Pathway of Resistance Walking Tour

We are pleased to announce the return of the Pathway of Resistance walking tour, examining the African-American experience on and along the banks of the Erie Canal, from the waterway’s beginnings to contemporary times. We will present this in-person program on alternating Thursdays and Saturdays at 1 p.m. starting on August 26th. Space is limited, so please try to reserve a space in advance by visiting the Museum's Shop page. You can also call the Museum at (315) 471-0593 or email educator@eriecanalmuseum.org. Walk-ins are welcome as well.
While the legacies of slavery and systemic racism can be uncomfortable to discuss, it is crucial for these issues to be be addressed and to understand how these legacies continue to impact our society today. Because we believe that the issues presented in this tour are extremely important, the program is free of charge. We do, however, encourage a donation of $10 per person.
The tour begins at the corner of Montgomery Street and Erie Boulevard in downtown Syracuse, just outside the Museum garden. Per CDC guidelines, face masks are encouraged but not required for outdoor programs at the Erie Canal Museum. Free parking is available in the lot across from the Museum, under routes 81 and 690. We hope you’ll join us!

Defying Convention: A reading by Poet TERRANCE HAYES

Terrance Hayes is the author of such celebrated books of poems as American Sonnets for My Past and Future Assassin (a National Book Award finalist), How to Be Drawn, and Lighthead (winner of the 2010 National Book Award for Poetry). He has been a recipient of many other honors and awards, including a 2014 MacArthur Foundation Genius Award, two Pushcart selections, eight Best American Poetry selections, and fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship and the Guggenheim Foundation. In a citation for his 2014 Genius Award, the MacArthur Foundation wrote, “Terrance Hayes is a poet who reflects on race, gender, and family in works marked by formal dexterity and a reverence for history and the artistry of crafting verse. Employing an almost improvisational approach to writing, Hayes conjoins fluid, often humorous wordplay with references to popular culture both past and present in his subversion of canonical poetic forms.”

This event is presented as part of the 2021-22 Syracuse Symposium on Conventions from the Syracuse University Humanities Center, in the College of Arts & Sciences.

Pathway of Resistance Walking Tour

We are pleased to announce the return of the Pathway of Resistance walking tour, examining the African-American experience on and along the banks of the Erie Canal, from the waterway’s beginnings to contemporary times. We will present this in-person program on alternating Thursdays and Saturdays at 1 p.m. starting on August 26th. Space is limited, so please try to reserve a space in advance by visiting the Museum's Shop page. You can also call the Museum at (315) 471-0593 or email educator@eriecanalmuseum.org. Walk-ins are welcome as well.
While the legacies of slavery and systemic racism can be uncomfortable to discuss, it is crucial for these issues to be be addressed and to understand how these legacies continue to impact our society today. Because we believe that the issues presented in this tour are extremely important, the program is free of charge. We do, however, encourage a donation of $10 per person.
The tour begins at the corner of Montgomery Street and Erie Boulevard in downtown Syracuse, just outside the Museum garden. Per CDC guidelines, face masks are encouraged but not required for outdoor programs at the Erie Canal Museum. Free parking is available in the lot across from the Museum, under routes 81 and 690. We hope you’ll join us!

This long history seems to have left its impression, and strolling through the building's ornate halls, one can feel the weight of this storied past. Guests will be treated to a historical tour of the weighlock building with behind the scene glimpses along with lore and extraordinary items and experiences from staff and guests. We hope you will visit us for this eerie evening tour!

September 18, 2:30pm

November 18, 7:00pm
Free

Join the Everson Museum for a series of thrilling concerts of newly commissioned musical works relating to AbStranded: Fiber and Abstraction in Contemporary Art, curated by celebrated composer, conductor, and violinist David Fulmer. The concept of “weaving and quilting” is synonymous with Fulmer’s vision of musical architecture; “each note, each gesture, each timbre, and each musical dimension is assembled through a lens that sees and hears a prismatic structure…composers confront their materials, either homogeneous or not, and begin welding musical design together. Each musical layer, each stratosphere represents a texture and sonority – we are constantly weaving a tapestry of sound.” The concerts will feature works for solo violin by Bach, along with four newly commissioned works composed in 2021 by Vasiliki Krimitza, Bahar Royaee, and Alyssa Regent. These works are inspired by, and composed alongside the works in AbStranded. Fulmer will lead the audience on a physical tour of the Museum performing each composition in front of a different work of art.
