Artists showcase their creations at "The Stories We Dream" multimedia exhibit at the Petit Branch Library.
A handful of female artists visited the Petit Branch Library to discuss their artwork on display for "The Stories We Dream" multimedia exhibit reception on March 12 for Women's History Month.
Congress designated March as Women’s History Month in 1987, and organizer Geraldine Greig has decided to show female artworks in public places every year since.
Review: The multimedia artist struggled to find the balance between concert and lecture Saturday at his Goldstein Auditorium performance for the CRAVE Arts Festival.

The Austrian-American composer Max Steiner once said that if Richard Wagner had lived in the 20th century, he would have written for film. Syracuse Opera’s multimedia concert of “The Flying Dutchman” would seem a natural extension of this idea. A montage of student videos were projected onto screens suspended above the orchestra.
Syracuse Opera calls on College of Visual and Performing Arts students to create abstract video backdrops for 'The Flying Dutchman.'
Richard Wagner is considered a god among titans by opera aficionados.
His operas are grand opuses, largely inspired by northern European mythology and legend. Because Wagner operas call for such elaborate sets, staging one is an ambitious endeavor for any company — even one the size of the Metropolitan Opera. Syracuse Opera — the only year-round professional opera company serving upstate New York — has been a successful institution since its first season in 1974, but staging a Wagner opera remains a challenge.
Former CEO Christie Hefner, daughter of the world’s most infamous man-about-town Hugh Hefner, helped transform Playboy the magazine into Playboy the brand.
“You’re never entirely sure where your life is going to take you,” Christie Hefner said.
Despite her goal to attend Yale University for graduate school, Hefner agreed to begin working at Playboy.
