Saluti, this exhibition will showcase new and recent artwork from 20 artists working in a wide variety of media including painting, photography, drawing, ceramics, art video and site-specific installations.  A complementary exhibition, “A History of the Future: The New Landscape of Climate Change. Photographs by Susannah Saylor in collaboration with Edward Morris,” will concurrently be on display at the Louise and Bernard Palitz Gallery at the Syracuse University Lubin House in New York City, linking the faculty presentations at both SUArt Galleries’ campus and New York City locations.
