CNY Artist Initiative: Rich Harrington
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

Harrington's work explores how popular culture shapes identity, drawing on toys, games, and icons from his youth to create playful yet incisive autobiographical commentary. Through painting, sculpture, video, and assemblage, he reassigns familiar images and texts to reveal alternative narratives and new intersections of memory, meaning, and belonging.

   

Realities Within
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

Realities Within presents four enduring genres of artmaking to explore how artists shape, frame, and inhabit the world. Whether a landscape, cityscape, still life, or representation of the human body, these works show how each artist's reality is impacted by their lived experience. Separated by genre and installed "salon-style" — a term inspired by the 18th and 19th century Paris Salons, where paintings were hung from floor to ceiling, covering every inch of wall space — the dense arrangement invites close looking and visual comparison, encouraging viewers to find connections across time, style, and subject matter.

   

New Works in Clay
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

The Everson has a long history of working with important contemporary artists. Over the last 58 years, the Everson has produced solo exhibitions for Yoko Ono, Morris Louis, Joan Mitchell, Bill Viola, William Wegman, Carrie Mae Weems, and a host of artists who loom large on the world stage. No exhibition in the Everson's history can compare to New Works in Clay by Contemporary Painters and Sculptors, a 1976 exhibition that involved bringing well-known painters and sculptors to Syracuse to produce a body of work in ceramics. The project was the brainchild of Margie Hughto, who served as both a professor at Syracuse University and as a curator at the Everson.

For the first time in 50 years, the Everson will bring together ceramic works by the original 11 participants, as well as works by artists like Kenneth Noland and Mary Frank who participated in subsequent projects in 1978 and 1981. Five decades later, it is not unusual for clay to be a part of an artist's repertoire. New Works in Clay explores how the Everson broke down barriers between art and craft and set the stage for the current ceramic renaissance in the art world.

   

Come From Away
Syracuse Stage
James Vásquez, director

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

An uplifting musical about open doors and open hearts.

On September 11, 2001, 38 planes were diverted to Gander Airport after U.S. airspace was indefinitely closed, stranding 7,000 international travelers in Newfoundland and immediately doubling the population of a tiny, isolated island town. The townspeople quickly respond with heroic hospitality, inviting the beleaguered travelers into their bars, their homes, and their hearts. Set to rousing, rowdy, and rough-hewn folk songs, Come From Away is the Tony Award-winning true story of human decency, a triumphant and inspiring tribute to an unforgettable moment in history, and a one-of-a-kind musical that proves "no man is an island, but an island makes a man."

La Vie Boheme!

Jonathan Larson's iconic Pulitzer Prize-winning musical showcases a year in the life of a group of impoverished, artistic friends living in Manhattan's East Village: Aspiring filmmaker Mark, musician Roger, free-spirited Mimi and Angel, buttoned-up Joanne, and wild-child performance artist Maureen. Their dreams, losses, and loves weave through this bohemian portrait of 1980s New York City, under the shadow of HIV and AIDS.
