Massier Proposal Presentation Materials

On Thursday, January 20, 2011, John Massier, curator for Hallwalls, gave a presentation for the Buffalo Society of Artists at the Burchfield Penney Art Center on how to prepare an artist’s statement and write an art proposal.

Edward G. Bisone – Catalog

Those familiar with local expressionist artist and BSA member, Edward G. Bisone, may also know just how prolific he is. To preserve a record of his work, and with his permission, I’ve undertaken a project to capture, photographically, as many of Eddie’s paintings and drawings as possible.
