Peter Fowler Opening @ Kepa3 Gallery, Friday, 2/2

Peter Fowler is presenting his new show "Isis and Eve, and Adam", this coming Friday, 2/2/07, at Kepa3 Gallery. Running through February 24th, this is a collection of iconic portraits in vibrant reds. These are iconic portraits, extremely rich in texture and color, in small and large formats. At a time of year when much of the world is showing in muted tones, this series will bring a much-needed jolt of warmth and brightness to your life. Peter's work, and his gallery, are a treasured part of the Buffalo art scene. This would be a great time to introduce yourself, if you're not familiar with them.
Kepa3 Gallery, 31 Barker Street, Buffalo, 716.884.2602, 5:30 - 9:30 PM.

Buffalo's favorite daughter, Ani DiFranco, is a prime example of broadcast worthy television with …
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 …
