Only a few days left to experience Amy Lincoln's tranquil landscape and seascape paintings✨

Lincoln begins most of her paintings with three colors mixed with white to establish a color system unique to each work. She then blends layers of paint, creating surfaces that appear to glow from within. Lincoln's paintings in "Fractured Light" capture the feeling of light moving across a landscape through gradual tonal transitions, geometric precision, and symmetry.

In a world saturated with rapidly changing high-definition images, Lincoln’s work offers us an alternative that encourages close looking and deep engagement with color, light, and form.

📍"Amy Lincoln: Fractured Light" is on view through September 6, 2026

The before-and-after of Stanley Boxer's experimental ceramic following a much-needed conservation treatment✨

Thank you to our wonderful conservator Kasia Maroney and the Greater Hudson Herritage Network for making this project possible!

Boxer's ceramic work is featured in "New Works in Clay," a 50th celebration of the landmark 1976 exhibition "New Works in Clay by Contemporary Painters and Sculptors," that brought well-known painters and sculptors together in Syracuse to produce a body of works in ceramics.

The exhibition, on view at the Everson until January 3, 2027, explores how the Everson broke down barriers between art and craft and set the stage for the current ceramic renaissance in the art world.

Join CNY Artist Initiative featured artist Rich Harrington for a gallery talk to learn more about his work and special exhibition, "Fissure"✨⁠
⁠
For many people, personal identity flows naturally from their families, the objects they grew up with, and the physical place they are rooted in. ⁠
⁠
These small puzzle pieces connect to construct one’s personality and sense of self. For others, notions of self and identity are more fluid and mysterious—a sum total that is somehow different from its constituent parts. ⁠
⁠
Harrington has spent his career grappling with his own identity and how popular culture has shaped it.⁠

"Rich Harrington: Fissure" is now open! ✨

In "Fissure," Rich Harrington digs into his early life experiences by constructing physical and metaphorical spaces to understand his own developing identity and his search for place within the family structure and society.

The artist revisits preconceived notions of gender roles and the popular culture that reinforces them. By appropriating imagery and text that once affirmed conventional ideas of gender, Harrington disrupts their original context, creating a conceptual fissure: a space where the dominant narrative fractures and overlooked, suppressed, or alternative narratives emerge.

The fissures encourage viewers to question inherited assumptions and reconsider the cultural narratives that shape identity.

📍On view through October 25, 2026

A closer look at the conservation efforts behind "New Works in Clay"👀✨

Our object conservator, Kasia Maroney, has treated several ceramics featured in the exhibition, including this experimental ceramic work by abstract expressionist Helen Frankenthaler.

The goal of the treatment was to stabilize the work—sealing firing cracks that occurred during its manufacture and consolidating the flaking engobe wash on the surface.

As Kasia explains, the treatment is meant to "trick the eye." Once a work has the stability and protection it needs, it should appear as though it has never been touched.

Thank you to the Greater Hudson Heritage Network for making this project possible!

⁠
Inspired by modern sculptors Barbara Hepworth and Henry Moore, this workshop explores how simplified organic forms can express movement, balance, and emotion.⁠
