The Beyond/In Western New York exhibit is unfolding this weekend. Hallwalls Curator, John Massier explains the admirable process the arts venues went through in creating this exhibit that includes 50 artists in 12 venues, on his blog.
In this video, we visit Jacqueline Welch’s light filled home studio in South Buffalo. Welch’s paintings of animals, mostly dogs, as patron saints are odd and beautiful, painted with reverence for the Italian Renaissance. Painted with finesse, and accuracy these paintings are really nice to look at. She finds a lot of her sources online, noting Pet Finder.com as a source for imagery. The show opens tonight with several other Beyond/In venues, with a reception from 4-7pm at Carnegie Art Center in North Tonawanda, and remains on view through October 27. Welch is a member of the Buffalo Society of Artists, and a graduate of UB. She is an art teacher and shares her home with her husband and daughter, and hopefully soon an adopted dog.

Rock and Roll Theatre
French satire from the 1600's feels like falling asleep in high school english class. But classic French satire with a rock and roll band? That sounds better. We can thank Andy Liegl for this bold modernity on December 26th when his production of Such Foolish Affected Ladies opens at the Alt Theatre. The original play calls for violinists but this role has been liberally opened up to local band The Nepenthe.

A Souvenir From Alleyway Theatre
It’s funny how history seems to repeat itself. Florence Foster Jenkins was in the elite member of society, but terribly eccentric and utterly convinced that she was a great coloratura soprano – despite the fact that she couldn’t carry a tune for even a few notes. She even managed to hold a sold out concert, even though she couldn’t sing! Sound familiar? Remember William Hung?
Jenkins’ story happened over 50 years ago. She would hold annual recitals in the Ritz Carlton h … - Dec 18th 2008, 6:51am
