My neighbors at the Buffalo Arts Studio are organizing an art affair and auction for all. ‘CollectX25’ promises to democratize art collecting by having many different price points and a variety of pieces to satisfy new and long-time collectors. 

 Mark your calendars for Saturday, March 25^th from 7:00pm - 10:00pm.  The party is at the Buffalo Arts Studio in Suite 500 in the Tri-Main Center at 2495 Main Street. Tickets are $40 on collectx25.eventbrite.com or directly from the Buffalo Arts Studio and the price includes hors d’oeuvres, an open bar of wine and beer, and a chance to own unique art.  (Those eager to see what will be up for auction can catch a free sneak preview at M&T Fourth Friday on March 24.)

I have donated a piece from my “Discarded Ancestors” series. This mixed media assemblage, ‘The Luncheon Party’ (13.5”h x 8.5”w x 2.25”d) combines found objects, photos, acrylic and recycled wood. It’s my way of pullng the city’s past and present together through layers of time.

Hope to see you at the party!
