Artist Run Spaces
Buffalo’s dynamic and diverse art scene is anchored by the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and the Burchfield Penney Art Center, but it is the extraordinary array of small galleries that are the lifeblood of the region’s visual arts community. Ranging from nationally recognized institutions like Hallwalls and CEPA to smaller neighborhood spaces like Artsphere and Studio Hart, Buffalo’s art scene offers both casual art fans and serious collectors a wealth of ongoing exhibitions in all media.
