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.

This fall, Schweinfurth Art Center in Auburn, NY, will display a nationally significant exhibit that highlights the practice of printing on textiles in the exhibit “Beyond the Surface: Contemporary Artists and Printed Textiles.”

The artworks in “Made in NY 2024” at Schweinfurth Art Center represent a diverse set of mediums: a foam sheep covered in printed pink fabrics, a painting of a rural road partially covered with water, and a moody night photograph of a diner, its lighted sign beckoning people to come inside, for example.

You can usually find Marcellus artist Eric Shute outdoors, painting with his watercolors. “I am most often attracted to natural motifs: rock ledges, trees, streams, and waterfalls; partly because I love painting outdoors but also because I am fascinated by the effects of sunlight on the objects,” he said.

“Both Ends of the Rainbow 2024” and “Three Lakes Sampler” opened Jan. 28 with more than 1,300 separate artworks made by students and senior citizens adorning the white walls of the Schweinfurth Art Center.

Rochester artist William “Lee” Hoag currently has a solo exhibition of his large scale Funk-Surreal sculptures, “Off Script and Unexpected,” on display at the Schweinfurth Art Center in Auburn through Jan. 7, 2024. He will be giving an artist’s talk about his process and inspirations at 2 p.m. Dec. 16, 2023.
