graphic that says "On My Own Time OMOT2023" with the CNY Arts logoThe University is pleased to announce the return of its participation in “On My Own Time”—a celebration of local visual arts that highlights the often-unsung artists who create art on their own time.

2023 is the 50th anniversary of this program, organized by CNY Arts, and faculty and staff are invited to showcase their talents along with other employers and businesses in the region.

All eligible artwork submitted will be displayed on campus in the Noble Room in Hendricks Chapel in a special exhibition titled “On My Own Time–Celebrating the Artistic Talents of Syracuse University Faculty and Staff.” The exhibition will run from May 30-June 8.

Faculty and staff are encouraged to support their colleagues by visiting the exhibition and casting a ballot for their favorite piece to win the People’s Choice Award. Also, during the on-campus exhibit, a selection panel of adjudicators—including a CNY Arts representative—will select pieces for an “On My Own Time Grand Finale” exhibition. The finale is a five-week exhibition at the Everson Museum of Art* from Oct. 7-Nov. 11 and will include a reception for artists, University colleagues, family and friends on Oct. 12. Tickets to the finale are available starting in September at onmyowntime.org.
