Locust Street Neighborhood Art Classes’ 47th Annual Art Show
Talk about an institution! The Locust Street Neighborhood Art Classes is holding its 47th Annual Art Show, opening on Sunday, June 3, from 2-5 PM.
This year’s exhibit will feature the year’s most significant accomplishment(s) from each regularly attending student, as well as a mural done with “There’s None Like You” Family Outreach, and photos of the tile installation at Futures Academy. You’ll also be able to view Public Art Planting Tires done with Daemen College’s after school program “the Friday Thang”, a great way to both get rid of waste and add a touch of color to a neighborhood garden.
There will also be a showing of the work of Squeaky Wheel’s “ TechArts for Girls”, which is a community action project begun to encourage girls from Buffalo and Erie County to learn about computers. Girls work with media professionals for whom computers are an integral tool, are taught exciting .computer programs by Squeaky Wheel, and then create group and individual artwork, self-portraits and audio projects.
On the social side of the event, music will be provided on Sunday by “DJ Poppa”, and chicken dinners will be on sale Sunday as well. The exhibition may also be seen on Tuesday, June 5, from noon until 6 PM, and will then be on display all year. Started in 1959 at the direct request of children in the Fruit Belt neighborhood, Locust Street Art is the Buffalo area’s sole source of professionally taught, tuition-free, ongoing instruction in the Visual Arts of Painting, Drawing, Clay, & Photography for ages 4 through senior adult. Over 250 children, teens, and adults attend each year. Invitation Drawing By: Garry Collins

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.

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
