In last Sunday's edition of The Post-Standard was a copy of the new Pulse calendar for Spring 2007. Pictured in the calendar were images of art by William Finch (current show), Christina Hurdlockwood (Blodgett Elementary student, March) and Hope Irvine (May/June).
Pulse has been gracious in their outreach to local arts organizations. They seek to bridge the gap between Syracuse University and the community culture. We applaud their efforts!
Below is an excerpt from the Pulse website.
Pulse: Your Cultural Connection to Campus and the Community
Pulse's mission is to provide SU undergraduates and in turn, the Central New York community with out-of-classroom opportunities to attend and participate in programs, performances, exhibitions, and events in the performing and visual arts. Pulse is a model program, recognized for quality, diversity, innovation, and collaboration, while it celebrates and expands the cultural climate of Syracuse University.
Pulse is a collaborative project of the Division of Student Affairs (under the leadership of Senior Vice President and Dean Barry L. Wells) and the College of Visual and Performing Arts (under the leadership of Dean Carole Brzozowski).

Last Night's Opening Reception: Review and Photos
The Intern's Review: "The Second Day: An Intern's Experience"
My first day interning I was thrown into the process of selecting, hanging and placing art work around the gallery. Then for my second day I was able to attend the January/February show, "The Human Condition." This would be my first "behind-the-scenes" show and I found it absolutely fascinating. I was able to meet all of the artists who had their artwork out and talk with them not only about their art, but art in general and how they fit into the art scene. It was really interesting to be able to not only view the work myself and form my own opinions, but also get different inputs from everyone else who was attending the show. Not to get too far ahead of myself, but I definitly now have a greater sense of how significant art and the people behind them are which makes me more confident of making a lifestyle out of it. All and all, it was a great night.

Syracuse New Times Review
Molly English-Bowers, the Editor-In-Cheif of the Syracuse New Times, stepped foot in Delavan Art Gallery for the first time on Monday morning this week. When asked what it was about this show in particular that appealed to her, Molly replied that she felt "The Human Condition" was a subject she could write about, as opposed to a show of abstracts.
It seems this exhibit is more accessible to a general audience. "Everyone’s reality is different but for one common thread: We are all human beings, subject to affliction, triumph, love, hunger, oppression and death," Molly writes. What does that mean for us? If you know someone who doesn't know much about art but is interested, this would be a good show to bring them to.
Molly's message comes through loud and clear, "...we must consider the day-to-day existence some of our fellow earth-dwellers endure—it’s not all Starbucks, SUVs and cable television. If The Human Condition achieves one goal (although the exhibit’s power is in its multidimensionality), it is for the middle-class, Central New York viewer to rethink how bad they have it."
Two quick corrections...
1. In the paragraph towards the end that starts "And while it may seem that Ryan’s oils don’t quite fit the show’s theme..." the name "Ryan" should actually be "Finch." Stephen Ryan creates watercolors and William Finch creates oils.
2. The website at the end is incorrectly listed as www.delavancenter.com but the gallery's website is actually www.delavanartgallery.com.

...or pick up a copy of the Syracuse New Times now through next Tuesday.
The exhibition "The Human Condition" opens tomorrow with a reception from 5-8 PM. See you there!

It's Scholastics Time...
Well, it's that time of year again and I am posting on this blog for the first time. The Scholastic Art Awards are in town again! I have been fortunate enough to be one of the judges of the students work for three years now. And I do consider myself fortunate to be judging. For those of you who have no idea what the Scholastic Art Awards are, let me fill you in a bit.. For over 60 years CNY has recognized our junior and senior high school art students through Scholastics. Winners on the reginal level can recieve a cash prize, scholarship or have the chance to participate in an exhibition. The top winners on the regional level eventually move on to a national competition with the chance to receive other scholarships and national recognition. (By the way, first place winners are gold keys and second place winners are silver keys).
On the morning of January 9th over 50 individuls participated in the juring of over 5,000 submissions by our local students from Central New York. As a judge for three years now, I look forward to this day with anticipation. All you hear from the judges throughout the day is "a student did this!", "wow these kids are good!" and other "oohs and ahhs".
Last week was the awards ceremony held on January 18th. Numerous students received Gold Key, Silver Key and Honorable mention awards as well as a few special awards. One award in particular is sponsored by Delavan Art Gallery (best painting), which we present to the winner at the awards ceremony. The gallery also received an award from Scholastics for our on-going support called the "Sponsorship Award."
One last thing of note, we are fortuneate to be hosting 20 of the Gold Key Winners here, at the gallery, starting on Thursday, March 8th. Keep an eye open for more information as we get closer.
