Off the Rack
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

"Off the Rack" is the happy by-product of a major renovation of the Everson's on-site art storage.

As hundreds of paintings and framed works are displaced from their racks while renovations take place, the public has an unprecedented opportunity to view objects that have been in deep storage for years, never-before-seen recent acquisitions, and some perennial favorites — all hung together salon-style in our exhibition galleries.

This smorgasbord of paintings and works on paper showcases the breadth and depth of the Museum's collections and provides a glimpse into the world of collections management and care.

Cold Read Festival: Undiscovered Country
Syracuse Stage

Archbold Theater, Syracuse Stage
820 E. Genesee St., Syracuse

Undiscovered Country by Festival Playwright-in-Residence Christine Quintana.

A surrealist and poetic look at the end of the Anthropocene, through the eyes of a lonely young woman who wakes up one day to find herself slowly leaving her human form. Evolving backwards (or is it forwards?) her consciousness shifts as she bids farewell to the worries and harms of human life and looks forward to becoming a greater part of a dying — or changing — planet. Inspired by poetry, futurist literature, and life in dismal times, Undiscovered Country is a darkly funny look at the world after us.

Reading will be immediately followed by a talkback with the playwright and director.
