Members have been an important part of the Everson Museum since its early days as the Syracuse Museum of Fine Arts, dating back to the early twentieth century. Originally, there were only two levels of membership: Annual Members, who paid $10 a year, and Annual Contributing Members, who paid $100 a year. Funds obtained through membership fees supported the Museum’s general operating expenses and helped provide free admission to the Museum for all visitors. Beginning in 1911, the Museum directed a portion of membership dollars towards the newly established Friends of American Art Fund, which was used to purchase artworks for the collection. Read More

2018.49.1_new.jpg

Mara Superior (b. 1951) wields her knowledge of art history and historical decorative traditions to engage with the present day through her porcelain sculptures. Superior references history by using the traditional forms of relief platters, teapots, and other domestic, decorative items, which she decorates with contemporary textual commentary. Explaining her work, Superior has said, “I seek to create beauty through the reinterpretation of historical inspirations synthesized with my own visual vocabulary and contemporary views. The resulting objects are rooted in the historical continuum.” Read More

Edwin Scheier (1910-2008) was born in the Bronx, the youngest son of two German immigrants. To supplement his family’s income, Scheier left school in eighth grade to work as both a delivery boy and as an assembler in a factory. Not content to stay in the Bronx, he hitchhiked across the country multiple times before turning sixteen, working odd jobs as he traveled. While working as a delivery boy at the Blue Kitchen, Scheier met fellow delivery boy Jacob Kainen, who later became a notable printmaker and painter. Through Kainen, Scheier discovered the thriving New York art scene. Read More

Kenneth Dierck (1927-2012) was a printmaker and ceramist born in Tacoma, Washington, known for his whimsical and figural works with a folk style. Nationally and internationally praised for both his lithograph and silkscreen prints, and later for his ceramics and tile work, Dierck did not fully develop his ceramic career until the 1970s. He received both his BA and MFA from University of Washington located in Seattle, Washington, and he completed his post-graduate studies in ceramics through a scholarship with Hal Riegger and Edith Heath at the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, California.
