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.

Pa Bouje Ankò: Don't Move Again is an exciting photography exhibition that captures life in Haiti before and after the devastating earthquake in January of last year. Photographer Laura Heyman began the project with a question: “Can someone from the first world see and photograph within the third world without voyeurism or objectification?” This query led Heyman to open a formal portrait studio in the Grand Rue neighborhood of Port-au-Prince, where she invited members of the local community to have their portraits made. The exhibition comes to the Palitz Gallery courtesy the Light Work artists' space in Syracuse, New York.
