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 is 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.

As a member of the Third Thursday group, ArtRage will host a celebration of Syracuse Cultural Worker’s 2009 Women Artist’s Datebook as our Th3 event on November 20, 2008. The gallery will be open from 5-8pm with music, datebook poetry and food offered from 6-7pm. Join us for the event and don’t forget to enter the Th3 free drawing for dinner gift certificates.

(One entry per person)

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); the poster backlist/greatest flops, and more! Join us for what promises to be a show filled with surprising, entertaining, and visually stimulating perspectives!

Syracuse Cultural Workers’ 25^th Anniversary Exhibit

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.
