Syracuse, N.Y.– Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh announced a road reconstruction project on Butternut Street beginning Saturday, July 20. Crews will mill and pave Butternut Street from Lodi to North Salina Street. Work is expected from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. with traffic reduced to one lane during milling. Sidewalks will remain open for pedestrians. Drivers are advised to use alternate routes if possible; detours will be in place. The milling portion of the project is expected to be completed in about one week; actual project timeframe is contingent on favorable weather.
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.
