Back in March I mentioned the end of a Syracuse
institution when Eureka Craft Gallery closed its doors. I admit it was hard to
accept having been the longest continuous craft gallery that represented my
work from 1992 to 2019 and it also meant that I had no gallery representation
in that area. Several months back, Amy, a former employee of Eureka and the
single person responsible for turning my wife and I on to a great bakery
contacted me and ask if I would show in her gallery which she was planning on
opening in August or September. I told her I would be happy to and delivered a
group of pots to her in September and got to see her new space known as MIXED
METHODS. In certain respects MM takes some of its cues from Eureka, not only
filling a void left by the gallery closing but bringing a all that she had
learned to a new, streamlined and crisp gallery setting while also espousing
some "newer" concepts into a social media savvy age. MIXED METHODS is
primarily focused on providing well made and unique items and objects in eight
various mediums including; pottery, wood, fiber, glass and wood presenting a
rich variety catering to all types of collectors and gift givers in a wide
range of prices.
As the gallery progresses and takes root in the area
the goal is to ultimately include evenings with "Meet the Artists" as
well as trunk shows and other special events, one step at a time. The following
was included in a recent email from MIXED METHODS owner, Amy; "I wanted to
create a place to showcase artists' work from across the country. There are so
many talented artists and 'neat' small businesses and I wanted to be able to
have a place where someone could find creative, original and well made pieces -
whether as a gift or something special for yourself. " In the end, "I
decided to open a shop to continue to offer artists' items to the Syracuse
area." From my experience what I can say about Amy and MIXED METHODS is
she has excellent taste in pastries which I am sure will extend to those things
carefully considered for her gallery and this new destination just makes
another excellent reason to visit Syracuse located dead smack in the center of
NY State. MIXED METHODS can be found at
215 East Water Street (Rear) in Syracuse.
