Studio Visits
We love doing studio visits with artists in Western New York. Send us an email and we’ll set something up.
Cornelia Magazine
Cornelia is a visual arts review magazine published 3-times a year and published by the Buffalo Institute for Contemporary Art. We launched this magazine in response to the lack of critical writing and press coverage for the visual arts in our entire region. The magazine is distributed through Buffalo, Rochester, and Toronto!
Artist Census
To better understand the artist who live in Buffalo and how to serve them, we are conducting a census style survey for artists and art workers in Buffalo and across Western New York.
This data will help establish a baseline of information about artists and can be used as a tool to garner support for artists and creatives in the area. Once the survey period has ended, results will be made available on this site and will be shared with other arts organizations and support groups.
