The Everson will welcome the community back to the Community Plaza for an evening of fine food, live entertainment, and recognition of the annual Everson Award recipients.
Second Line Syracuse will provide music and entertainment, and all donations made throughout the evening will support an exciting new commissioned artwork which will be revealed at the event.
While the 2020 award recipients were honored in a tribute video last June, they will be recognized and celebrated in person, along with the 2021 Everson awardees at the Picnic. All honorees have devoted their time and energy to supporting the Everson and the arts in our community.
This year’s Picnic also serves as an exclusive preview of the Everson’s major fall exhibition, AbStranded: Fiber and Abstraction in Contemporary Art, which occupies the museum’s four upper galleries and Sculpture Court. Several of the nationally-recognized artists participating in the exhibition will be present at the event. AbStranded will open to the public on Saturday, September 18.
