An Invitation From Artspace
Saturday, September 9th: Come celebrate their incredible new venture in the City of Buffalo. They're rolling out the welcome mat for anyone who would like to tour the building and join in on a big party... one you won't want to miss. There is going to be a ceremonial ground breaking by a group of local artists - the artists will dig with shovels that they are in the process of turning into works of art. On top of that the event coordinators are going to provide entertainment, and refreshments will be served to the guests.
Come meet the people that are investing in this incredible Buffalo boosting development. Artspace is another reason to be excited about city living. The event kicks off at 1pm and ends at 3pm. Artspace is located at 1219 Main Street. If you are not familiar with the project, click here. Parking for the party can be found behind the Belmont Shelter Corporation at the intersection of Coe and Main Street.

As we mentioned in our previous post, we’re in the process of changing the Buffalo Rising site. We’re almost there as we expect to launch the new site on Friday, December 19th.
In the meantime, posting will be light as we log new stories in the new publishing system which will only be viewable when we launch on Friday.
As always, we appreciate our users’ patience as we make this transition but we promise it will be well worth it. With faster load times, a comment view …
Caroline Kennedy was in town for a visit with our mayor yesterday. A possible choice to succeed US Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, Kennedy's name has been mentioned along with that of Attorney General Andrew Cuomo (son of former New York Governor Mario Cuomo) and our own Byron Brown, among others.
Certainly, Kennedy has "been around politics" all of her life, which is to say she was born into a family of politicos and lived in the White House--neither of which would necessarily f …
Free light rail rides on downtown's above ground section could be derailed thanks to the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority's budget mess. That is the news coming out of a Buffalo Place meeting this morning. Facing a budget shortfall and reduced State operating assistance, the NFTA is scrambling for new revenue sources and is contemplating charging for rides along the lengthy downtown pedestrian mall.
Well it is Christmas time in the city and the NFTA helped put people and especially children into the mood in a very festive and fun way. One of my favorite memories of childhood was taking the train downtown with my grandfather. I would gaze out the windows and watch the tunnel speed by. It always felt like we were going a million miles an hour.
Then there was the ability to stand up and walk around during the ride without the need to be strapped down. It was always a fun time …

See, who said Belmont Shelter Corp didn't need more parking?
Thank goodness this invitation sets out where people can park. Too bad it doesn't say that the Summer/Best Metro Station is the most convenient, or list the bus routes the site is on.

Id like to ask members of artspace to make a consideration for the benefit of Buffalo as we welcome this and hopefully more expansion and projects in the future.
There is a great need to bring back some of Buffalo's lost treasures of which the Pan Am Exhibit and the Central Terminal are two that most visibly come to mind and Im sure that there are a few others.
Im sure that if an artist wanted to bring some of our rich history back to life for everyone to experience then a way would be found to finance their work, whether through philanthopy or donations, Buffalonians would rally around a worthy cause.
