Exhibitions
Every year, four exhibitions are curated in Light Work’s Kathleen O. Ellis Gallery, each accompanied by an issue of Contact Sheet. Light Work also mounts exhibitions in the Jeffrey J. Hoone Gallery with a focus on local talent and collection selections. Light Work regularly collaborates with the Urban Video Project (UVP), the Everson Museum of Art, and other organizations and galleries in Syracuse. Satellite exhibitions are occasionally held at the Palitz Gallery at the Syracuse University Lubin House in New York City.
Light Work has presented over 400 exhibitions since 1973.
