Karolina Wojtas: Made in Poland Light Work Gallery
Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Made in Poland, Karolina Wojtas' first U.S. solo exhibition, unfolds like a care package sent to America — one filled with the absurd, the folkish, and the wonderfully weird cultural treasures of Poland. The exhibition features a dynamic mix of fabric prints, soft sculptures, and traditional photographs that play with form while drawing on everyday observations, childhood memories, and the oddities of growing up. Wojtas' project becomes a journey through education, family relationships, and first loves—infused throughout with nostalgia, humor, and a generous dose of self-irony.

Possible Worlds: 20 Years of the Wynn Newhouse Awards Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
This landmark exhibition marks the 20th anniversary of the Wynn Newhouse Award, a pioneering initiative that has recognized and elevated artists of excellence who happen to live with disabilities. Established in 2006 by Wynn Newhouse, the award has championed bold, boundary-defying voices in contemporary art — highlighting practices that are as varied in form as they are unified in vision: a vision of art as a space where representation, identity, and access are not peripheral concerns, but central to the discourse. At the heart of the exhibition is a curatorial inquiry: How do artists with disabilities navigate the art world, and the world at large, on their terms? And how does that navigation inform their work, influence its reception, and expand the field of cultural production? The goal is not to position disability as a central or singular theme, but to acknowledge it as one of many intersecting conditions that inform artistic practice. In doing so, this exhibition prompts us to reconsider who gets seen, whose experiences shape the canon, and how institutions can create more equitable conditions for artistic participation and recognition. Exhibiting artists include Beverly Baker, Derrick Alexis Coard, Courttney Cooper, Joseph Grigley, Em Kettner, Reverend Joyce McDonald, William Scott, Kambel Smith, Katz Tepper, Melvin Way, and Peter Williams.

Laurent Craste: Iconoclasts Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
"Iconoclasts" marks the American museum debut for French-born Canadian ceramist Laurent Craste. Over the past decade, Craste has committed a wide range of indignities and abuse against his ornate vases and urns, including pummeling them with baseball bats and crowbars and piercing them with arrows. Despite the violence that runs through his work, Craste has a great passion for historical porcelain. Working with porcelain allows Craste to explore the prestige and power of upper-class society, but also inequality and the strain that is placed on working people. The anthropomorphic nature of Craste's vases echoes the human body, making it no surprise that people feel strong emotions when seeing a helpless vase struck by a baseball bat. Triggering these strong emotions in his audience allows Craste to connect on a deeper level as he asks questions about class, money, and power.

Lessons in Geometry Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Artists have obsessed over the relationship between mathematics and art for millennia. As artists turned toward abstraction in the early 20th century, Europeans like Piet Mondrian used geometry to create a set of rules and parameters that guided their creative process. Meanwhile, American artists began developing their own styles and movements—particularly Abstract Expressionism, which was typified by bold, quickly executed brushwork, drips, and splashes. In the mid-20th century in the United States, artists laid the groundwork for Geometric Abstraction as a more cerebral alternative to the often macho flamboyance of Abstract Expressionism. Over the ensuing decades, artists used geometry to produce abstract works that ranged from the dazzling Op Art of Victor Vasarely to the restrained Minimalism of Sol LeWitt. "Lessons in Geometry" traces the evolution of hard-edged abstraction in the United States as artists sought to use pure geometric forms to create works with balance, harmony, and order. For these artists, shape, line, and color took precedence over representational compositions. The Everson's collection reflects the wildly varied ways that artists have used geometry to serve their personal expression, from the analytical formulations of Robert Swain to the shaped canvases of Harmony Hammond and the spatial illusions of Tony King.

Joyce Kozloff: Contested Territories, 1983-2023 Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
For more than four decades, Joyce Kozloff has explored how the entanglements of geography, history, and power influence the visual language of maps. "Contested Territories" presents a selection of Kozloff's works that uncover how maps shape our understanding of the world—not as neutral tools, but as instruments of influence, ideology, and control. Kozloff's wide range of sources include historical maps, classroom wall maps, atlases, globes, and even satellite imagery from Google Maps. Her dense and colorful works often layer these materials with hand-painted details, collage, and intricate ornamentation. By combining sources that span centuries—from Renaissance celestial charts to contemporary digital mapping—she exposes how maps carry the legacies of empire, conflict, and shifting territorial claims. A founding figure in the Pattern and Decoration movement, Kozloff combines meticulous craftsmanship with political critique. Her works are labor-intensive, involving the detailed process of painting, drawing, and collaging over cartographic surfaces. The resulting richly textured visual field invites viewers to look closely—and to question the conquest, division, and erasure found beneath the official surface narrative. Whether reimagining educational globes or deconstructing colonial-era charts, Kozloff transforms maps from static documents into contested, dynamic spaces. Her work encourages viewers to reconsider how borders are drawn as well as how art can reclaim such boundaries as sites of resistance, memory, and possibility.

820 E. Genesee St.,

A knockout new play about loyalty and legacy. Monique Jeffries was poised to be one of the greatest professional boxers in history, but years after her career has ended, she is right back where she started: running Bailey's, her childhood gym, training finance bros with delusions of grandeur, and taking directions from her former coach Johnny. As the Golden Gloves amateur tournament approaches, Monique receives a surprising offer from one of her "white collar" boxing clients: he wants to buy Bailey's and convert it into an elite boxing facility, where they can train the best of the best and revitalize the flagging sport. But Johnny isn't about to let that happen, and the ensuing bout between teacher and student is as intimate as it is brutal in this bare-knuckled world premiere.

Hair Baldwinsville Theatre Guild Adam Shatraw, director
Price: $40 Hosmer Auditorium, Everson Museum
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Step back into the "Age of Aquarius" with a tribe of bohemians living in New York City, navigating the complexities of young love, sexual revolution and rebellion against the Vietnam War. Hair is a rock musical featuring a book and lyrics by Gerome Ragni and James Rado, with music composed by Galt MacDermot. This work captures the creators' reflections on the hippie counterculture and the sexual revolution prevalent in the late 1960s, with many songs becoming anthems for the anti-Vietnam War movement. Hair revolves around the "tribe," a group of politically active, long-haired hippies from the "Age of Aquarius" who lead a bohemian lifestyle in New York City while protesting conscription into the Vietnam War. The central characters — Claude, his friend Berger, their roommate Sheila, and their companions — navigate the complexities of young love and the sexual revolution while rebelling against the war and their conservative parents and society. Ultimately, Claude faces a crucial decision: whether to resist the draft, like his friends, or serve in Vietnam, risking his life and compromising his pacifist beliefs.

820 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
A knockout new play about loyalty and legacy. Monique Jeffries was poised to be one of the greatest professional boxers in history, but years after her career has ended, she is right back where she started: running Bailey's, her childhood gym, training finance bros with delusions of grandeur, and taking directions from her former coach Johnny. As the Golden Gloves amateur tournament approaches, Monique receives a surprising offer from one of her "white collar" boxing clients: he wants to buy Bailey's and convert it into an elite boxing facility, where they can train the best of the best and revitalize the flagging sport. But Johnny isn't about to let that happen, and the ensuing bout between teacher and student is as intimate as it is brutal in this bare-knuckled world premiere.

Karolina Wojtas: Made in Poland Light Work Gallery
Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Made in Poland, Karolina Wojtas' first U.S. solo exhibition, unfolds like a care package sent to America — one filled with the absurd, the folkish, and the wonderfully weird cultural treasures of Poland. The exhibition features a dynamic mix of fabric prints, soft sculptures, and traditional photographs that play with form while drawing on everyday observations, childhood memories, and the oddities of growing up. Wojtas' project becomes a journey through education, family relationships, and first loves—infused throughout with nostalgia, humor, and a generous dose of self-irony.

Possible Worlds: 20 Years of the Wynn Newhouse Awards Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
This landmark exhibition marks the 20th anniversary of the Wynn Newhouse Award, a pioneering initiative that has recognized and elevated artists of excellence who happen to live with disabilities. Established in 2006 by Wynn Newhouse, the award has championed bold, boundary-defying voices in contemporary art — highlighting practices that are as varied in form as they are unified in vision: a vision of art as a space where representation, identity, and access are not peripheral concerns, but central to the discourse. At the heart of the exhibition is a curatorial inquiry: How do artists with disabilities navigate the art world, and the world at large, on their terms? And how does that navigation inform their work, influence its reception, and expand the field of cultural production? The goal is not to position disability as a central or singular theme, but to acknowledge it as one of many intersecting conditions that inform artistic practice. In doing so, this exhibition prompts us to reconsider who gets seen, whose experiences shape the canon, and how institutions can create more equitable conditions for artistic participation and recognition. Exhibiting artists include Beverly Baker, Derrick Alexis Coard, Courttney Cooper, Joseph Grigley, Em Kettner, Reverend Joyce McDonald, William Scott, Kambel Smith, Katz Tepper, Melvin Way, and Peter Williams.

Laurent Craste: Iconoclasts Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
"Iconoclasts" marks the American museum debut for French-born Canadian ceramist Laurent Craste. Over the past decade, Craste has committed a wide range of indignities and abuse against his ornate vases and urns, including pummeling them with baseball bats and crowbars and piercing them with arrows. Despite the violence that runs through his work, Craste has a great passion for historical porcelain. Working with porcelain allows Craste to explore the prestige and power of upper-class society, but also inequality and the strain that is placed on working people. The anthropomorphic nature of Craste's vases echoes the human body, making it no surprise that people feel strong emotions when seeing a helpless vase struck by a baseball bat. Triggering these strong emotions in his audience allows Craste to connect on a deeper level as he asks questions about class, money, and power.

Lessons in Geometry Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Artists have obsessed over the relationship between mathematics and art for millennia. As artists turned toward abstraction in the early 20th century, Europeans like Piet Mondrian used geometry to create a set of rules and parameters that guided their creative process. Meanwhile, American artists began developing their own styles and movements—particularly Abstract Expressionism, which was typified by bold, quickly executed brushwork, drips, and splashes. In the mid-20th century in the United States, artists laid the groundwork for Geometric Abstraction as a more cerebral alternative to the often macho flamboyance of Abstract Expressionism. Over the ensuing decades, artists used geometry to produce abstract works that ranged from the dazzling Op Art of Victor Vasarely to the restrained Minimalism of Sol LeWitt. "Lessons in Geometry" traces the evolution of hard-edged abstraction in the United States as artists sought to use pure geometric forms to create works with balance, harmony, and order. For these artists, shape, line, and color took precedence over representational compositions. The Everson's collection reflects the wildly varied ways that artists have used geometry to serve their personal expression, from the analytical formulations of Robert Swain to the shaped canvases of Harmony Hammond and the spatial illusions of Tony King.

Joyce Kozloff: Contested Territories, 1983-2023 Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
For more than four decades, Joyce Kozloff has explored how the entanglements of geography, history, and power influence the visual language of maps. "Contested Territories" presents a selection of Kozloff's works that uncover how maps shape our understanding of the world—not as neutral tools, but as instruments of influence, ideology, and control. Kozloff's wide range of sources include historical maps, classroom wall maps, atlases, globes, and even satellite imagery from Google Maps. Her dense and colorful works often layer these materials with hand-painted details, collage, and intricate ornamentation. By combining sources that span centuries—from Renaissance celestial charts to contemporary digital mapping—she exposes how maps carry the legacies of empire, conflict, and shifting territorial claims. A founding figure in the Pattern and Decoration movement, Kozloff combines meticulous craftsmanship with political critique. Her works are labor-intensive, involving the detailed process of painting, drawing, and collaging over cartographic surfaces. The resulting richly textured visual field invites viewers to look closely—and to question the conquest, division, and erasure found beneath the official surface narrative. Whether reimagining educational globes or deconstructing colonial-era charts, Kozloff transforms maps from static documents into contested, dynamic spaces. Her work encourages viewers to reconsider how borders are drawn as well as how art can reclaim such boundaries as sites of resistance, memory, and possibility.

Newberry & Verch Folkus Project
Price: $20 regular, $17 Folkus members May Memorial Unitarian Society
3800 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
Newberry and Verch, a pair brought together by a shared connection to their individual traditions of home, fuse their musical roots from the Missouri Ozarks and the Ottawa Valley of Canada to create a signature sound, and in doing so, they bring a bit of home with them wherever they go. Joe Newberry (guitar/vocals) has never been a stranger to the joys of music. Surrounded by a musical family and guidance from great Missouri fiddlers, he was strumming on the guitar and banjo at a young age. He is now a "powerful guitarist and singer-songwriter" with International Bluegrass Music Awards and features with Transatlantic Sessions. April Verch's (fiddle/vocals) early exposure to music is no different. She grew up in a musical environment, listening to country music played by her father and his gigging band. By age three, she was already dancing, and at six years old, her fiddling journey began. She went on to become the first woman to win major fiddling competitions in Canada and also formed The April Verch Band, which toured and performed for audiences around the world. Together, Newberry & Verch travel the world to perform on tour and at festivals, such as The Celtic Colours International Festival in Nova Scotia, where they have left crowds with warm hearts and high spirits.

Hair Baldwinsville Theatre Guild Adam Shatraw, director
Price: $40 Hosmer Auditorium, Everson Museum
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Step back into the "Age of Aquarius" with a tribe of bohemians living in New York City, navigating the complexities of young love, sexual revolution and rebellion against the Vietnam War. Hair is a rock musical featuring a book and lyrics by Gerome Ragni and James Rado, with music composed by Galt MacDermot. This work captures the creators' reflections on the hippie counterculture and the sexual revolution prevalent in the late 1960s, with many songs becoming anthems for the anti-Vietnam War movement. Hair revolves around the "tribe," a group of politically active, long-haired hippies from the "Age of Aquarius" who lead a bohemian lifestyle in New York City while protesting conscription into the Vietnam War. The central characters — Claude, his friend Berger, their roommate Sheila, and their companions — navigate the complexities of young love and the sexual revolution while rebelling against the war and their conservative parents and society. Ultimately, Claude faces a crucial decision: whether to resist the draft, like his friends, or serve in Vietnam, risking his life and compromising his pacifist beliefs.

"Contested Territories" presents a selection of Kozloff's works that uncover how maps shape our understanding of the world—not as neutral tools, but as instruments of influence, ideology, and control. Kozloff's wide range of sources include historical maps, classroom wall maps, atlases, globes, and even satellite imagery from Google Maps.

By combining sources that span centuries—from Renaissance celestial charts to contemporary digital mapping—she exposes how maps carry the legacies of empire, conflict, and shifting territorial claims. A founding figure in the Pattern and Decoration movement, Kozloff combines meticulous craftsmanship with political critique. Her works are labor-intensive, involving the detailed process of painting, drawing, and collaging over cartographic surfaces. The resulting richly textured visual field invites viewers to look closely—and to question the conquest, division, and erasure found beneath the official surface narrative. Whether reimagining educational globes or deconstructing colonial-era charts, Kozloff transforms maps from static documents into contested, dynamic spaces. Her work encourages viewers to reconsider how borders are drawn as well as how art can reclaim such boundaries as sites of resistance, memory, and possibility.

The goal is not to position disability as a central or singular theme, but to acknowledge it as one of many intersecting conditions that inform artistic practice. In doing so, this exhibition prompts us to reconsider who gets seen, whose experiences shape the canon, and how institutions can create more equitable conditions for artistic participation and recognition. Exhibiting artists include Beverly Baker, Derrick Alexis Coard, Courttney Cooper, Joseph Grigley, Em Kettner, Reverend Joyce McDonald, William Scott, Kambel Smith, Katz Tepper, Melvin Way, and Peter Williams.

Hair Baldwinsville Theatre Guild Adam Shatraw, director
Price: $40 Hosmer Auditorium, Everson Museum
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Step back into the "Age of Aquarius" with a tribe of bohemians living in New York City, navigating the complexities of young love, sexual revolution and rebellion against the Vietnam War. Hair is a rock musical featuring a book and lyrics by Gerome Ragni and James Rado, with music composed by Galt MacDermot. This work captures the creators' reflections on the hippie counterculture and the sexual revolution prevalent in the late 1960s, with many songs becoming anthems for the anti-Vietnam War movement. Hair revolves around the "tribe," a group of politically active, long-haired hippies from the "Age of Aquarius" who lead a bohemian lifestyle in New York City while protesting conscription into the Vietnam War. The central characters — Claude, his friend Berger, their roommate Sheila, and their companions — navigate the complexities of young love and the sexual revolution while rebelling against the war and their conservative parents and society. Ultimately, Claude faces a crucial decision: whether to resist the draft, like his friends, or serve in Vietnam, risking his life and compromising his pacifist beliefs.

Relentless Syracuse Stage Melissa Crespo, director
Archbold Theater, Syracuse Stage
820 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
A knockout new play about loyalty and legacy. Monique Jeffries was poised to be one of the greatest professional boxers in history, but years after her career has ended, she is right back where she started: running Bailey's, her childhood gym, training finance bros with delusions of grandeur, and taking directions from her former coach Johnny. As the Golden Gloves amateur tournament approaches, Monique receives a surprising offer from one of her "white collar" boxing clients: he wants to buy Bailey's and convert it into an elite boxing facility, where they can train the best of the best and revitalize the flagging sport. But Johnny isn't about to let that happen, and the ensuing bout between teacher and student is as intimate as it is brutal in this bare-knuckled world premiere.

Karolina Wojtas: Made in Poland Light Work Gallery
Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Made in Poland, Karolina Wojtas' first U.S. solo exhibition, unfolds like a care package sent to America — one filled with the absurd, the folkish, and the wonderfully weird cultural treasures of Poland. The exhibition features a dynamic mix of fabric prints, soft sculptures, and traditional photographs that play with form while drawing on everyday observations, childhood memories, and the oddities of growing up. Wojtas' project becomes a journey through education, family relationships, and first loves—infused throughout with nostalgia, humor, and a generous dose of self-irony.
