Temple Adath Yeshurun Featuring UNIQUE Exhibit - Everson Executive Director to Give Presentation
Syracuse, NY: An exhibit featuring work from the 2011 edition of UNIQUE Art & Literary Magazine is taking place at Temple Adath Yeshurun from September 26 until October 25.
Members of the public are invited to attend a special lecture on Saturday, October 1st at 10:30 a.m. as a part of Temple Adath's Saturday morning services. During the event, Steven Kern, Executive Director of the Everson Museum of Art, will speak about the role of art in self-expression and human connection.
"It is our pleasure to host an exhibit of this extraordinary work," states Rabbi Charles Sherman. "Every individual has something to share, and we are pleased to provide an opportunity for the work of these artists to be seen. We are grateful that the Executive Director of the region's premier art venue will come to share his thoughts with us."
According to Steven Kern, "UNIQUE is an exceptional celebration of the creative spirit. The 65 artists represented in the exhibit are guided by imagination and the desire for self-expression. They reaffirm that artistic vision is not limited to sight, that art succeeds where words fail, and inspiration and determination are not limited by disability, but succeed through the common need to express ourselves and connect with others.
Tom McKeown, ARISE Executive Director states, "We are thrilled to have the UNIQUE 2011 art on exhibit at Temple Adath Yeshurun. We have been proud to produce this high quality publication for the past ten years. It was our hope to have the work seen by as many people as possible and we are honored to have the exhibit at Temple Adath Yeshurun."
This year's edition of UNIQUE magazine is the eleventh that ARISE has published. UNIQUE is an important component of ARISE's work to highlight the many talents and viewpoint of people who have disabilities. It represents the power of art to express, educate, and inspire.
