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.

Current Exhibit: Al Hirschfeld and Syracuse: A Most Talented Association runs through April 10, 2014
