Life and Culture

Galleries and Art Spaces

Anchored by the airy warehouse space of the Delavan Gallery, the popular Everson Museum, and SUArt Galleries’ six distinct venues just up the hill, the local gallery scene is loaded with opportunity for the serious artist, not-so-serious spectators, and everyone in between. Nearly two dozen art galleries around the area offer collections, exhibits and displays for every taste. For the schedule minded, Th3 opens more than a dozen city galleries the third Thursday of each month

Music and Performances

Syracuse has long been the hotbed for great music and theater. With a rich history in jazz, R&B, and alternative rock music. Today we have over twenty organizations dedicated to bringing music and theater to Syracuse residents every single day. Whether it be an intimate poetry ready, to a 3000 person concert, to a Broadway caliber performance; we have it all.

Lakes and Parks

What makes us stand out from so many other mid-size cities across the county? Where else can you drive ten miles in any direction and be on kayaking on beautiful lakes, climbing mountains, fishing in streams, and cross-country skiing all winter long? Come to a place that has the best of both worlds. Enjoy the city, but escape easily to the peace of nature.

Universities

Looking to hone your skills further? Maybe you’re hoping to take up a new career or simply a hobby? Either way, in the Central New York area, we have over 30 colleges and universities. In the greater Syracuse area alone we have more than 10. Several of the schools have world-renown faculty and an amazing array of majors and foci.
