ArtRage is no ordinary gallery. Its mission is to exhibit progressive art that inspires resistance and promotes social awareness; supports social justice, challenges preconceptions and encourages cultural change. It doesn’t stop there. Each exhibit will be in collaboration with one or more community organizations in an effort to expand the traditional viewing “audience,” to offer support and become a catalyst for organized action among working people.

Celebrate SCW’S 25th anniversary at ARTRAGE!

OPENING RECEPTION
Saturday, November 15, 2008
7:00 - 9:00 p.m.

Syracuse Cultural Workers (SCW) presents a familiar face (or, rather, several familiar faces) to the progressive community in Syracuse. The calendars, posters, cards and T-shirts we publish are well known; and the banners, drums, and willing bodies are a ready resource for just about any event designed to educate/agitate.

With this exhibit, titled SCW INSIDE-OUT, we celebrate our 25th anniversary with a behind-the-scenes look at some of the less obvious aspects of what it means to be an international “peace and justice publisher and distributor.” Topics include: the poster process, from brainstorm to finished product; customer feedback when we don’t get it right (and when we do); a poster/calendar collage wall featuring activist art spanning 30 years, and more. Join us for what promises to be a show filled with surprising, entertaining, and visually stimulating perspectives!

HOURS: W., Th., F. 2-7pm & Sat. 12-4pm

PosterWorks at the ArtRage gallery is devoted to providing income for the operation of the galley space. Every purchase from our large stock of posters, cards, T-shirts, DVD’s and books helps us pay for exhibits, rent and utilities! Located inside the gallery, at 505 Hawley Avenue, PosterWorks carries over 100 posters in stock and offers a selection of exhibit related materials for sale. Come and see the largest viewable collection of Syracuse Cultural Workers posters available anywhere in the U.S! Framed versions, at very reasonable prices, are also available for many posters.
