Artist Yui Kugimiya discussed her process and several of her works, including Cat Brushing Teeth, last night at the Everson Museum of Art.
This is the second artist talk we’ve seen for the UVP series. We look forward to the technological upgrades that will make it possible to watch films and artist talks while riding the Connective Corridor buses (not just from the window, but projected inside maybe) since gathering in the Everson Plaza is not always favorable in February.

This photo was taken during a performance last week by Che’Zee. I send a special shout out to my man Maars (artist, performer, businessman) who always reminds me that footwear is also fashion.

Chenae Marie: First Take
The Community Folk Art Center (CFAC) kicked off Black History Month a few hours early by introducing Syracuse to the soul/boho/acoustic duo Che’Zee last night. The group is made up of husband-wife team Xeno and Chenae, who have their roots in the ATL underground music scene. This show was part of CFAC’s Journey Through Music of the African Diaspora series (with collaboration from WAER-FM 88).

83 & Company, Green Street’s Mini Cheesecake Factory
From the outside, the renovations done at 115 Green Street are impressive. Inside there are some great things going on as well. We recently visited the property, which is home to 83 & Company (and the $7 lunch special). The food was simple, but good. The bulk of the business seems geared toward the Three C’s: Cakes, Cupcakes and Cheesecake.
The mini cheesecakes (included with lunch) are the perfect afternoon sugar fix.
