy, Gillian Pederson-Krag, Joel Sheesley, Robert Birmelin and Tim Lowly. Featuring over 40 pieces of original artwork, this exhibition displays a variety of representational imagery as paintings, drawings, and prints.

Hard Earned: The Military Photographs of Stacy Pearsall Syracuse University Art Museum
Price: Free Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
The exhibit presents over 15 years of Pearsall's career documenting military events and persons. Curated by Theresa Moir, a second year Syracuse University graduate student pursuing concurrent degrees in Museum Studies and Art History, this exhibition draws its content from Pearsall's combat photography taken overseas on active duty in the Air Force, as well as her more recent Veterans Portrait Project. Stacy L. Pearsall got her start as an Air Force photographer at the age of 17. During her time in the service, she traveled to over 41 countries, and attended S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. Now combat disabled and retired from military service, Pearsall continues to work worldwide as a freelance photographer, and is an author, educator, military consultant, public speaker and founder of the Veterans Portrait Project. Pearsall was one of only two women to win NPPA's Military Photographer of the Year competition, and the only woman to have earned it twice. She's been honored as the Air Force Veteran of the Year by the Air Force Band and PBS, presented the Trojan Labor American Hero Award, honored with the Daughters of the American Revolution Margaret Cochran Corbin Award, lauded by the White House as a Champion of Change, and holds an honorary doctoral degree from The Citadel.

A sought-after speaker and educator, teaching classes and seminars throughout the country and overseas, Heisler was appointed a Distinguished Professor of Photography in the Multimedia Photography & Design program at the S.I.

Co-curated by Dr. Joan Bryant, associate professor in the African American Studies Department, and Dr. Lucy Mulroney, interim senior director of the Special Collections Research Center, "Black Utopias" commemorates the 50th anniversary of the publication of The Autobiography of Malcolm X, the best-selling narrative of one of the most prominent men of the Civil Rights era. This anniversary holds special significance for Syracuse University because the Libraries' Special Collections Research Center is home to the records of Grove Press, the avant-garde publisher of the Autobiography. Grove hailed the book as one of its "most important" publications. The first printing of 10,000 copies sold out before it was released in October 1965. "Black Utopias" takes the personal transformations that form the narrative arc of Malcolm X's Autobiography as the framework for exploring a range of utopian visions that have shaped Black American life. Although utopias are, by definition, the stuff of dreams, the examples presented in this exhibition are firmly rooted in historical experiences of subjugation, inequality, and injustice. They are at once visionary and modest endeavors to craft worlds of freedom, unity, power, equality, and beauty. The exhibit will feature the handwritten letter that Malcolm X sent to Alex Haley during his pilgrimage to Mecca, as well as other unique and rare materials from the collections. It includes documents by little-known individuals and such prominent figures as W.E.B. Dubois, Langston Hughes, Madam C. J. Walker, James Ford, and Martin Luther King, Jr.

Joanne Balfour and Barb Schramm: Theorums and Victorian Santas Gallery 54
Gallery 54
54 E. Genesee St.,
Skaneateles
Both Barbara Schramm and Joanne Balfour are well known in the Central New York art community. Schramm is a painter of old-world Victorian Santas, and Joanne Balfour uses 19th-century techniques for inspiration for her theorem paintings. Joanne Balfour was drawn to the history and type of home decorative arts done in 17th and 18th century England and America. Her theorem paintings exhibit a technique practiced by young ladies in early 19th-century American academies. Stencils were often provided by their teachers and used in various combinations by the girls to create their oil paintings or watercolors on cotton velveteen, often embellished with freehand details. Barbara Schramm's Old World, Victorian Santas (or Father Christmases) are painted on quarter-sawn Finger Lakes sycamore, oak or pine. The reverse of each painting indicates where in the world the depicted Santa became popular.

Over and Over 914Works
Price: Free 914Works
914 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
Work by Stefan Marc Zoller and Brent Michael Erickson, both graduate students in the SU School of Art, is featured in the new exhibition "Over and Over." Memory plays a significant role in the work of both artists, both in the sense of drawing from a memory and in the use of repetition. The repeated motif in Zoller's "Interior Witness Group" is based on a nondescript yet familiar space that has been the site of years of memory. Through its repetition, Zoller contemplates and confronts the host of memory to which it has borne witness. Erickson's "White Noise" presents works both in the present and past as documentation of temporary wall drawings, which no longer exist, are paired next to lithographs to question how the memory of a work can be used to inform new works. "Over and Over" is meant to question the role memory plays in the artist's studio as well as how these memories can relate to others to create a connection or conversation.

Poetry of Content: Five Contemporary Representational Artists Syracuse University Art Museum

Syracuse University,

In the landscape of contemporary practice, representational imagery has seemingly gone into hiding. With few exceptions, imagery that incorporates a realistic visual space, modeled figures and natural surroundings is largely absent from the lexicon of art making. Over his more than 40 years as a painter and professor at Syracuse University, internationally recognized artist and co-curator Jerome Within has championed representation and narrative in his work and his teaching. Poetry of Content is an examination and celebration of the work of five painters who share Witkin's interest in the subject: Bill Murphy, Gillian Pederson-Krag, Joel Sheesley, Robert Birmelin and Tim Lowly. Featuring over 40 pieces of original artwork, this exhibition displays a variety of representational imagery as paintings, drawings, and prints.

In 1965, the Museum of Modern Art opened The Responsive Eye, a landmark exhibition which featured works by 100 modern artists who used abstract forms to examine how different shapes, patterns and colors could affect the eye of a viewer. Often called "Op Art" due to their relationships to the study of optics and optical illusions, these works appear to move, shimmer or vibrate despite the fact that they are stationary. This exhibition revisits the work of four of the artists included in the seminal survey: Josef Albers, Richard Anuszkiewicz, Frank Stella and Victor Vasarely, as well as their Latin contemporary Jesús Rafael Soto.

This solo exhibition is, in part, the result of Consuelo Underwood creating a site-specific mixed media installation on an ArtRage gallery wall. It will also include a selection of her fiber and woven art from the past 30 years. Underwood says her work "is a reflection of personal border experiences: the interconnectedness of societies, insisting on beauty in struggle, and celebrating the notion of 'seeing' this world through my tricultural lens. I think we, as a nation, should be taking care of the land and its flowers. The 'borders' are taking a toll on the flora and fauna of America. The ecological balance has been altered and the 'border' is creating a desert wasteland that will cross the entire North American continent."
