October 2022 Newsletter

I am happy to report that as we move into our summer season, we are doing so with a full itinerary of shows and events for our membership, courtesy of the good work of our Boards of Directors and Trustees. We have our collaborative show with ELAB at Silo City for “Reclaimed City”; our Summer Picnic; our Open Members Show — to be held at the Theodore Roosevelt Historic Inaugural Site — running six weeks through August and into the beginning of September; our Catalogue Exhibition and Eye Candy II art auction and social event to benefit the Artist Portrait Series Video Archive Project, both likewise to be held in September. To address the first of these, “Reclaimed City”, I would ask any artists who…

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.

You must tell your family, friends and art aficionados about an art party they should not miss. No dancing girls, but we will have…

With the 2013 year drawing to a close, I feel a great pride and satisfaction in presiding over an organization that has accomplished and continues to accomplish so much, given our diverse membership and volunteer composition, along with a desire to continue to develop and offer more to our membership and the greater Buffalo arts community beyond. Instrumental to this has been the Board that I have been lucky enough to have worked with this past year. I thank all of our Directors, but wish to give special attention to the four members who have just gone off of the Board: Richard Tomasello, Norine Spurling, Catherine Tillou and Paula Sciuk. The dedicated volunteer work that they have accomplished for this organization over their time on…

We had our Annual General Membership Meeting on May 7th and I am wondering where you were. I thank those of you who did attend and wish many more of you were there.
