Celebrate Art and History
Join us for an engaging gallery talk and reception celebrating the work of the 2024 Erie Canal Artists-in-Residence—Alon Koppel, Judit German-Heins, and Clara Riedlinger. This special event accompanies At Water’s Edge: Reflections on 200 Years of the Erie Canal, offering an opportunity to hear directly from the artists as they share their creative process and reflect on their year-long exploration of the Erie Canal’s history, landscape, and cultural influence.
The gallery talk begins at 1:00 PM, followed by a reception where guests can connect with the artists and fellow attendees over light refreshments.
This event is free for Everson Museum and Erie Canal Museum members and included with general museum admission for all others.
The At Water’s Edge exhibition highlights the Erie Canal’s enduring relevance, blending history with contemporary perspectives. Through photography, the artists reveal how this historic waterway continues to shape our environment and cultural identity.
At Water’s Edge was organized by the Erie Canal Museum, Syracuse, New York. The Artist-in-Residence program was created through a partnership between the New York State Canal Corporation and the Erie Canal Museum in Syracuse.
The Everson is supported by the Dorothy and Marshall M. Reisman Foundation; the General Operating Support program, a regrant program of the County of Onondaga with the support of County Executive, J. Ryan McMahon II, and the Onondaga County Legislature, administered by CNY Arts; and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
