The fall art exhibit gives us the opportunity to linger with wild animals and appreciate them all the more. With her zoom lenses and watchful eye, along with a great deal of time spent in nature, Sandra Roe is able to capture unique images and bring us up close to animals that we often miss or may never have seen.

Nicholas Muellner: Asea Light Work Gallery
Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Nicholas Muellner's "Asea" offers up photographs depicting people pantomiming in a verdant landscape made complex with surreal lighting; these images are paired with an issue of Contact Sheet that serves as a guidebook to the exhibition. The text in Contact Sheet is wryly poetic and succinct, and loosely leads us from picture to picture. "Asea" takes us somewhere without making its destination specific, setting a tone and mood that guides our desire for meaning but refuses to precisely locate it. With "Asea," Muellner projects a state of limbo and a search for personal meaning within photography's inevitable narrative limits. We are asked to ponder alone, in a subjective state that is not fixed but which hovers within the parameters established by the photographs and text. Ultimately, we engage with "Asea" because it is at once thoughtful, beautiful, and curious.

Homeward to the Prairie I Come: Gordon Parks Photographs Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
A new exhibition of the work of renowned photographer, writer, poet, musician, and composer Gordon Parks features more than 75 of Parks' images, examining his wide-ranging artistic ideas. The exhibition not only includes Parks' documentary photography such as the series Paris Fashions, Fort Scott Revisited, The Redemption of the Champion (featuring images of Muhammed Ali), but also his thoughts on photography as a fine art medium and his engagement with celebrated paintings and sculptures. Most significantly, the photographs instigate cultural change by challenging viewers to imagine a more inclusive culture than the one they know: a world where Black skin represents ideal beauty, where an African American athlete embodies the exemplary hero, and where an artist of African heritage has a place within the lineage of excellent artists in Western art history.

Mithila Women Paint Gender-Based Violence in the 21st Century Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
For centuries, Mithila painters who work in Northeastern India have made paintings of gods and auspicious symbols on the walls and floors of their homes. This exhibition investigates a recent development within this long tradition of Indian folk art, where, beginning in the mid-2000s, artists began making paintings drawn from their own lived experiences. These women painters depicted the violence enacted against them, including dowry deaths, female feticide, and male kin's control generally. In doing so, this exhibition will draw attention to the patriarchal structures of this rural Indian community and broader structures of gender-based violence worldwide.

Fruits of Their Labor: Work and Leisure at the Syracuse University Art Museum Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
"Fruits of Their Labor" seeks to reexamine depictions of labor and leisure in the Syracuse University Art Museum's permanent collection. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed systemic problems in the workplace, mirroring the societal shifts in the labor industry during the Great Depression. Through thematic groupings such as those that depict women's work in and out of the home or behind the scenes views into the entertainment industry, this exhibition challenges conventional depictions of labor.

Damon Fowler The 443 Social Club
The 443 Social Club
443 Burnet Ave.,
Syracuse
Florida's Gulf Coast has produced a plethora of distinctive musicians, from the blues of Tampa Red to jazz greats Cannonball and Nat Adderley to former Allman Brothers guitarist Dickey Betts to The Outlaws. Tampa's Damon Fowler, a masterful singer, guitar player, and songwriter, has absorbed the best of and furthered the work of the region's definitive artists. A hard-driving troubadour, his music is steeped with soul and representative of the many styles that make up the roots of American music. He gained the respect of his peers given his featured slot in Butch Truck's Freight Train band and his side gig as guitarist in the Dickey Betts Band.

Tim Atseff: Final Edition Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Fifty years following his Everson Museum debut, Syracuse-native Tim Atseff returns with a solo exhibition dedicated to a topic he knows intimately — the news media. Atseff spent nearly five decades working in the newspaper business in various professional roles and is perhaps best-known for penning editorial cartoons that satirically skewered political and public figures in print. Atseff's artistic practice is similarly grounded in current events, but as a platform for expressing his personal views about existential crises facing the world today, it is writ large and in full color in paintings, assemblages, and installations. For the Everson, Atseff presents a selection of recent works about the continued shuttering of American newspapers — and what it means for the future of journalistic integrity, an informed public, and national political debate. Timed to coincide with the 2024 US Presidential elections, "Tim Atseff: Final Edition" features more than 15 works from the last decade, along with a selection of editorial cartoons penned during Atseff's newspaper career.

Sascha Brastoff: California King Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
There are many wild and colorful characters in the history of American ceramics, but most pale in comparison to Sascha Brastoff. We most remember Brastoff as a prolific designer of midcentury dinnerware, but he also served in the US Army during World War II, where he created props and costumes for Special Services events to entertain troops. Brastoff also performed as his drag alter-ego, G.I. Carmen Miranda, and was cast in a Broadway production, Winged Victory (later adapted into the 1944 movie of the same name). When the war ended, Brastoff moved to Los Angeles to design costumes for film stars, including the real Carmen Miranda. Brastoff then built a dinnerware empire (bankrolled by a Rockefeller) after taking a top prize in the Syracuse Museum of Fine Art's 1948 Ceramic National exhibition. Throughout his career, Brastoff rubbed elbows with celebrities and was at the heart of L.A.'s Queer underground. Besides his work in ceramics, Brastoff also mastered jewelry, metalwork, enamels, and created erotic works for many private clients.

Cali M. Banks: I’ve Learned to Hold Myself Softly Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Cali M. Banks, whose ancestors are both Munsee Lenape and Scottish, recently returned to Syracuse, where she was born and raised. As an artist, Banks has long embraced photography as her medium of choice. Rather than embracing photography's objective or journalistic qualities, Banks seeks to personalize her work through a combination of alchemical processes and labor-intensive embellishment. The result is a body of work that balances nostalgia, loss, identity, longing, and a sense of community. "I've Learned to Hold Myself Softly" utilizes self-portraiture, still-lifes, and architecture to examine Banks' return to Syracuse. Many of the places that she had found solace in as a youth have now been demolished, abandoned, or gentrified. "I've Learned to Hold Myself Softly" funnels the emotions associated with loss and change into works that reflect the conflicting realities and collateral damage that stem from the rapid changes Syracuse has undergone during the past decade.

Putting Art to Work: Prints of the Works Progress Administration Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
The Great Depression reached its peak in 1933 when the unemployment rate in the United States plummeted to 20%. The Public Works of Art Project, a relief measure to employ artists, was one of many New Deal initiatives that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed into law during his first year in office. In 1935, the program was replaced by the Federal Art Project, which was administered by the Works Progress Administration. Together, the two programs employed more than 10,000 artists and generated an estimated 400,000 paintings, murals, prints, and posters. The Everson Museum of Art (then the Syracuse Museum of Fine Arts) played an important role as Museum Director Anna Wetherill Olmsted oversaw the Central New York region of the Federal Art Project. Putting Art to Work features more than 60 prints made under the auspices of the Public Works of Art Project and the Federal Art Project between 1934 and 1942. Most of the prints in the Everson's collection were donated to the Museum by the Public Works of Art Project of New York City, but Putting Art to Work includes key loans from the Syracuse University Art Museum, the Tyler Art Gallery at SUNY Oswego, the Picker Art Gallery at Colgate University, and the Onondaga Historical Association that show the program's economic and cultural impact on our region's public institutions and artists.

Clayscapes Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Clayscapes is a tribute to clay's ubiquitous presence in our lives, and to the powerful metaphorical and spiritual role that it can play. The Everson's famous collection of ceramics is filled with works that explore the landscape—from artist Robert Arneson's monumental celebration of California's mountainous landscape to Uruguayan-born Lidya Buzio's earthy vessels adorned with the skyline of her adopted home in New York City. The collection contains many commercially produced souvenir plates and pitchers meant to commemorate and memorialize specific places. These wares are a distinctive part of the Museum's collection, and they provide inspiration for contemporary artists such as Paul Scott, who makes commemorative plates that reflect the ways that humans have altered the landscape and exploited its resources. As artists continue to shape clay, Clayscapes recognizes the ways in which clay shapes us. The Everson's ceramic collection is filled with work that documents the joys and sorrows of humankind's relationship with the Earth. This exhibition pays tribute to the powerful connection between artists and the world around them.

"Off the Rack" is the happy by-product of a major renovation of the Everson's on-site art storage. As hundreds of paintings and framed works are displaced from their racks while renovations take place, the public has an unprecedented opportunity to view objects that have been in deep storage for years, never-before-seen recent acquisitions, and some perennial favorites — all hung together salon-style in our exhibition galleries. This smorgasbord of paintings and works on paper showcases the breadth and depth of the Museum's collections and provides a glimpse into the world of collections management and care.

Nicholas Muellner: Asea Light Work Gallery
Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Nicholas Muellner's "Asea" offers up photographs depicting people pantomiming in a verdant landscape made complex with surreal lighting; these images are paired with an issue of Contact Sheet that serves as a guidebook to the exhibition. The text in Contact Sheet is wryly poetic and succinct, and loosely leads us from picture to picture. "Asea" takes us somewhere without making its destination specific, setting a tone and mood that guides our desire for meaning but refuses to precisely locate it. With "Asea," Muellner projects a state of limbo and a search for personal meaning within photography's inevitable narrative limits. We are asked to ponder alone, in a subjective state that is not fixed but which hovers within the parameters established by the photographs and text. Ultimately, we engage with "Asea" because it is at once thoughtful, beautiful, and curious.

Mithila Women Paint Gender-Based Violence in the 21st Century Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
For centuries, Mithila painters who work in Northeastern India have made paintings of gods and auspicious symbols on the walls and floors of their homes. This exhibition investigates a recent development within this long tradition of Indian folk art, where, beginning in the mid-2000s, artists began making paintings drawn from their own lived experiences. These women painters depicted the violence enacted against them, including dowry deaths, female feticide, and male kin's control generally. In doing so, this exhibition will draw attention to the patriarchal structures of this rural Indian community and broader structures of gender-based violence worldwide.

Homeward to the Prairie I Come: Gordon Parks Photographs Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
A new exhibition of the work of renowned photographer, writer, poet, musician, and composer Gordon Parks features more than 75 of Parks' images, examining his wide-ranging artistic ideas. The exhibition not only includes Parks' documentary photography such as the series Paris Fashions, Fort Scott Revisited, The Redemption of the Champion (featuring images of Muhammed Ali), but also his thoughts on photography as a fine art medium and his engagement with celebrated paintings and sculptures. Most significantly, the photographs instigate cultural change by challenging viewers to imagine a more inclusive culture than the one they know: a world where Black skin represents ideal beauty, where an African American athlete embodies the exemplary hero, and where an artist of African heritage has a place within the lineage of excellent artists in Western art history.

Tim Atseff: Final Edition Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Fifty years following his Everson Museum debut, Syracuse-native Tim Atseff returns with a solo exhibition dedicated to a topic he knows intimately — the news media. Atseff spent nearly five decades working in the newspaper business in various professional roles and is perhaps best-known for penning editorial cartoons that satirically skewered political and public figures in print. Atseff's artistic practice is similarly grounded in current events, but as a platform for expressing his personal views about existential crises facing the world today, it is writ large and in full color in paintings, assemblages, and installations. For the Everson, Atseff presents a selection of recent works about the continued shuttering of American newspapers — and what it means for the future of journalistic integrity, an informed public, and national political debate. Timed to coincide with the 2024 US Presidential elections, "Tim Atseff: Final Edition" features more than 15 works from the last decade, along with a selection of editorial cartoons penned during Atseff's newspaper career.

Syracuse University,
Syracuse
For centuries, Mithila painters who work in Northeastern India have made paintings of gods and auspicious symbols on the walls and floors of their homes. This exhibition investigates a recent development within this long tradition of Indian folk art, where, beginning in the mid-2000s, artists began making paintings drawn from their own lived experiences. These women painters depicted the violence enacted against them, including dowry deaths, female feticide, and male kin's control generally. In doing so, this exhibition will draw attention to the patriarchal structures of this rural Indian community and broader structures of gender-based violence worldwide.

Homeward to the Prairie I Come: Gordon Parks Photographs Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
A new exhibition of the work of renowned photographer, writer, poet, musician, and composer Gordon Parks features more than 75 of Parks' images, examining his wide-ranging artistic ideas. The exhibition not only includes Parks' documentary photography such as the series Paris Fashions, Fort Scott Revisited, The Redemption of the Champion (featuring images of Muhammed Ali), but also his thoughts on photography as a fine art medium and his engagement with celebrated paintings and sculptures. Most significantly, the photographs instigate cultural change by challenging viewers to imagine a more inclusive culture than the one they know: a world where Black skin represents ideal beauty, where an African American athlete embodies the exemplary hero, and where an artist of African heritage has a place within the lineage of excellent artists in Western art history.

Tim Atseff: Final Edition Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Fifty years following his Everson Museum debut, Syracuse-native Tim Atseff returns with a solo exhibition dedicated to a topic he knows intimately — the news media. Atseff spent nearly five decades working in the newspaper business in various professional roles and is perhaps best-known for penning editorial cartoons that satirically skewered political and public figures in print. Atseff's artistic practice is similarly grounded in current events, but as a platform for expressing his personal views about existential crises facing the world today, it is writ large and in full color in paintings, assemblages, and installations. For the Everson, Atseff presents a selection of recent works about the continued shuttering of American newspapers — and what it means for the future of journalistic integrity, an informed public, and national political debate. Timed to coincide with the 2024 US Presidential elections, "Tim Atseff: Final Edition" features more than 15 works from the last decade, along with a selection of editorial cartoons penned during Atseff's newspaper career.

Sascha Brastoff: California King Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
There are many wild and colorful characters in the history of American ceramics, but most pale in comparison to Sascha Brastoff. We most remember Brastoff as a prolific designer of midcentury dinnerware, but he also served in the US Army during World War II, where he created props and costumes for Special Services events to entertain troops. Brastoff also performed as his drag alter-ego, G.I. Carmen Miranda, and was cast in a Broadway production, Winged Victory (later adapted into the 1944 movie of the same name). When the war ended, Brastoff moved to Los Angeles to design costumes for film stars, including the real Carmen Miranda. Brastoff then built a dinnerware empire (bankrolled by a Rockefeller) after taking a top prize in the Syracuse Museum of Fine Art's 1948 Ceramic National exhibition. Throughout his career, Brastoff rubbed elbows with celebrities and was at the heart of L.A.'s Queer underground. Besides his work in ceramics, Brastoff also mastered jewelry, metalwork, enamels, and created erotic works for many private clients.

Cali M. Banks: I’ve Learned to Hold Myself Softly Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Cali M. Banks, whose ancestors are both Munsee Lenape and Scottish, recently returned to Syracuse, where she was born and raised. As an artist, Banks has long embraced photography as her medium of choice. Rather than embracing photography's objective or journalistic qualities, Banks seeks to personalize her work through a combination of alchemical processes and labor-intensive embellishment. The result is a body of work that balances nostalgia, loss, identity, longing, and a sense of community. "I've Learned to Hold Myself Softly" utilizes self-portraiture, still-lifes, and architecture to examine Banks' return to Syracuse. Many of the places that she had found solace in as a youth have now been demolished, abandoned, or gentrified. "I've Learned to Hold Myself Softly" funnels the emotions associated with loss and change into works that reflect the conflicting realities and collateral damage that stem from the rapid changes Syracuse has undergone during the past decade.

Putting Art to Work: Prints of the Works Progress Administration Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
The Great Depression reached its peak in 1933 when the unemployment rate in the United States plummeted to 20%. The Public Works of Art Project, a relief measure to employ artists, was one of many New Deal initiatives that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed into law during his first year in office. In 1935, the program was replaced by the Federal Art Project, which was administered by the Works Progress Administration. Together, the two programs employed more than 10,000 artists and generated an estimated 400,000 paintings, murals, prints, and posters. The Everson Museum of Art (then the Syracuse Museum of Fine Arts) played an important role as Museum Director Anna Wetherill Olmsted oversaw the Central New York region of the Federal Art Project. Putting Art to Work features more than 60 prints made under the auspices of the Public Works of Art Project and the Federal Art Project between 1934 and 1942. Most of the prints in the Everson's collection were donated to the Museum by the Public Works of Art Project of New York City, but Putting Art to Work includes key loans from the Syracuse University Art Museum, the Tyler Art Gallery at SUNY Oswego, the Picker Art Gallery at Colgate University, and the Onondaga Historical Association that show the program's economic and cultural impact on our region's public institutions and artists.

Clayscapes Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Clayscapes is a tribute to clay's ubiquitous presence in our lives, and to the powerful metaphorical and spiritual role that it can play. The Everson's famous collection of ceramics is filled with works that explore the landscape—from artist Robert Arneson's monumental celebration of California's mountainous landscape to Uruguayan-born Lidya Buzio's earthy vessels adorned with the skyline of her adopted home in New York City. The collection contains many commercially produced souvenir plates and pitchers meant to commemorate and memorialize specific places. These wares are a distinctive part of the Museum's collection, and they provide inspiration for contemporary artists such as Paul Scott, who makes commemorative plates that reflect the ways that humans have altered the landscape and exploited its resources. As artists continue to shape clay, Clayscapes recognizes the ways in which clay shapes us. The Everson's ceramic collection is filled with work that documents the joys and sorrows of humankind's relationship with the Earth. This exhibition pays tribute to the powerful connection between artists and the world around them.

Ghost Walk 2024 Baldwinsville Center for the Arts
Baldwin Canal Square
Baldwinsville
The tour features ghost stories told at eight spots around the village and performed for you by live actors and narrated by tour guides. The tour launches from Baldwin Canal Square on the River (Denio Street) behind the Bville Diner and next to WT Brews. By popular demand, these stories are more scary, more spooky, and tons more creepy than in years past. This year's Ghost Walk will reach back into past and remind us all that the earliest occupants of this land we now call Baldwinsville warned newcomers of the ancient evil inhabiting the surrounding woods that feeds on the dark hearts of men. Many a local can tell you of the legends of the Witch of Whiskey Hollow and many more can share a story or two of their own frightening encounters. A guide will lead each tour group stopping to be chilled at each location along the Ghost Walk route. Tours leave every 15 minutes from under the big tent in Baldwin Canal Square. The total walking time for each is approximately 75 minutes to make all eight stops. Complimentary donuts and cider are available while you wait.

Brandon Santini The 443 Social Club
The 443 Social Club
443 Burnet Ave.,
Syracuse
There are many different opinions as to what the future of the blues harmonica will be. International touring vocalist and harmonica player Brandon Santini is undeniably a worthy player to keep an eye on as the latest surge of young blues artists leave their footprint in blues history. His name is worthy of conversations that include James Cotton, Kim Wilson, Dennis Gruenling, Charlie Musselwhite, and other frontline harmonica players by combining his love and respect for traditional blues with a present, colorful style of playing that is often compared to James Cotton or Paul Butterfield. NOTE: Tickets purchase for the postponed show in April will be honored for this concert.

Nicholas Muellner: Asea Light Work Gallery
Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Nicholas Muellner's "Asea" offers up photographs depicting people pantomiming in a verdant landscape made complex with surreal lighting; these images are paired with an issue of Contact Sheet that serves as a guidebook to the exhibition. The text in Contact Sheet is wryly poetic and succinct, and loosely leads us from picture to picture. "Asea" takes us somewhere without making its destination specific, setting a tone and mood that guides our desire for meaning but refuses to precisely locate it. With "Asea," Muellner projects a state of limbo and a search for personal meaning within photography's inevitable narrative limits. We are asked to ponder alone, in a subjective state that is not fixed but which hovers within the parameters established by the photographs and text. Ultimately, we engage with "Asea" because it is at once thoughtful, beautiful, and curious.

Mithila Women Paint Gender-Based Violence in the 21st Century Syracuse University Art Museum

This exhibition investigates a recent development within this long tradition of Indian folk art, where, beginning in the mid-2000s, artists began making paintings drawn from their own lived experiences. These women painters depicted the violence enacted against them, including dowry deaths, female feticide, and male kin's control generally. In doing so, this exhibition will draw attention to the patriarchal structures of this rural Indian community and broader structures of gender-based violence worldwide.

Fruits of Their Labor: Work and Leisure at the Syracuse University Art Museum Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
"Fruits of Their Labor" seeks to reexamine depictions of labor and leisure in the Syracuse University Art Museum's permanent collection. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed systemic problems in the workplace, mirroring the societal shifts in the labor industry during the Great Depression. Through thematic groupings such as those that depict women's work in and out of the home or behind the scenes views into the entertainment industry, this exhibition challenges conventional depictions of labor.

Homeward to the Prairie I Come: Gordon Parks Photographs Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
A new exhibition of the work of renowned photographer, writer, poet, musician, and composer Gordon Parks features more than 75 of Parks' images, examining his wide-ranging artistic ideas. The exhibition not only includes Parks' documentary photography such as the series Paris Fashions, Fort Scott Revisited, The Redemption of the Champion (featuring images of Muhammed Ali), but also his thoughts on photography as a fine art medium and his engagement with celebrated paintings and sculptures. Most significantly, the photographs instigate cultural change by challenging viewers to imagine a more inclusive culture than the one they know: a world where Black skin represents ideal beauty, where an African American athlete embodies the exemplary hero, and where an artist of African heritage has a place within the lineage of excellent artists in Western art history.

Ghost Walk 2024 Baldwinsville Center for the Arts
Baldwin Canal Square
Baldwinsville
The tour features ghost stories told at eight spots around the village and performed for you by live actors and narrated by tour guides. The tour launches from Baldwin Canal Square on the River (Denio Street) behind the Bville Diner and next to WT Brews. By popular demand, these stories are more scary, more spooky, and tons more creepy than in years past. This year's Ghost Walk will reach back into past and remind us all that the earliest occupants of this land we now call Baldwinsville warned newcomers of the ancient evil inhabiting the surrounding woods that feeds on the dark hearts of men. Many a local can tell you of the legends of the Witch of Whiskey Hollow and many more can share a story or two of their own frightening encounters. A guide will lead each tour group stopping to be chilled at each location along the Ghost Walk route. Tours leave every 15 minutes from under the big tent in Baldwin Canal Square. The total walking time for each is approximately 75 minutes to make all eight stops. Complimentary donuts and cider are available while you wait.

Tim Atseff: Final Edition Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Fifty years following his Everson Museum debut, Syracuse-native Tim Atseff returns with a solo exhibition dedicated to a topic he knows intimately — the news media. Atseff spent nearly five decades working in the newspaper business in various professional roles and is perhaps best-known for penning editorial cartoons that satirically skewered political and public figures in print. Atseff's artistic practice is similarly grounded in current events, but as a platform for expressing his personal views about existential crises facing the world today, it is writ large and in full color in paintings, assemblages, and installations. For the Everson, Atseff presents a selection of recent works about the continued shuttering of American newspapers — and what it means for the future of journalistic integrity, an informed public, and national political debate. Timed to coincide with the 2024 US Presidential elections, "Tim Atseff: Final Edition" features more than 15 works from the last decade, along with a selection of editorial cartoons penned during Atseff's newspaper career.

Sascha Brastoff: California King Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
There are many wild and colorful characters in the history of American ceramics, but most pale in comparison to Sascha Brastoff. We most remember Brastoff as a prolific designer of midcentury dinnerware, but he also served in the US Army during World War II, where he created props and costumes for Special Services events to entertain troops. Brastoff also performed as his drag alter-ego, G.I. Carmen Miranda, and was cast in a Broadway production, Winged Victory (later adapted into the 1944 movie of the same name). When the war ended, Brastoff moved to Los Angeles to design costumes for film stars, including the real Carmen Miranda. Brastoff then built a dinnerware empire (bankrolled by a Rockefeller) after taking a top prize in the Syracuse Museum of Fine Art's 1948 Ceramic National exhibition. Throughout his career, Brastoff rubbed elbows with celebrities and was at the heart of L.A.'s Queer underground. Besides his work in ceramics, Brastoff also mastered jewelry, metalwork, enamels, and created erotic works for many private clients.

Cali M. Banks: I’ve Learned to Hold Myself Softly Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Cali M. Banks, whose ancestors are both Munsee Lenape and Scottish, recently returned to Syracuse, where she was born and raised. As an artist, Banks has long embraced photography as her medium of choice. Rather than embracing photography's objective or journalistic qualities, Banks seeks to personalize her work through a combination of alchemical processes and labor-intensive embellishment. The result is a body of work that balances nostalgia, loss, identity, longing, and a sense of community. "I've Learned to Hold Myself Softly" utilizes self-portraiture, still-lifes, and architecture to examine Banks' return to Syracuse. Many of the places that she had found solace in as a youth have now been demolished, abandoned, or gentrified. "I've Learned to Hold Myself Softly" funnels the emotions associated with loss and change into works that reflect the conflicting realities and collateral damage that stem from the rapid changes Syracuse has undergone during the past decade.

Putting Art to Work: Prints of the Works Progress Administration Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
The Great Depression reached its peak in 1933 when the unemployment rate in the United States plummeted to 20%. The Public Works of Art Project, a relief measure to employ artists, was one of many New Deal initiatives that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed into law during his first year in office. In 1935, the program was replaced by the Federal Art Project, which was administered by the Works Progress Administration. Together, the two programs employed more than 10,000 artists and generated an estimated 400,000 paintings, murals, prints, and posters. The Everson Museum of Art (then the Syracuse Museum of Fine Arts) played an important role as Museum Director Anna Wetherill Olmsted oversaw the Central New York region of the Federal Art Project. Putting Art to Work features more than 60 prints made under the auspices of the Public Works of Art Project and the Federal Art Project between 1934 and 1942. Most of the prints in the Everson's collection were donated to the Museum by the Public Works of Art Project of New York City, but Putting Art to Work includes key loans from the Syracuse University Art Museum, the Tyler Art Gallery at SUNY Oswego, the Picker Art Gallery at Colgate University, and the Onondaga Historical Association that show the program's economic and cultural impact on our region's public institutions and artists.

"Off the Rack" is the happy by-product of a major renovation of the Everson's on-site art storage. As hundreds of paintings and framed works are displaced from their racks while renovations take place, the public has an unprecedented opportunity to view objects that have been in deep storage for years, never-before-seen recent acquisitions, and some perennial favorites — all hung together salon-style in our exhibition galleries. This smorgasbord of paintings and works on paper showcases the breadth and depth of the Museum's collections and provides a glimpse into the world of collections management and care.

Clayscapes Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Clayscapes is a tribute to clay's ubiquitous presence in our lives, and to the powerful metaphorical and spiritual role that it can play. The Everson's famous collection of ceramics is filled with works that explore the landscape—from artist Robert Arneson's monumental celebration of California's mountainous landscape to Uruguayan-born Lidya Buzio's earthy vessels adorned with the skyline of her adopted home in New York City. The collection contains many commercially produced souvenir plates and pitchers meant to commemorate and memorialize specific places. These wares are a distinctive part of the Museum's collection, and they provide inspiration for contemporary artists such as Paul Scott, who makes commemorative plates that reflect the ways that humans have altered the landscape and exploited its resources. As artists continue to shape clay, Clayscapes recognizes the ways in which clay shapes us. The Everson's ceramic collection is filled with work that documents the joys and sorrows of humankind's relationship with the Earth. This exhibition pays tribute to the powerful connection between artists and the world around them.

Nicholas Muellner: Asea Light Work Gallery
Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Nicholas Muellner's "Asea" offers up photographs depicting people pantomiming in a verdant landscape made complex with surreal lighting; these images are paired with an issue of Contact Sheet that serves as a guidebook to the exhibition. The text in Contact Sheet is wryly poetic and succinct, and loosely leads us from picture to picture. "Asea" takes us somewhere without making its destination specific, setting a tone and mood that guides our desire for meaning but refuses to precisely locate it. With "Asea," Muellner projects a state of limbo and a search for personal meaning within photography's inevitable narrative limits. We are asked to ponder alone, in a subjective state that is not fixed but which hovers within the parameters established by the photographs and text. Ultimately, we engage with "Asea" because it is at once thoughtful, beautiful, and curious.

A short video is offered depicting the benefits to opening the spirit to aesthetic and meaningful self-expression in later life, and tells stories of how elder artists achieve purpose, meaning and self-validation as they are freed to develop artistic skills and capacity.
