Vibrant Works of Art Featured at the 464 Gallery

The 464 Gallery is gearing up for the opening of Color: A Celebration of Local LGBT Art, featuring vibrant works created by members of the local LGBT arts community. The 464 Gallery is known for their support of helping artists share their work, shape and sharpen their artistic skill set, and was recently nominated for best new art space in Artvoice's Best of Buffalo poll.

In addition to showing the artwork of a half dozen LGBT artists, 464 will be collaborating with AIDS Community Services (ACS) to provide a rare chance to view quilt panels from the ACS Mending of the Hearts Memorial Project, and showcase new photography from gallery owner Marcus L. Wise.

This opening, on June 5th, will also feature works by painters Paul Rybarcyzk, Scott Klaurens and Michael Klemm, works from multimedia artists Daniel Rodgers and H. Duane Mallaber, photography from emerging photographer Joelle LoDestro along with many more artists. Additionally, the work of members of MINDWEB.us will be showing.

"It is my hope that I will be able to provide some new opportunities for local gay artists, as well as give them an opportunity to showcase their work in an environment that celebrates our diversity," Wise said.

Don't miss the live music performed by Buffalo native acoustic singer/songwriter, Roni Pillischer, along with free food, beer and wine. The event is free and open to the public.
