A Legacy of Firsts: The Everson Collects

In 1911, the Syracuse Museum of Fine Arts (known today as the Everson) made history as the first museum in the country to declare that it would focus on collecting works made by American artists. This decision, implemented by Museum Director Fernando Carter, was the first of many made by directors that ultimately defined the Everson’s collection as it exists today. This exhibition examines over one hundred years of the Museum’s collecting priorities, from the Museum’s earliest acquisitions in 1911 to work acquired in 2019.


2020 Everson Teen Arts Council Exhibition

This exhibition features work made by Central New York high school students and curated by the Everson Teen Council through an open call for entries. Teen Council members collaborated to select a theme, curate works, and write wall text, teaching Council members how museum exhibitions come to life. This exhibition is to be viewed virtually while we are temporarily closed due to Covid-19. Despite the unforeseen challenges and setbacks, our Teen Council remained committed to completing their curatorial project and appreciate the support of the Central New York community. We hope the virtual exhibition allows for greater access to their work and that you will enjoy viewing from the safety of your homes during this time.

Renegades and Reformers: American Art Pottery

Since acquiring its first works by Adelaide Alsop Robineau in 1916, the Everson Museum of Art has built one of the finest collections of art pottery in the world. Renegades and Reformers revolves around two common personality types among potters: the “renegades” who embarked on highly personal artistic quests that pushed clay and glaze to their limits, and the “reformers,” whose modern designs and social attitudes pushed back against Victorian mores.

From Funk to Punk: Left Coast Ceramics

November 11, 2017 – April 15, 2018
From Funk to Punk: Left Coast Ceramics brings together an eclectic group of artists whose varied aesthetic and conceptual styles capture the evolution of ceramics in California, Oregon, and Washington. The exhibition is organized by Peter Held, a longtime curator in the field and acknowledged expert in West Coast ceramics. According to Held, this survey aspires “to track the real and perceived discrepancies between work on opposite coasts of the United States; provide opportunities to experience works by artists who lack broad exposure in the East; and lastly, share his passion for the pioneering and revolutionary artists in the field who challenge prevailing preconceptions stifling the potential of the medium.” Learn more about From Funk to Punk.

Seen and Heard: An Active Commemoration of Women’s Suffrage

June 10 – August 27, 2017
A celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the passage of women’s suffrage in New York State, Seen and Heard explored the use of the arts as a catalyst for social change. Artists have played key roles in social and political movements throughout history, altering the ways in which people view and think about the world. Whether performance, music, or visual, art of any medium has the power to challenge assumptions and inspire passions as nothing else can, and artists harness that power to analyze humanity, initiate tough conversations, protest injustice, and affect emotional and systematic change.

The Creatures Among Us

January 14 – August 13, 2017
Animals have been the subject of art for millennia, beginning with ancient cave paintings made over 35,000 years ago. From scientific renderings of nature’s wondrous creatures to depictions of livestock and beasts of burden, to commemorating our beloved four-legged family members, artists have recorded the many roles animals play in our world. The Creatures Among Us celebrates our enduring fascination with animals by presenting a selection of diverse works—some not seen in years—drawn from the Everson’s collection. Learn more about The Creatures Among Us.

Vanessa German: de.structive dis.tillation

December 23, 2016 – May 7, 2017
Based in the Homewood neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, a community devastated by poverty, Vanessa German creates work in response to her life experiences. German’s work confronts the presence of racism, violence, and brutality. She constructs her work using a wide range of materials: paint, found objects, glitter, tar, and toilet paper - just to name a few.

Installed in three spaces of the Museum, de.structive dis.tillation focuses on the breadth of German’s artistic output. The exhibition demonstrates her interest in spoken word poetry and her ability to sculpt language, as well as objects to create visual rhythm, cadence, and movement. Learn more about Vanessa German: de.structive dis.tillation.
