Enhance your Orange Central experience by exploring Syracuse University’s extensive art collection in the newly renovated Open Storage spaces at SUArt Galleries, where additional permanent collection pieces are on display. Additional pieces will be on view in the newly designed Gallery of American Art including, “City Views: American Art and the Urban Image,” an exhibition that explores artists’ reactions to the growth of cities in 20th-century America.
The art Orange Central agenda kicks off with gallery talks on Thursday, Oct. 14, from 5-7 p.m., when guests can join co-curators of the exhibition “Four x Four: Community Curators and the Syracuse University Art Collection.” The trio—former SU lacrosse coach Roy Simmons Jr., Community Folk Art Director Kheli Willetts, and journalist Nancy Keefe Rhodes—will discuss why they chose specific pieces in their exhibition. An alumni tour will be held Friday, Oct. 15, at 1 p.m.
On Sunday, individuals can participate in the second annual Cantus Novus concert at 2 p.m. in the SUArt Galleries. The event is free and is open to the public.
