Wynn Newhouse 2010 Awards Exhibition

Palitz Gallery

The Second floor of Syracuse University Lubin House is the home of the Louise and Bernard Palitz Gallery. Made possible through the generous support of alumna Louise Palitz and her husband Bernard, the Gallery is host to several art exhibits throughout the year including two major public shows - one in the fall and one in the spring.

The SUArt Galleries on campus, the generosity of private collectors, and the talents of alumni are what help to make the Palitz Gallery a popular feature of Lubin House.

Curators of the Palitz Gallery exhibits are Domenic Iacono (djiacono@syr.edu), Director of SUArt Galleries, David Prince (dlprince@syr.edu), Associate Director/Curator, SUArt Galleries and Edward Aiken, Senior Curator, Program Coordinator, Museum Studies Graduate Program.

SUArt Galleries can be reached at 315-443-4097.

The Wynn Newhouse 2010 Awards were created to draw attention to the achievements of artists of excellence who happen to have disabilities. The exhibition contains four sculptures, a painting and a video installation, all created by artists of professional standing with disabilities. There is a second video displaying the works of five runners-up.

“Wynn Newhouse knew first-hand what negative perceptions many people had about people with disabilities,” says Bill Butler, Consultant to the S I Newhouse Foundation. “He also knew that talented people having disabilities were exceptional contributors in many fields, including the arts.” Each winner receives a portion of a $60,000 per year allotment from the Samuel I. Newhouse Foundation.
