State of the Art
Originally a windshield wiper factory, this gallery provides space for local artists to practice their craft. There's also an art gallery that features exhibitions from local and regional artists, both those just starting out and mid-careerists, in its 3,000 square-foot space. The studio also offers workshops for both adults and children in everything from photography to pottery. You'll find it relatively close to Delaware Park in the Tri-Main Center.

This studio and gallery, which opened in 2005, features the work of many talented local artists. However, what makes this studio different is that the artists are adults with developmental disabilities. It's the first studio of its kind in Western New York. Established by the Learning Disabilities Association of WNY, the studio provides art instruction for the disabled under the direction of professional artists. These artists work in a variety of media, including printmaking, painting, mixed media, fiber, sculpture, drawing, and ceramics. The public gallery is also open to other community artists for exhibits.
Whether you're looking for cutting-edge visual arts, contemporary music, or innovative performance art, this is the place to be. Located in the The Ashbury Delaware Church, this non-profit center offers annual memberships which can be used to get discounts on the admission price of events. It also allows members to exhibit their own work at the annual January Members Show.
Run by the non-profit Center for Exploratory and Perceptual Art (CEPA), this gallery in the Buffalo Theater District features photograph-based exhibits including stills, films and videos. Located in the historic Market Arcade building, the space consists of an upper, underground and passageway gallery. Recent and ongoing exhibits include Irish Republicans: Ireland & America and Buffalo: Portrait of a City, featuring interviews with kids from impoverished areas of the inner city. Apart from exhibits, CEPA also runs a digital lab and darkroom, educational programs and workshops.
