The Merchant of Venice opens the 21st summer season of free Shakespeare-In-The-Park at Thornden Park's Amphitheatre: June 2, 3, 9, and 10 @ 5:30 p.m. and June 4 and 11 at 2 pm.

We are delighted to introduce a new program called “Talking Space,” a Sculpture Space series of cultural conversations that will offer stimulating discussions on various sculptural topics. These conversations will occur regularly but with a touch of delightful spontaneity, ensuring a fresh and dynamic experience for participants. Questions and dialog are key.

Our inaugural conversation is set to take place on June 6, featuring two esteemed guests: visiting artist Shasti O’Leary Soudant and Colgate Professor Emeritus John Knecht. Together, they will delve into the fascinating subject of how our cultural relationship with materiality has evolved. Prepare to be captivated as they explore the intersections of art, culture, and the tangible world.

This inaugural event sets the stage for future conversations that promise to expand our understanding and appreciation of sculpture in its many forms. We invite you to mark your calendars and join us on June 6 for an enlightening and thought-provoking evening of exploration and discovery.

This is a ticketed event and Seating is limited. We are asking for any level of donation. The more we raise with this program, the more programming we will be able to provide.

Any level of donation will help Sculpture Space continue its mission to provide artists with time and resources to fully explore their creative potential and to share their work with the community through exhibitions, lectures, and educational outreach.

Lorenzo State Historic Site is the 1807 Federal-style home of John Lincklaen, Holland Land Company agent and founder of Cazenovia. It was continually occupied by family until the property and contents were conveyed to New York State in 1968. The imprint of Lorenzo’s residents, including the enslaved people, servants, and many employees required to run the estate, can be found at every turn. Visitors to Lorenzo enjoy guided tours of the Mansion furnished with 160 years of original furnishings. Explore the Visitor Center for the history of Cazenovia, the building of Lorenzo, and an amazing carriage and sleigh display. Visit the museum shop for a unique selection of Lorenzo merchandise, books, and gift items. The grounds are open daily, year-round, from dawn until dusk to stroll through the Ellen Shipman-designed formal garden and Dark Aisle Arboretum or hike the connective trail through the 87-acre site.

Three local artists, Christine Chin of Ithaca and Anita Welych & Carrie Drake of Syracuse explore the natural environment and the consequences of climate change through their art.

Christine uses NOAA data to create her Stuffed Storms fabric sculptures, which are a visual record of the Atlantic Tropical Storm seasons. Her work also explores local impacts through her Invasive Species Cyanotypes using a camera-less photographic printing process dating back to the 1840s to document invasive species in the Finger Lakes Region.

Since 2010 Anita has been researching declining North American bird populations in what scientists are calling a “mass extinction event.” Her work, Dwindle, seeks to visually represent scientific meta-data of bird populations during the periods between 1966-1974 and 2016-2018.

Continuing to explore local impacts, Carrie will invite the public into an interactive component of her art, asking us all to reflect on our shared responsibility for addressing the climate crisis. Participants are invited to color one of four images of Syracuse parks, which will be overlapped and displayed in the gallery. She also worked with community knitters and students from the Montessori School of Syracuse to visually document change in Syracuse temperatures by facilitating a “tempestry project” – a collaborative fiber arts project that presents global warming data in visual form through knitted or crocheted artwork.
