Noriko Ambe at The Warehouse Gallery
One very cool place to check out the work of current well-known artists is The Warehouse Gallery. I’ve featured Warehouse exhibitions in the past–Deng Guo Yuan for instance (now closed). I’m always very impressed with the exhibit selections but feel like people in the Syracuse community may be overlooking this awesome local art gallery. It’s not just for SU students, after all. The newest site-specific art installation is called Inner Water by Japanese artist Noriko Ambe in her first solo US show.

Since launching Syracuse Guru I’ve learned much about the local food system and met many people that are so important to the scene. From small restaurateurs dedicated to sourcing local, to the educators and writers who fight for the many unique businesses that make ‘Cuse such a great place to live, it proves to be an interesting experience on the daily. With so much to offer so close to home, it’s great that we’ve got people with the local passion.
Read MoreMore Art: Deng Guo Yuan at The Warehouse!
I decided to give myself a pass and write another article on a great artist whose work is currently on exhibit in Syracuse. Why? Because I can. Right now at The Warehouse Gallery at Syracuse University’s downtown design headquarters you can see amazing, intricate and stunning ink and brush paintings by Chinese artist Deng Guo Yuan. While I’m sure some have heard of him, here’s something you might not know–this 3 venue tour is his FIRST solo museum exhibition in the United States.

Many people have probably noticed the gated off streets and odd assortment of inflatables set up today in Armory Square. Some may be asking themselves, “whaaaat is this?” Well here’s your answer. Cartoon Network’s wildly popular late-night block of comically deranged shows called Adult Swim is hosting the Adult Swim Block Party. This year’s event has been touring 10 college towns, bringing live music, whacked-out carnival type games, prizes and booths representing a selection of Adult Swim’s lineup including Children’s Hospital and (my personal favorite) Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

I feel like I’m sorely lacking great events to bring your kids to but maybe I can make up for it with this post. Each year, Beaver Lake hosts a nighttime event that brings hundreds of guests to walk the dark, wooded trails lined with 400 specially carved jack-o-lanterns and “glowing luminaria” (huh?). Apparently this has been going on for some time and is very well-known in Central New York.
