Forget the endless boxes of clothes, return the overpriced jewelry, and give those you love a less tangible gift this holiday season. Eight of Buffalo’s cultural organizations have teamed together to offer holiday packages so you can give friends and family the gift of culture, of learning, of the best of Buffalo.
Culture Craze, the year-old program, is the first of its kind to offer discounted packages to explore the arts and enjoy events unique to Buffalo. It was created as a way to build new audiences and attendance among the culturals and expose more young professionals to the arts and culture of our community.
,AeuThese ticket packages make the culturals affordable and provide one-stop-shopping, so the outings are more easily organized, saving time and effort,,Aeu said Anthony Conte, president of Shea,Aeos Performing Arts Center.
The available packages represent the offerings of eight of the city’s most well-known organizations: Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society, Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, Burchfield-Penney Art Center, Buffalo Museum of Science, Buffalo Zoo, Frank Lloyd Wright,Aeos Martin House Complex, Shea,Aeos Performing Arts Center and Studio Arena Theatre.
