Holiday Art Exhibits

Holiday Art Exhibits
This evening, Buffalo Arts Studio opens the first of a string of holiday exhibits featuring the work of regional artists, with the "Annual Artist Exhibit and Sale 07." The work available in this area is not only exceptional in quality, but also incredibly reasonably priced.
Living with a painting or sculpture made with the hands of someone living here in Western New York is truly rewarding. You are not only supporting a creative individual’s career, but bringing something into your home that will give back when you look at it for decades.
It is hard to imagine how they’ve done it, but Buffalo Arts Studio had crammed a ton of artists’ works into their space, so it will be a great place to start if you are looking to purchase a piece of art for a loved one this holiday season. Included artists: Dennis Bertram, Dave Buck, William Y. Cooper, James Cooper, Kara Daving, Betty Pitts-Foster, Ani Hoover, Rob Lynch, Nathan Naetzker, Lila Mandzyk, Devora Primack, Sarah Everett Prochownik, Thomas Rojek, Jennifer Russo, Nancy E. Smith, Rosemarie Sroka, Kurt Treeby, Milton Weiser, Kathleen Sherin, Valerie Dunne, Jo Ann Brenner, Brett Coppins, Bryan Hopkins, Munetaka Ichikawa, Isabelle Pelissier, Amy Robinson Gendrou, Kathi Roussel, Deborah Stewart, Nancy Thayer, Kathi Roussel, Scott Bye, Roberto Pacheco, Adrienne Lynch, William Koch, and Joanna Angie.
The opening reception is this evening, Saturday, November 17, 7-10pm on the 5th floor of the TriMain Center at 2495 Main Street, at the corner of Jewett Parkway. Phone 833-4450.

Perhaps you're familiar with public access broadcasting and its noble intentions for communal enrichment. Or perhaps you just thought about Wayne's World and instead wondered why he wore such a devastatingly tight t-shirt. But if you look you'll see the wealth of opportunity provided for by a national airwave designated specifically for our local ambitions. Buffalo's favorite daughter, Ani DiFranco, is a prime example of broadcast worthy television with a local …
Opening night is normally a series of highs and lows. Anticipation, nerves and excitement go hand and hand, for a new playwright it can be agony. Wondering how people perceiving your work, your words, your motivations. Until the curtain closes and there is an eruption of applause, you’re on pins and needles; a sign of a good show is the audience feeling that anticipation as well. I was able to attend opening night of “Triangles” at Road Less Traveled Productions and it was a …

Very nice. Read the Nov. 19th copy of New York Magazine. In it is an article about the extremities of gentrification in Brooklyn, and in particular, Red Hook. Described therein is the scenario, much discussed, of New York princing out creative people. Mention is made of the "next Brooklyn" but all agree it won't be in New York and it is strongly tipped that Buffalo is the logical next creative hub. Buy into Buffalo, move to Buffalo, get into Buffalo.
