CEPA Gallery's Biennial Auction


So far, over 75 artists have made donations to the CEPA Gallery for this event. Almost half of the donors are from Buffalo or nearby areas and the remaining half have spent significant portions of their artistic careers in the Buffalo area. Some have held exhibitions during the last 34 years that CEPA Gallery has existed while other just feel that CEPA Gallery is an important institution worth donating to.
An audience of over 200 members is expected at the auction, which will be held at the Market Arcade in the Theatre District. The artwork can be previewed starting April 5 until the auction date at CEPA’s Flux and Passageway Galleries, or online at www.cepagallery.org. Registration and absentee bidding is also available through CEPA’s website.
Admission to the auction is $50, but that includes an auction paddle, catalogue, hors d’oeuvres and an open bar. The reception begins at 5pm and the live auction will begin promptly at 7pm. If you want more information, make advanced reservations, or request absentee bid forms, you can do see by calling 716.856.2717, faxing 716. 270.0184, or e-mailing auction@cepagallery.com

Those limited resources forced programmers to think carefully about what sort of music would p …

Buffalo born artist Ralph Sirianni will have an opening reception this Friday, May 9. A student of Walter Prochownik at the University at Buffalo, Sirianni describes himself as an abstract expressionist who lives and breathes art.
Indeed, everything Ralph does is art related, but his collective endeavors run the gamut from poetic to scientific. A Marine Corp veteran himself, Sirianni's day job is that of art therapist at the Veterans Administration hospital. In keeping with sha …
