When it opened it was (and still is) consid­ ered a work of art in itself. It is perceived as a piece of sculpture placed on a podium that one walks around. Indeed, one of the comments often heard is that it is difficult to find the entrance – almost forcing visitors to walk around it to experience the struc­ ture. (Architectural Forum – June 1969.) By 2002, the museum had a long history of water infiltration. Bell & Spina was retained to de­ sign the replacement of the roof­ ing and skylight systems. What we thought would be a rather straightforward project turned into a two­year study to “do the right thing” for this landmark building, the museum, and its collection. This is a case study of the technical exploration to solve a number of waterproofing issues, along with the aesthetic concerns that presented themselves.

Sage Dirk and Carol Sonneborn Martin Yenawine 3 FOREWORD AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Spanning five decades, Juan A. Cruz: A Retrospective presents the work of one of Syracuse’s most beloved artists. Juan Cruz settled in Syracuse in the 1970s and quickly established himself as an important part of the local community. He has designed and painted numerous murals throughout the city, taught hundreds of children and teens how to communicate their ideas through art, and assumed the role of mentor and friend to too many to count. Juan’s art, and very person, are part of the fabric of Syracuse, and it is an honor to be able to share his accomplishments with the world through his exhibition at the Everson Museum of Art.

    Call to Artists Art Quilts XXVI: Stitching Stories Due Date: Monday, September 13 at midnight MST Juror: Ellen M. Blalock Ellen M. Blalock, Bang Bang You Dead (left), quilt, commercial cotton fabric, 2019, 44" x 43” Ellen M. Blalock, Middle Passage: America’s Legacy (right), quilt, hand painted silk and nonwoven pellon on canvas, 2020, 56 ¼” x 52” DESCRIPTION Quilts and storytelling have always complemented one another. Quilts are blanketed in the oral tradition from construction and deconstruction to concept, purpose culture and history. What stories do your quilts tell? Are they family stories? Utilitarian stories? Animal stories? Travel stories? Maybe a concept? Or maybe, “I got mad and cut it all up and sewed it back together” stories? Regardless of whether the narrative lies in the imagery of the quilt, the process in which you made it, or the significance of design or purpose, we want to see your story quilts. Submit your most significant work to this annual exhibition of contemporary art quilts, showcasing some of the finest textile art on display in the Southwestern United States. This exhibition will take place at both the Vision Gallery and the Chandler Center for the Arts. Now in its 26th year, this annual exhibition has grown from a local and regional quilt show to a respected vehicle for contemporary works. The yearly exhibition draws national and international entries and allows hundreds of visitors each year to experience quilting as an art form. ABOUT THE JUROR Ellen M. Blalock started quilting over 20 years ago to replace what was taken from her family.
