Diverse offerings on view, including contemporary art surveys, traditional crafts and works in mixed disciplines and materials. Don't miss the immersive-data-generative-media-robotics installation by Stephanie Rothenberg and Suzanne Thotpe: Serenades for Settling, which was developed in studio residency at FEED.

What better thing to do on a rainy day in Buffalo than visit a museum. Well, the Burchfield Penney Art Center did not disappoint. We especially enjoyed seeing the variety of art in the spacious galleries. The furniture on display was most interesting.

What a treat it was to go the museum today with my family. The Burchfield has great variety in their exhibits, which are thoughtfully curated and hung. The gift shop was a fun experience too. It was an excellent experience for the older, middle-aged, and teenaged people in my party. I highly recommend it and never leave reviews, which just goes to show how impressed I have been.

A wonderful institution Buffalo is lucky to have. In addition to curating stunning art exhibits, it’s a great place to host an event utilizing their open space second floor/patio, auditorium, or first floor workshop rooms. Particularly appreciated their unique glass exhibit
