Fiegl & Igel: An Exploration of Abstract Colorform to Soft Realism
Westcott Community Art Gallery

Price: Free
Westcott Community Center
Corner of Euclid Ave. and Westcott St., Syracuse

Fiegl's works focus on the interplay between color and form (Abstract Colorform) that has been his hallmark since the early 1980s, at one time being called the Jackson Pollock of his generation. Newcomer Igel focuses on the other end of the painting spectrum with works in the impressionistic to soft realistic realm, with skyscapes as his predominant subject matter. Between the two artists, viewers will delight in the broad range of style and techniques from the ethereal to the photographic.

It's the final night of Big American Star, and America is going to get a chance to vote for its next...big American star.

By the time the contestants are ready to sing, the atmosphere has turned murderous, and the contestants may "knock 'em dead" in more ways than one.

The show is an interactive murder mystery that involves the members of the audience.

Newcomer Igel focuses on the other end of the painting spectrum with works in the impressionistic to soft realistic realm, with skyscapes as his predominant subject matter. Between the two artists, viewers will delight in the broad range of style and techniques from the ethereal to the photographic.

38 E. Genesee St., Skaneateles

An exhibition by Phil Austin of Snake Oil Glassworks will run throughout August. Austin is known throughout the region for his handcrafted glass bowls, vases and pumpkins. Most of his works are done in the traditional way—freehand, without a mold. All are created at his hot glass studio on Jordan Road in Skaneateles. The studio, built in 2004, houses a hot shop (where the furnace is located), a coldworking shop, and a retail store and gallery.

Austin, who earned a master of fine arts degree in the glass program at the School for American Crafts at Rochester Institute of Technology, also teaches design and drawing at Onondaga Community College.

Joan Lukas Rothenberg: A Retrospective
Redhouse

Price: Free
Former Redhouse Theater
219 S. West St., Syracuse

Joan Lukas Rothenberg's art involvement began early in her life. As the director of the "Art Squad" at Lincoln High School in Brooklyn, NY, Joan was awarded the New York Society of Illustrators prize for her poster depicting the plight of children in poverty. She studied art at New York City's Cooper Union before earning her Master of Fine Arts in painting and ceramics from the University of Michigan and further study in drawing and printmaking at Royal University College in Stockholm.

In Syracuse, Joan was recognized as both an artist and activist. She was a founding member of the first women's consciousness-raising group which evolved into the Women's Information Center in 1972. She also founded and operated Auragyns, a women's art gallery. Joan was in the process of completing her PhD in Women's Studies at Syracuse University, studying images of women in the media, at the time of her death in 1990.

In celebration of Joan's spirit, tenacity, and vision, Red House will feature a series of group exhibitions promoting local, professional and student women artists. The retrospective will inaugurate this Emerging Women Artist series. The retrospective and the series are both made possible by a grant from the Joan Rothenberg Family Foundation.

The exhibit will be on display by appointment. Phone 315-425-0405 for more information or to schedule a viewing.
