Venue Map
Intermissions is an innovative art exhibition and related
programs featuring the video and Anderson's photographic art. In a time
of economic uncertainty and other societal stresses, this project was
designed to provide viewers a welcome artistic interruption to daily
life. Anderson's work, and the entire project, brings art into the
community, and focuses on reminding people of the importance of
remembering to stop and enjoy the moment. Anderson's work is featured
in more than a dozen galleries in Syracuse, as well as installed in
windows, on billboards and projected onto downtown buildings. |
