“After a court ruling from the Appellate Division, we can now definitively say that the I-81 Viaduct – which has literally divided the City of Syracuse for decades – is coming down. This favorable resolution of the State Department of Transportation’s appeal allows the entire project to move ahead as scheduled, including the eventual demolition of the Viaduct. There’s more work to do to reunite and reconnect communities in Syracuse and today’s decision is a landmark step in the right direction.”
Portrait Workshop with Sofía Luz Pérez and Cayetano Valenzuela
Portrait Workshop with Sofía Luz Pérez and Cayetano Valenzuela
Join us for a two-part workshop with exhibiting artist Sofía Luz Pérez and Syracuse artist Cayetano Valenzuela. In this workshop, Cayetano Valenzuela and Sofía Luz Pérez will share their own practices and processes in making a portrait/self-portrait and ask participants to create a portrait or self-portrait. The emphasis of the portrait should be on identity and cultural background/ancestry, but they encourage everyone to delve into any part of themselves or the person they are drawn to portraying. This is a free workshop with limited space available. We ask that you attend both sessions. Art supplies will be provided and you are welcome to also bring your own.
