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.

Clay & Be Gay

Join us for an evening of celebration, reflection, and connection. Over the course of the class, artist August Sable will guide participants through the techniques used to throw various open or lidded forms on the pottery wheel. Open to those of all experience levels, this class will provide a chance to create a meaningful memento dish, bowl, or box intended to hold objects or photos that represent each person’s individual queer joy.

Participants will have a chance to use a pottery wheel under the artist’s instruction, as well as time to embellish their pieces with various pottery techniques. August hopes that participants leave feeling connected to their work and restored through community care.

This class is reserved as a safe space for the LGBTQIA+ community to connect and create.
