Never Enough Art Part 1: Lukia Costello Photography
Assuming you haven't filled your taste for good art over the weekend, Monday evening local photographer Lukia Costello will be holding an opening at Betty's Restaurant. Join her in celebrating the opening of a solo show entitled 'This Natural World - a.k.a nature photos that don't bore me."
Born and raised in in Buffalo, NY, Lukia came to photography in a roundabout way. Unsure of her direction, by chance, or intuition, she attended a photography course at the University of Buffalo in the spring of 2004. Here she found her true love, obsession and life's work. Lukia has shown in Western New York as well as Northern California.
According to her artists's statement: "We think fast, we move fast, we live fast. Running, always running from A to B and back again. Fast food, high speed internet. Our life, at times, is no more than a motion blur.
I run too. But then I am stopped. I'm captivated, caught and lost in a sliver of light, an odd reflection, a disruptive shadow. Gorgeous moments present themselves everywhere; even in the most unlikely places. Stop. Have a look. Let the moment enfold you -- this is all you really have. Right now."
She also has work on view/for sale at Quaker Bonnet through the end of June. (175 Allen St., Buffalo, NY 14201).
Monday, June 11, 6 - 9 PM Free Betty's Restaurant 370 Virginia, 14201, 352.0633

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. "I wanted an indie rock sound, something that my generation can click wit … - Dec 18th 2008, 7:25am

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
