How Shall We Be Known? Illustrating Black Lives: Works by London Ladd Community Folk Art Center
Community Folk Art Center
805 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
London Ladd is a graduate of Syracuse University with an MFA in Illustration. His artwork has been featured in numerous critically acclaimed picture books, newspapers, and magazines, along with community-based murals. He uses a unique mixed media approach combining cut paper textured with acrylic paint, tissue paper, colored pencil, pen & ink to bring his diverse subjects to life. Each image is steeped in intensity and emotion, a reflection of the artist himself. His goal is to open a visual arts community center for lower-income families so they can make their own art in a fun, creative environment.

The Menagerie: Animals in Art Onondaga Historical Association
Price: Free Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
The exhibit explores animals as subjects in artwork. Animals have captured the attention of artists in Onondaga County throughout history. Some are wild animals that are integral to the natural landscape. Others are domestic helpers that assist with transportation or supplying food, or loving companions to their owners. The artwork style ranges from George Knapp's traditional early 20th century to Irene Wood's quirky mid 20th century imagination, and will include wood sculptures created by local artist Juan Taylor. The exhibit will be a treat for all animal and art lovers!

Sekou Cooke: 15-81 Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
"15-81" presents architect and urban designer Sekou Cooke's project "We Outchea: Hip-Hop Fabrications and Public Space" alongside documents relating to the 15th Ward in Syracuse. Commissioned by the Museum of Modern Art in 2021 as part of their exhibition "Reconstructions: Architecture and Blackness in America," "We Outchea" focuses on the legacy of placement and displacement of Black residents in Syracuse and considers various events in the city's history — the razing of the historic 15th Ward, the building of multiple public housing projects, and the construction of Interstate 81 — while simultaneously critiquing recent proposals to replace low-income communities with mixed-income housing. By contextualizing the We Outchea project with photographs and ephemera that tell the story of the once vibrant 15th Ward, Cooke points to a post I-81 Syracuse future of entrepreneurship and innovation.

Forever is Composed of Nows Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Whether artists respond to history or look to the future, creativity exists in the moment. Drawn from the Everson's permanent collection, Forever is Composed of Nows examines a multitude of snapshots of the present moment, grouped by theme, image, or idea across different time periods and media. By examining how artists spanning three centuries have approached their present — their now — using similar topics and motifs, this exhibition is a visual exploration of how values, societal customs, and art subjects have evolved over time.

Curious Vessels: The Rosenfield Collection Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Louise Rosenfield is among the most avid pottery collectors in the United States. Over the past 30 years, she has amassed a collection of more than 4,000 pieces of functional pottery from artists across the globe. Her ambition for her collection has always been clear — instead of donating work to a museum, she would rather donate it to a restaurant, where patrons could enjoy the work as originally intended. "Curious Vessels" is a celebration of both Rosenfield's eclectic taste and her unrivaled generosity. Museum visitors will be able to touch many of the pieces in this exhibition while watching videos of Rosenfield and notable potters from the collection pointing out details of the work. Coming this spring, the Everson's new cafe´, Louise, will be stocked with functional vessels from the Rosenfield Collection that you will be able to eat and drink out of.

Kite & Devin Ronneberg: Fever Dream Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
"Fever Dream" is an interactive multimedia installation by Kite, an Oglala Lakota performance artist, visual artist, and composer, and Devin Ronneberg, a multidisciplinary artist of Kanaka Maoli/Okinawan descent working primarily in sculpture, sound, image-making, and computational media. The work brings together their mutual interests in the implications of emergent technologies and artificial intelligence, information control and collection, Indigenous ontologies, and bodily interfaces. In response to the audience's proximity in the gallery, a large projection flips between channels algorithmically tuned in to scraped footage of conspiracy theories, paranormal and extraterrestrial sightings, and recent news broadcasts. The work plumbs the depths of the settler-colonial psyche and the ways in which settler conspiracies are often founded on a denial of Indigenous agency, such as the belief that "ancient aliens" are responsible for the building of Indigenous earthworks and monuments.

Helene Starr: Organic Unfolding Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Over the past four decades, artist Helene Starr has built a significant body of work around the act of draping clay slabs into soft crenelated forms that evoke fiber, flesh, and the natural world. Organic Unfolding marks a return to her work that utilizes curving steel forms that let her array her forms in lyrical three-dimensional compositions. Starr is one of the artists selected as part of the CNY Artist Initiative, a competitive program that highlights the multi-faceted talents of CNY artists.

Teresa James & The Rhythm Tramps The 443 Social Club
The 443 Social Club
443 Burnet Ave.,
Syracuse
Keyboardist Teresa James and her band, the Rhythm Tramps, have long reigned as one of Los Angeles' leading contemporary blues outfits, even though their uncommonly imaginative repertoire, much of it supplied by Terry Wilson, James' husband, producer, and bassist, is by no means strictly limited to the 12-bar form. Their 2019 CD Here in Babylon was nominated for a Grammy in the Contemporary Blues Album category. Soon to have a full dozen albums under their collective belt spanning 23 exciting years, Teresa James & the Rhythm Tramps remain a staple of the Los Angeles-area blues scene in addition to an international touring artist, with a sound all their own. Moving easily from Texas-style grease and blues into Memphis soul or New Orleans-flavored grooves and all points in between with fun and abandonment, as one critic said, "there are no clichés in this band."

Whitman on Walls Everson Museum of Art
Urban Video Project
Price: Free Everson Museum of Art Plaza

Walt Whitman is the iconic New York poet whose radical poem "Song of Myself" shouts out with joy the inclusivity of democracy in the Americas.

This one-hour event begins at dusk and will be screened on the façade of the Everson.

Sekou Cooke: 15-81 Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
"15-81" presents architect and urban designer Sekou Cooke's project "We Outchea: Hip-Hop Fabrications and Public Space" alongside documents relating to the 15th Ward in Syracuse. Commissioned by the Museum of Modern Art in 2021 as part of their exhibition "Reconstructions: Architecture and Blackness in America," "We Outchea" focuses on the legacy of placement and displacement of Black residents in Syracuse and considers various events in the city's history — the razing of the historic 15th Ward, the building of multiple public housing projects, and the construction of Interstate 81 — while simultaneously critiquing recent proposals to replace low-income communities with mixed-income housing. By contextualizing the We Outchea project with photographs and ephemera that tell the story of the once vibrant 15th Ward, Cooke points to a post I-81 Syracuse future of entrepreneurship and innovation.

Kite & Devin Ronneberg: Fever Dream Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
"Fever Dream" is an interactive multimedia installation by Kite, an Oglala Lakota performance artist, visual artist, and composer, and Devin Ronneberg, a multidisciplinary artist of Kanaka Maoli/Okinawan descent working primarily in sculpture, sound, image-making, and computational media. The work brings together their mutual interests in the implications of emergent technologies and artificial intelligence, information control and collection, Indigenous ontologies, and bodily interfaces. In response to the audience's proximity in the gallery, a large projection flips between channels algorithmically tuned in to scraped footage of conspiracy theories, paranormal and extraterrestrial sightings, and recent news broadcasts. The work plumbs the depths of the settler-colonial psyche and the ways in which settler conspiracies are often founded on a denial of Indigenous agency, such as the belief that "ancient aliens" are responsible for the building of Indigenous earthworks and monuments.

Price: $15 Jazz Central
441 E. Washington St.,
Syracuse
The SAMMY-winning Diana Jacobs Blues Band will perform in concert with opening act Cait Devlin to kick off a regional tour. This group of all-stars with roots in Central New York made an immediate splash as a result of what began as a blues and jazz recording project which won a 2020 Syracuse Area Music Award. The group formed full time as a result and began touring after that breakout, now playing theaters and festivals exclusively. The Jazz Central date is a rare occasion for local music lovers to witness the fruits of their labors. It is their only Syracuse date of the summer. Their album, "What She Needs," was recorded at More Sound Studio and penned exclusively by Jacobs, with collaborators Irv Lyons Jr, Dave Kuykendall and Tom Townsley, each co-writing a tune apiece with her. The line-up for this show will include Edgar Pagan (bass), Nate Felty (drums), Morris Tarbell (guitar), Chris Bauso (guitar), and Ben Shearer (keys). The talented ingenue Cait Devin, an important new performer and songwriter on the scene, will perform an opening set. Everyone attending will receive a free copy of "What She Needs."

How Shall We Be Known? Illustrating Black Lives: Works by London Ladd Community Folk Art Center
Community Folk Art Center
805 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
London Ladd is a graduate of Syracuse University with an MFA in Illustration. His artwork has been featured in numerous critically acclaimed picture books, newspapers, and magazines, along with community-based murals. He uses a unique mixed media approach combining cut paper textured with acrylic paint, tissue paper, colored pencil, pen & ink to bring his diverse subjects to life. Each image is steeped in intensity and emotion, a reflection of the artist himself. His goal is to open a visual arts community center for lower-income families so they can make their own art in a fun, creative environment.
