Opening reception is Friday May 13th from 6-9 at College St. Gallery on Allen. Graphic artist, Brian Nesline, was inspired to create a bridge between artists, non-artists, and art itself. In imagining a solution to his quest, he used the Creative Problem Solving model (CPS) from his creative studies coursework at Buffalo State College, where he majored in graphic design. The end result was "Faces of Buffalo", the first ever community-wide participatory art event of its kind in that all members of the community are welcome to participate annually by creating their self portraits to be united in a specifically unique and innovative way. The exhibit of Community Art Mosaics runs through June 4th.
