Artists Martha M. Deming and Mary P. Murphy met more than 20 years ago when Murphy wanted to work on her watercolor painting skills. They became friends and have a joint exhibition at the Schweinfurth through early next year.

Several textile artists included in Schweinfurth Art Center’s 44th “Quilts=Art=Quilts” exhibition cite their day job as an important influence in their art. This year’s exhibition, which opened Oct. 25, 2025, and runs through Jan. 4, 2026, features 69 pieces from 64 artists from around the world. Eleven artists are from outside the United States: five from Canada, three from Australia, and one each from Germany, Norway, and South Korea.

Schweinfurth Art Center in Auburn and Stone Quarry Art Park in Cazenovia collaborated this summer to create three exhibits that share themes around the rich and complicated histories contained with materials, landscapes, and nature: Ellery Bryan, Patrick Costello, and Patrick McGuan.

The Schweinfurth Art Center’s current exhibition “Imprinted on Cloth” showcases four fiber artists whose work crosses the boundaries between quilting and printmaking: Petra Fallaux of Pittsburgh; Pat Pauly of Rochester, NY; Karen Schulz of the Washington, DC, area; and Margaret Boys Wolf of Issaquah, WA.

Rachel Dickinson’s painting “Nice Porch” is one of 67 artworks by 66 artists included in “Made in NY 2025,” an annual juried exhibition at Schweinfurth Art Center in Auburn that features artwork from artists across New York State. The show, selected by jurors David MacDonald and Sayward Schoonmaker, opens April 4 and runs through May 17, 2025.

The Schweinfurth Art Center’s “Both Ends of the Rainbow” exhibit has always included artwork from both kindergarten to 12th grade students and senior citizens. But the number of seniors participating has jumped 47% since last year.

Canadian fiber artist Fuzzy Mall and at least 10 other artists featured in “Quilts=Art=Quilts 2024” at the Schweinfurth Art Center in Auburn use reclaimed fabrics – thrift store clothes, discarded upholstery scraps, damaged vintage quilts – in their work.
