Schweinfurth Art Center Galleries Closing for Summer Construction

SHARE NOW

The Schweinfurth Art Center in Auburn will temporarily close its galleries this summer.

The galleries will be closed from May 27 through August 30 to allow for construction on the West End Arts Campus. The campus will connect the art center’s grounds with those of the neighboring Cayuga Museum, creating an integrated campus with improved lighting, parking, and signage.

The Cayuga Museum previously announced it would temporarily relocate from the Case Mansion to downtown Auburn at 144 Genesee Stree, Suite 100.

While the Schweinfurth’s galleries will be closed, its clay studio, Summer Art Camp, classes, gift shop, and offices will remain open.

The clay studio will be open from 10:00a-4:00p on Wednesdays through Saturdays and from 1:00p-4:00p on Sundays through July 13. The studio will then close through August 11. It will reopen on August 12 with new hours: Monday through Friday from 10:00a-4:00p until August 30. On September 4, the studio will revert to its normal hours.

The galleries will reopen on August 31 with Beyond the Surface, Contemporary Artists and Printed Textiles, featuring 75 works from eight artists. The exhibit will close on October 20.

The center’s final exhibit of the year, Quilts=Art=Quilts, will run from November 2 through January 5.

Construction on the West End Arts Campus is anticipated to be completed by March 2025.
