Here’s a brief comment from Gallery 4040 Curator Anne Novado about her quest to work with artist Juan Cruz. Cruz’s show “equilibrium” is the third show at 4040, which is located in the New Court neighborhood. We didn’t know Novado was involved in the ThINC project back in the day. May the art continue.
Painter/Sculptor Juan Cruz gave an artist talk at the Gallery 4040 earlier today. Painter/Sculptor Juan Cruz gave an artist talk at the Gallery 4040 earlier today.

The Salt Quarters, a artist live/work space opened to the public on Wednesday. The artists who will occupy the space are John Cardone and Brooklyn’s Peter Edlund. The space is located along the Connective Corridor near the Delevan Center and the Lincoln Supply Building. The neighborhood continues to attract photographers, writers, painters and sculptors.
Cardone, who was on hand mingling with visitors, said he doesn’t make art but rather makes things that need to be made. His previous base of operation was at 601 Tully (aka the Treehouse) a few blocks away.

La Casita Cultural Center (LCCC) held an open house tonight with a show to celebrate the work of Latin American artists living in Syracuse. The gallery is located on the first floor of the Lincoln Supply Building on Otisco Street. Artists represented heritage from Cuba, Columbia, Mexico and Puerto Rico. According to Juan Cruz, artist in residence for the Near West Side Initiative, the goal was to create a space to showcase artists working in our city. He said he hopes the show “Motifs, Evocations,” will travel to other venues as well. “Motifs…” will be at LCCC thru September.
