EXPLORE THE WORLD WITH THE UNFORGETTABLE IMAGES OF STEVE MCCURRY

Steve McCurry (born 1950), renowned American photographer known around the world for his iconic photo Afghan Girl, creates images that bridge the gap between photojournalism and art. Characterized by the use of brilliant color and the ability to capture unexpected moments in far-off locales, McCurry’s pictures allow viewers to explore the world.

McCurry photographed a young monk on his way to prayer at the moment he seemed to notice McCurry and his camera. Buddhist monks are recruited in Tibet between the ages of six and 12, leaving their families to be cared for and educated by senior monks. Families often encourage their sons to become a monk for economic

reasons, because it brings honor and blessings to their family, or because the child showed an interest in monastic life.

Visit The World through His Lens: Steve McCurry Photographs and discover more of the unforgettable images McCurry has created over 30 years in six continents.

August 13 through December 31

The stories of passion, ambition, greed, and human suffering in ancient mytholo-gies represent attempts by humankind to understand the curious and inexplicable, from astronomy and tumultuous weather conditions to one’s inhumanity toward an-other and acts of generosity and kindness. These tales remain as compelling today as when they were first interpreted millennia ago. Mythology in Contemporary Art show-cases paintings and works on paper by Stephen Mueller, Betye Saar, Bob Thomp-son and other contemporary artists.

The exhibition is presented in conjunc-tion with Myths and Mysteries at MWPAI, a program developed by the Museum of Art Education Department. In this hands-on and online learning experience, students will explore multiple representations of ancient Greek and Roman literature while making comparisons between traditional representations of myths and contempo-rary interpretations.

For information regarding school tours, teachers should contact Meg Gianette, School Programs Coordinator, mgianetti@mwpai.edu.

Museum Education in theCommunityArtReach is an arts-in-education program that has been welcoming Utica-area chil-dren to MWPAI for 20 years. This year’s pro-gram, A Creative World, included art-mak-ing workshops and Museum exploration activities that encouraged appreciation of the arts and an understanding of the surrounding community. Children aged seven to 12 from Thea Bowman House created weaving projects designed by teaching artist Shannon Stockbridge, a PrattMWP alumna.

Middle school students from Thea Bowman House served as mentors to the younger children. All student activities included discussion, games and writing experiences based on works of art in the galleries, including the exhibitions: Terry Slade: Dreams and Apparitions; Seneca Ray Stoddard: Capturing the Adirondacks; and The World through His Lens: Steve McCurry Photographs.

A short video of this year’s program is on view in the Museum’s Art Odyssey. The artwork will remain on display in the Milton J. Bloch Museum Education Wing throughout the summer. We are grate-ful for support from the John Ben Snow Memorial Trust, a frequent sponsor of the program.

HOW IT WORKS:

Selling securities or mutual funds that have appreciated in value generally will result in long-term capital gains tax being due if the securities have been owned for more than 12 months. You transfer secu-rities you've held for more than a year to MWPAI. (Transferring the stock, rather than selling it yourself and giving the Institute the proceeds, is necessary to avoid capital gains tax.) MWPAI sells your securities and uses the proceeds for its programs while you receive gift credit and tax breaks. You can even direct your gift to a specific project.

MAKING A GIFT OF APPRECIATED SECURITIES More and more contributors are choosing to donate securities to MWPAI each year. Securities such as stocks, bonds and mu-tual funds make a wonderful gift, and the procedure for donating them is simple. Best of all, the tax savings to the donor can be significant. When you make a gift of appreciated securities to MWPAI, you'll often receive a significant tax benefit in the year you make the donation and avoid the capital gains tax you would have to pay if you sold the securities.

It is important that we are notified prior to every stock transfer, in order for us to accurately identify, allocate, and acknowl-edge your gift.
