TR Ericsson uses the story of his mother to present a searing, soft, and complex portrait of post-industrial life in America. "I Was Born To Bring You Into This World" begins as an intimate encounter with an artist’s family archive and becomes a potent opportunity to reflect and scrutinize the trials and tribulations of our own lives.

Based in Los Angeles, Suné Woods works in multi-channel video installations, photography, and collage. Presenting intimate vignettes of couples or solitary actions of individuals in two video installations, When a heart scatter, scatter, scatter is a vulnerable exploration of desire, forgiveness, and resilience.

The Everson’s expansive exhibition spaces, designed by I.M. Pei, allow the Museum to acquire and display monumentally sized artwork. With this opportunity comes the unique challenges of caring for and exhibiting oversized work.

That Day Now centers around a special visit to Syracuse by Keiko Ogura, a survivor of the nuclear attack on Hiroshima in 1945 and the official a-bomb storyteller for the city. The exhibition examines today’s relevance of the atomic attack on Hiroshima and combines material dating from 1945 drawn from the Everson, Syracuse University Art Galleries, and Syracuse University Special Collections.

A new exhibition series at the Everson, FOCUS presents a few selected works from the Museum’s collection in order to spark dialogue about how objects relate to one another across time, medium, and subject matter. For its first iteration, Adelaide Alsop Robineau’s Cinerary Urn is paired with 19th century paintings.

Coordinated by ARISE, a non-profit agency based in Syracuse, UNIQUE celebrates the artistic talents of Central New Yorkers living with disabilities. The works included in this exhibition eloquently speak to the myriad thoughts, ideas, and feelings that all humans share, regardless of individual ability or circumstance.

The first exhibition in the Everson’s new ceramics gallery, A Century of Collecting celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Museum’s first purchase of ceramics for the permanent collection in 1916. From that initial purchase of 32 works by distinguished Arts & Crafts potter Adelaide Alsop Robineau, the Everson has amassed a premier collection of more than 5000 ceramic pieces, dating from ancient times to the present day.

The Haudenosaunee, a name referring to the alliance of the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca, and Tuscarora Nations, have rich artistic traditions. This exhibition features the work of five contemporary Haudenosaunee artists represented in the Everson’s collection—Tom Huff, Ada Jacques, Peter B. Jones, Tammy Tarbell-Boehning, and Steve Smith—all of whom draw upon their cultural heritage and blend traditional artistic methods with modern techniques.

In partnership with Syracuse University’s Connective Corridor, the Everson Museum of Art is excited to present the Tree of 40 Fruit, part of an ongoing series of hybridized fruit trees by contemporary artist Sam Van Aken. Each unique tree grows over forty different types of stone fruit including peaches, plums, apricots, nectarines, cherries, and almonds.

Inaugurated in 1932 at the Everson, the Ceramic National juried exhibitions helped shape the course of ceramic history and launched the careers of many notable ceramic artists.
