Ryan Travis participated in a talk-back segment at Art Rage earlier this year.
We got word that two artistic figures will be departing: Ryan Hope Travis and Tim Bond. It’s always hard to see good people leave,but we were glad we got to meet them and experience the fruits of their artistic labor.
We wish them both good luck and continued success.
Timothy Bond (right) interviewed Brian Dennehy for Orange Central in 2013.

‘Cuse Now
Wednesday, March 11th, 2015Last week USA Today highlighted several towns to experience public art and Syracuse was not on the list. Hopefully that will change because at last week’s outreach meeting the Connective Corridor staff reported that nearly 300 artists submitted proposals to enhance the cultural and business district. Also, more facade and lighting projects are coming.
And while we look forward to the aesthetic possibilities, we know it’s the day-to-day work that makes a difference. We caught up with construction manager Gregory Miller at the outreach meeting to talk about his role.
Lean In-and-Out: Follow A Leader
Friday, March 6th, 2015“I am a storyteller, that is what I do.”
-Natalie Daise
Natalie Daise as Harriet Tubman (at the Community Folk Art Center).
Long before there was Sheryl Sandberg, Mayor Miner, County Executive Mahoney, or other female CEOs, we had Harriet Tubman. Remember the abolitionist/nurse/spy/Underground Railroad conductor spent her latter days in nearby Auburn, NY. We feel the leadership strategies that solidified her reputation deserve further examination.
Last night we watched actress Natalie Daise slowly transform into Harriet Tubman during a one-woman show at the Community Folk Art Center (CFAC). We learned several facts during the performance, including the fact that Tubman had a close relationship with John Brown, and was scheduled to be at Harper’s Ferry for the raid. Also Tubman’s original name was Araminta Ross.
Earlier in the week the show played at SUNY Oswego.
Daise, who originally got the theater bug while at Nottingham High School, perfectly captured Tubman in costume, idiom and song during the 1 hour-show.
It has been a while since we visited the Harriet Tubman Home, but we suggest that the newly designated National Park location capture Daise’s work in audio or video and preserve it as part of a permanent educational collection/display.
Happy Women’s History Month.
