For our membership, summer has always been more than a period of down time between our Spring Show and Catalog Exhibition. For artists, summer is a time for growth and experimentation in our work and further development as professionals. Accordingly, my message to you at this time focuses on the professional development initiatives that the Board of Directors has cultivated and is still creating for the BSA Membership. First though, I would like to thank Mark Lavatelli for the great work that he has been doing as Vice President of Exhibitions: first for the Spring Show and now with the Open Members Show at the Carnegie Art Center. It is also in the nature of this job to plan well ahead for shows and exhibitions…

An Important Matter for Every BSA Member to Consider For more than 120 years the Buffalo Society of Artists has been a voluntary association of local artists committed to supporting one another and to exhibiting high quality artwork in the Buffalo region. To be an exhibiting member of the BSA has carried a certain distinction over the years. However, the actual significance and meaning of membership in the Society has been as diverse and varied as the members themselves. For many, belonging to the BSA has been about the juried exhibition opportunities offered twice a year, for some it has meant a chance to network, form friendships and fellowship with like-minded art makers, others have found in the BSA the opportunity for professional growth, and…

I’ll open this message by announcing the loss of one of our truly vital members, a real life-force, the scintillating, superbly talented, Priscilla Bowen, who passed away peacefully on September third after a six month long battle with lung cancer. She will be greatly missed, both for her art as well as her presence at art openings. Thank you, Priscilla, for the joy you brought so many of us. Onto more mundane matters. The 119th annual Catalogue Exhibition is chosen, the catalogue is being assembled, the show will soon be hung at the Buffalo Center for Arts and Technology (BCAT), and the winners are…you’ll have to wait until the opening ceremony to find out. Ninety-five artworks. No size restrictions. Quite a challenge to put this…

The Buffalo Society of Artists entered 2017 with enthusiasm and a flurry of activity. Reading the E-Flashes reminds us all that BSA members have had an exciting start to this year. Congratulations to Brenda Molloy on the amazing works that were the backdrop for the play Dead Man’s Cell Phone presented at the Castellani Art Museum. Gary Wolfe continues to amaze us with his paintings. Gary received notification that his work Ensemble was accepted into the Burchfield Penney’s Permanent Collection. Richard Christian exhibited at the Paula Art House, a venue which has featured exhibitions of many of our members’ work. Cornelia Dohse-Peck exhibited her work at the Carnegie Art Center during February. The Kenan House Gallery’s exhibit Celebrating Alice Pomroy: Women Artists of Western New…

If you haven’t stepped forward to participate in any one of our vibrant committees, you’re missing something special. It’s been two years since you, our members, told the then Board what you want our Society to do and become when you answered the strategic plan questionnaire. You said we needed better publicity, a stronger connection to the community and other arts groups, and improved educational and professional developments through programs, workshops, studio visits, and demonstrations. Thanks to the hard work of the previous and current Board members and officers, and a surprising number of non-board, non-officer volunteers, we are achieving many of these goals, some at breakneck speed. I am honored to serve with these people. We have all benefited from the diligence and tenacity…

September, 2011 BSA Newsletter (PDF) There is never a dull moment on the Buffalo Society of Artist’s frontline. We, the board, are still marching to the beat of 120 years of history in the making. September marks our “Eye Candy” Fundraiser, a first for BSA, which takes place on Friday, September 23, 2011 from 6 to 9 p.m. at Vern Stein’s Art Gallery in Williamsville. We are expecting a crowd and have about 85 artworks to display in a very impressive lineup. I have seen them all and there are many very beautiful small gems that will be placed for auction. You must tell your family, friends and art aficionados about an art party they should not miss. No dancing girls, but we will have…
