At the Everson

  • 315Mom and the Everson Museum of Art are teaming up to celebrate creativity in Central New York! The Young Artist Showcase features artworks by kids ages 4-18 selected by a panel of Everson Museum of Art staff based on creativity, originality, and use of materials....

  • Tal Placido is a multidisciplinary artist, currently working at the intersection of painting, material research, and cultural memory. Placido’s large-scale abstract paintings draw from personal myth, intuitive process, and historical research. With a background in music, fashion, and design, Placido brings a multi-dimensional sensibility to her visual work, shaped by both instinct and inquiry....

  • Visually sumptuous and incisively satirical, Federico Solmi’s multimedia works expose the excesses and contradictions of power across history and contemporary culture. Adrift presents new and recent "video paintings" alongside the monumental canvas The Ship of Fools, which reimagines Théodore Géricault’s Raft of the Medusa (1818–19) through Solmi’s irreverent visual language....

  • Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to touch history through Adelaide Alsop Robineau’s delicately carved Scarab Vase? Thanks to the ingenuity of Budmen Industries, a 3D printed replica is now displayed next to the original masterpiece, for visitors to experience hands-on....

  • Consequences of being brings together large-format paintings, works on paper, and— for the first time in Deborah Roberts’ career—ceramic sculpture. The exhibition marks a significant expansion of the Austin, Texas–based artist’s practice and a deepening investigation into the histories and legacies of colonialism. Roberts, who received her MFA from Syracuse University, uses collage to approach identity as something fragmented and continually reconstructed, reclaiming found materials and images to examine how Black bodies are seen, positioned, and understood globally....

  • By giving readers vivid images of industrial strength, women and the family, race relations, World War II, labor, and the Cold War, the photographers in this exhibition contributed to this view of the United States as a global player seeking its identity on the world stage. Six pioneering female photographers were among those who contributed to LIFE’s pursuit of this American character: Margaret Bourke-White, Marie Hansen, Martha Holmes, Lisa Larsen, Nina Leen, and Hansel Mieth....

  • 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....
