Light Work Gallery

Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University, Syracuse

With enormous pleasure, we present the 50th Annual Light Work Grants in Photography. The 2025 recipients are Sarah Knobel (St. Lawrence), Joe Librandi-Cowan (Onondaga County), and Lida Suchy (Onondaga County). The two runners-up are Marna Bell (Onondaga County) and Adrian Francis (Onondaga County).

This year's judge was Marina Chao (a curator at CPW in Kingston, NY), who writes: "From an unexpected approach to plastic waste to portraits of Ukrainian civic leaders to an exploration of home, family, and memory, this year's grantees address subjects that are intimate and personal, urgent and political, in innovative, collaborative, and deeply felt ways."

The Light Work Grants are part of our ongoing effort to support and encourage Central New York artists working in photography and related mediums within a 50-mile radius of Syracuse. Established in 1975, the Light Work Grants are among the oldest photography fellowships in the country.

Off the Rack
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

"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.

Sunday in the Park with George
Central New York Playhouse
Erica Moser, director

Atonement Lutheran Church
116 W. Glen Ave., Syracuse

The days leading up to the completion of his most famous painting, "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte," Georges Seurat is struggling to make meaningful art and maintain a relationship with his lover, Dot. Amid the scorn of the artistic community, Seurat's artistic ability thrives while his love diminishes. A century later, Seurat's descendant – named George and also an artist – finds himself burnt out and in search of what artistic path to follow, but he finds the answer to his future in the past.
