��������:��In the American Grain: Exploring America through Art, 1919–1946����is opening on Thursday, September 4, 5-7PM in BUAM MAin Galleries

On view: 9/4/2025- 12/6/2025
T-S Noon-4 p.m. | TR Noon-7 p.m.
Main galleries | Free Admission

The two-and-a-half decades between 1919 and 1946 witnessed the development of an American art that sought to capture a country in the midst of transformation. Through celebration and crisis, artists held up a mirror to their fellow citizens, showing their lives, their landscapes and their dreams. In the American Grain tells this story through artworks addressing a range of themes, drawn from the rich holdings of the ���ϲ����� Art Museum and Libraries, the Roberson Museum and Science Center and the Art Bridges Collection. In particular, the exhibition acknowledges the generosity of Gil and Deborah Williams, whose donations to the Art Museum are extensively featured here. Together, they reveal how history shaped art during these years, and how artists themselves responded to history in the making. This exhibition is curated by Tom McDonough, professor of art history.

Support for this project is provided by Art Bridges.

New York Voices began in the mid-1980s at Ithaca College, when Peter Eldridge, Kim Nazarian and Darmon Meader came together in the school’s vocal jazz ensemble. Originally formed for a European jazz festival tour, the group found chemistry and momentum that soon led them to New York City, where they added Sara Krieger and officially launched under the name “New York Voices.”

Their blend of vocal precision, jazz sophistication, and crossover appeal quickly caught attention, landing them a deal with GRP Records in 1989. With their debut album, they began touring nationally and internationally, building a loyal audience. Over the years, the group evolved, eventually solidifying into the now-iconic quartet of Eldridge, Nazarian, Meader and Lauren Kinhan.

Throughout their nearly 40 year career, New York Voices released ten acclaimed albums, collaborated with legends like the Count Basie Orchestra, Paquito D’Rivera, and the Bob Mintzer Big Band, and became champions of vocal jazz education through their annual Vocal Jazz Camps.

In 2024, the group announced plans to retire at the end of 2026. As they take their “final lap around the planet,” they remain committed to celebrating the journey, sharing their artistry, and going out on a high note.

This performance will feature a special onstage collaboration between the New York Voices and ���ϲ����� music students, local high school musicians and the Southern Tier Singers Collective.

The Balcony:��By Jean Genet��Directed by Jose ZayasOctober 17-20, 2025

The Balcony" is a play that intricately explores the dynamics of power and identity through its major characters, set against the backdrop of a brothel known for its role-playing fantasies. At the center of this world is Irma, the proprietress referred to as The Queen, who navigates her business with a mix of ambition and fragile alliances, particularly with her favored employee, Carmen, and the politically ambitious Chief of Police, George. Each character embodies various societal roles, such as the Bishop and The Judge, who transition from clients to participants in Irma's elaborate regime, highlighting themes of governance and authority.

Carmen, who serves as a bookkeeper and spy, contrasts sharply with Chantal, a former employee who seeks freedom and ultimately meets a tragic end due to the machinations of the powerful. Roger, Chantal's lover, grapples with his desire for control, ultimately taking on the role of Chief of Police in a dark twist of fate. The ensemble is completed by figures like The Executioner and The Envoy, who add depth to the play’s commentary on loyalty and revolution, underscoring the tension between personal ambition and collective upheaval. Each character's journey reflects a complex interplay of desire, betrayal, and the search for identity within a society on the brink of change.

Roger, Chantal's lover, grapples with his desire for control, ultimately taking on the role of Chief of Police in a dark twist of fate. The ensemble is completed by figures like The Executioner and The Envoy, who add depth to the play’s commentary on loyalty and revolution, underscoring the tension between personal ambition and collective upheaval. Each character's journey reflects a complex interplay of desire, betrayal, and the search for identity within a society on the brink of change.

Seussical:Book, Music, and Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens & Stephen FlahertyDirected by Tommy IafrateMusic Directed by Melissa YanchakChoreographer: JoEllen KuhlmanNovember 14-22, 2025

Now one of the most performed shows in America, Seussical is a fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza that brings to life all of our favorite Dr. Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie and a little boy with a big imagination – Jojo. The colorful characters transport us from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos.

The Cat in the Hat tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust that contains the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child sent off to military school for thinking too many "thinks." Horton faces a double challenge: not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping, and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant.
