BAS Sale Continues

Wrap your own incentive package with local ribbon.
If you were unable to attend the Buffalo Art Studio's opening, don't worry - there's still time to visit the gallery and gift shop to find that perfect gift this holiday season. The exhibition showcases the extensive and multi-faceted talents of the over thirty artists in residence at BAS, as well as past resident artists and former exhibiting artists.
Incentive. Sitmulus. Economy Carrot. Buy, Buy, Buy. What ever one thinks of the daily, no…hourly news or our economy…there is still one thing that is the true stimulus package. And that is is shopping locally.
Commerce supports the arts, arts support the community, and the community supports commerce…
Affordable works ($25-$500) are featured in a range of media including painting, photography, sculpture, jewelry, ceramics, and more. So come and see for yourself why BAS was voted by Buffalo Spree in the /Best of Western New York 2007/ issue as the "Best Place to Buy Cheap Art" (we like to think of it as "Inexpensive Art")!
Artists featured: Joanna Angie, Dennis Bertram, Jo Ann Brenner, Dave Buck, Robert Budin, Scott Bye, Oreen Cohen, William Cooper, K. Cornelius, Megan Cosgrove, Kara Daving, Valerie Dunne, Dorothy Fitzgerald, Bryan Hopkins, Bingyi Huang, William Koch, Jeffrey Lane, Lila Mandzyk, Brian Milbrand, Betty Pitts-Foster, Thomas Rojek, Kathi Roussel, Matthew SaGurney, Gary Sczerbaniewicz, Jody Selin, Kathleen Sherin, Chris Siano, Rosemarie Sroka, Deborah Stewart, Nancy Thayer, Jeffrey Vincent, and Milton Weiser.

Though it may only be the fifth time since 1992 that the Albright-Knox Art Galley has increased its admission rate, the higher fee speaks to the changing face of our society and economy. To keep the gallery in good financial health, it is necessary to increase the price of a regular adult admission ticket from $10 up to $12. The new price will go into effect on January 1st 2009.
The director of the gallery, Louis Grachos, has said that due to higher costs in all areas of the gall …
French satire from the 1600's feels like falling asleep in high school english class. But classic French satire with a rock and roll band? That sounds better.

The original play calls for violinists but this role has been liberally opened up to local band The Nepenthe. "I wanted an indie rock sound, something that my generation can click wit …
It’s funny how history seems to repeat itself. Florence Foster Jenkins was in the elite member of society, but terribly eccentric and utterly convinced that she was a great coloratura soprano – despite the fact that she couldn’t carry a tune for even a few notes. She even managed to hold a sold out concert, even though she couldn’t sing! Sound familiar? Remember William Hung?
Jenkins’ story happened over 50 years ago. She would hold annual recitals in the Ritz Carlton h …
What could be more perfect to spread the news about local artists at the Buffalo Indie Market than a literary magazine that features works from local artists?
