Point of Contact (POC), a Syracuse-based organization founded in 1975, is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a landmark exhibition titled “50 Sin Cuenta,” featuring over 100 works of contemporary Latin American art from its permanent collection. The exhibition opens September 19 at the newly renovated Warehouse Gallery at the Nancy Cantor Warehouse in downtown Syracuse, with works by artists including Luis Felipe Noé, Liliana Porter, Arnaldo Roche, and Víctor Vázquez. The show runs through October 24 and is free to the public.
The exhibition matters because it marks a half-century of POC’s mission to foster cross-cultural dialogue through literature and visual arts, particularly highlighting Latin American voices. Founded by the late professor Pedro Cuperman, POC has evolved from a literary journal into a visual arts program that collaborates with Syracuse University and local communities. The anniversary reaffirms the organization’s role as a platform for artistic innovation and interdisciplinary exchange, supported by the New York State Council on the Arts and university partners.
