As the Everson prepares to renovate an incredible new storage area for its ceramics collection with hi-tech space saver technology, the ceramics gallery will serve double duty as Museum staff unpack and sort collection treasures.
To stay flexible and nimble, the ceramics gallery will present Pick & Mix, four small exhibitions centered on art pottery, new acquisitions, and more. Pick & Mix will present a variety of sweet and unexpected treats as the Museum builds toward the future.

Off the Rack
On view June 2-December 31, 2023
Off the Rack is the happy by-product of a major renovation of the Everson's on-site art storage. As hundreds of paintings and framed works are displaced from their racks while renovations take place, the public has an unprecedented opportunity to view objects that have been in deep storage for years, never-before-seen recent acquisitions, and some perennial favorites—all hung together salon-style in our exhibition galleries. This smorgasbord of paintings and works on paper showcases the breadth and depth of the Museum's collections and provides a glimpse into the world of collections management and care.

Doug Muir: Coming Home
On view May 20, 2023 – September 3, 2023
For photographer Doug Muir (1940-2016), Syracuse was always home, even though he moved away in 1967. Muir grew up on Syracuse’s South Side where — as a twelve year-old — he embarked on a lifelong passion for capturing moments of daily life.
His early snapshots of places and people familiar to him evolved into sophisticated and compelling photographs that documented a changing America while speaking to a fundamental humanity shared by all. Spanning more than thirty years, Doug Muir: Coming Home surveys Muir’s journey as a keen observer of humankind, from his beginnings in Central New York to his adopted home on the West Coast where he made his living as a steamfitter.
Although Muir photographed places all over the country throughout his lifetime, Syracuse remained his touchstone and he returned countless times to visit family and friends and reconnect with the source that gave his works such poignancy. Doug Muir: Coming Home marks a final return for the artist to his hometown, a place his heart never left.

Documents from the Closet: Collage Workshop
Working together with exhibiting artist Ryan Patrick Krueger, you will develop your own unique assemblages, working from vintage yearbooks, magazines, and photographs. We will collectively learn to develop new meaning from old imagery to reveal new narratives. You can bring a selection of your own archival pictures from sources such as family albums or old books, or work with the printed material provided such as magazines, yearbooks, and photographs.
Note: You should select material that you do not mind cutting, pasting and collaging. All assemblages will be created on an 11x14 wood panel for you to take home with you.
Open to folks with any experience level – this class is reserved as a safe space for the LGBTQ+ community to connect and create together.
