This year’s Made in New York exhibit is currently up and running at the Schweinfurth Memorial Art Center.

This year Anita Welych and Jeremy Randall picked the artwork.  Over seventy works were selected from four hundred entries.

Jeremy Randall has been working in clay and making decorative and functional pottery for over 20 years. He received his Bachelor’s of Fine Arts from Syracuse University in 2000, and his Masters of Fine Arts in ceramics from the University of Florida in 2005. Currently he lives in Tully, New York, and owns and operates his studio/teaching and retail business Papavero Clay Studio in Marcellus NY. Jeremy’s work can be found in galleries across the US, has shown in numerous national shows, and has had the privilege of teaching workshops across the United States and internationally. In 2017 he began an apprenticeship program in his studio, looking for ways to offer traditional/non-traditional education experiences for emerging artists in a ceramic studio setting.

Serving as the executive director of the Kirkland Art Center in Clinton, NY, Anita Welych is also a practicing visual artist. She received her BFA at Cornell University and completed an MFA at Syracuse University. In between, she pursued graduate coursework in painting and lithography at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia in Bogotá on a Fulbright Grant. She subsequently returned to Colombia on a teaching Fulbright, lecturing across the country.

Welych taught in the Studio Art program at Cazenovia College for over thirty years, developing the major in Arts Management and serving as its director. She served on the Syracuse Public Art Commission for three years and was a founding board member of ArtRage Gallery, both located in Syracuse.

Welych has exhibited nationally and internationally, working in book arts, collage, printmaking, painting, and installation. Her lifelong interest in social and environmental issues drives the content of her art.

I attended the opening art reception on Saturday.  The exhibition continues through May 16, 2026.  The Schweinfurth is located at 205 Genesee St. Auburn, NY 13021.
