The Syracuse Chapter of the Gospel Music Workshop of America (SGMWA), sang the “National Anthem” at the Syracuse Chiefs Baseball game on Labor Day. “This was an exciting experience for the group”, stated director, Dr. Joan Hillsman. Many positive comments w
ere made from the audience who enjoyed our nation’s hymn. It is always a pleasure to engage the group in exciting, new venues. It has not always been occasions where gospel-based groups were invited to sing on such occasions. Pride for our nation can ring out in song, “o’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.”
Portrait Workshop with Sofía Luz Pérez and Cayetano Valenzuela
Portrait Workshop with Sofía Luz Pérez and Cayetano Valenzuela
Join us for a two-part workshop with exhibiting artist Sofía Luz Pérez and Syracuse artist Cayetano Valenzuela. In this workshop, Cayetano Valenzuela and Sofía Luz Pérez will share their own practices and processes in making a portrait/self-portrait and ask participants to create a portrait or self-portrait. The emphasis of the portrait should be on identity and cultural background/ancestry, but they encourage everyone to delve into any part of themselves or the person they are drawn to portraying. This is a free workshop with limited space available. We ask that you attend both sessions. Art supplies will be provided and you are welcome to also bring your own.
