Palitz Gallery

The second floor of Syracuse University’s Lubin House is home to the Louise and Bernard Palitz Gallery, Syracuse University Art Museum's visual arts venue in midtown Manhattan. The Gallery hosts several exhibits a year featuring the extensive permanent collection of Syracuse University, as well as works from alumni and faculty artists, Coalition of Museum and Art Centers partners such as Light Work, Point of Contact Gallery, and Community Folk Art Center, and the annual Wynn Newhouse Foundation's awards exhibition for artists who happen to have disabilities. In addition, the Gallery has featured works on loan from collectors or other galleries, and site specific installations by contemporary artists.

Space and the Sacred: Letterio Calapai’s Prints
February 10–June 5, 2025

Between the 1940s and his death in 1993, printmaker and art educator Letterio Calapai produced dozens of prints examining outer space and Catholic subjects. By focusing on these two seemingly disparate subjects, this exhibition explores how Calapai sought to understand the changing world around him by placing the Space Race in conversation with the late-20th-century cultural shifts.

This exhibition is curated by Julia Neufeld, G’24.
