FLEA-verson

The Everson Museum opened at its present site in 1968.  It was the first museum designed by architect I.M Pei, and was meant to be more than just a building housing art.  Pei designed the building to be a grand sculptural object, to be experienced as sculpture in the context of the city.  It is a wonderful example of contemporary architecture and is, truly, a work of art.  We are honored and excited to be having our Funky Flea is such a fabulous venue and encourage you to visit this gem in our city often!  The Everson has a vast collection of art and has many thought provoking and unique exhibits throughout the year.  Visit them on Saturday and see the new exhibition titled "People, Place and Progress: Local Landscapes in Paint and Print"  It is an exhibit co-curated by the Onondaga Historical association" and it opens on Saturday!  The museum is open from 10am to 5 pm on Saturday.
