They say good food is just another expression of art. We think so too! That’s why the Everson Museum of Art is thrilled to present Salt & Pepper, an art/food series with lively conversations between a chef preparing their meal, and an artist working on their craft! The artists and chefs will discuss the culture, history, and technique’s inherent within their given creative practices. The chef will also provide samples of their dishes to purchase so you can engage with this program through another sense: taste!

March 16: Mamma Hai’s& TBD

May 18: Habiba’s Ethiopian Kitchen & Artist David Macdonald

July 20: Cake Bar & Artist Ellen Blalock

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.

Frank Buffalo Hyde: Native Americana

On view June 10 – September 10, 2023

Painter Frank Buffalo Hyde grew up in the Onondaga Nation, where he absorbed much of the pop culture that is still central to his worldview. Throughout his career, Buffalo Hyde has presented “pop” iconography like UFOs, hamburgers, and corporate logos in parallel with Native symbology like the Bison on the Onondaga reservation and Indigenous leaders and dancers.

Buffalo Hyde’s works grab attention through their bright colors instantly recognizable iconography but resist easy stereotyping through their embedded messages about the fragmented nature of Native life.

Native Americana is a homecoming for Buffalo Hyde, who left Central New York for New Mexico, where he studied at the Santa Fe Fine Arts Institute and the Institute of American Indian Arts. Frank Buffalo Hyde lives in Northfield, Minnesota. His work can be found in the collections of the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian, the Hood Museum of Art, the Gilcrease Museum, the Peabody Essex Museum, and of course, the Everson Museum of Art.

In addition to large-format paintings, Native Americana will include a variety of interactive and mixed-media installations throughout the Museum.
