SUMMARY:Buffalo Art: AP Gorny —  'Different from the Rest' at Central Library
DESCRIPTION:The Rare Book Room of the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library is honored to acquire and exhibit a selection of artist books and prints made by AP (Anthony Peter) Gorny. Printmaker\, photographer\, sculptor\, bookmaker\, performer — none of these definitions truly capture AP as an artist. A graduate of SUNY Buffalo State University and Yale University’s School of Art\, AP’s artwork is in over 50 institutional collections\, including the Vatican Library\, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, and the Library of Congress. \nThough many of AP’s professional accomplishments extend far beyond Buffalo\, he is a product of this city. AP was born into the insular Polish communities of Buffalo in the mid-twentieth century. When he finally ventured beyond his neighborhood\, the expansive cultural experiences available to him in Buffalo helped shape the artist he was to become. Using oral histories\, digitized materials from Buffalo’s cultural institutions\, and the artist’s own work\, the Library’s Special Collections Department has woven the disparate pieces of AP’s career to show an artist formed in a specific place and moment\, working outside established channels to create a world for himself. \nThe exhibit AP Gorny: Different from the Rest will showcase artist books recently acquired by the Library’s Rare Book Department in close cooperation with AP\, as well as never-before-seen archival documentation and video footage made available through the digitization efforts of the Grosvenor Room. \nSee https://www.buffalolib.org/locations-hours/central-downtown-buffalo for hours. \nOpening reception at Central Library on January 29\, 2026 from 5:30 pm–8:00 pm. Light refreshments will be provided; the curator and artist will be present to talk about the exhibit. Details: https://buffalolib.libcal.com/event/16084892

SUMMARY:Buffalo Art: AP Gorny —  'Different from the Rest' at Central Library
DESCRIPTION:The Rare Book Room of the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library is honored to acquire and exhibit a selection of artist books and prints made by AP (Anthony Peter) Gorny. Printmaker\, photographer\, sculptor\, bookmaker\, performer — none of these definitions truly capture AP as an artist. A graduate of SUNY Buffalo State University and Yale University’s School of Art\, AP’s artwork is in over 50 institutional collections\, including the Vatican Library\, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, and the Library of Congress. \nThough many of AP’s professional accomplishments extend far beyond Buffalo\, he is a product of this city. AP was born into the insular Polish communities of Buffalo in the mid-twentieth century. When he finally ventured beyond his neighborhood\, the expansive cultural experiences available to him in Buffalo helped shape the artist he was to become. Using oral histories\, digitized materials from Buffalo’s cultural institutions\, and the artist’s own work\, the Library’s Special Collections Department has woven the disparate pieces of AP’s career to show an artist formed in a specific place and moment\, working outside established channels to create a world for himself. \nThe exhibit AP Gorny: Different from the Rest will showcase artist books recently acquired by the Library’s Rare Book Department in close cooperation with AP\, as well as never-before-seen archival documentation and video footage made available through the digitization efforts of the Grosvenor Room. \nSee https://www.buffalolib.org/locations-hours/central-downtown-buffalo for hours. \nOpening reception at Central Library on January 29\, 2026 from 5:30 pm–8:00 pm. Light refreshments will be provided; the curator and artist will be present to talk about the exhibit. Details: https://buffalolib.libcal.com/event/16084892

SUMMARY:Buffalo Art: Bits by Bits - Six Artists from Buffalo’s Progressive Studio
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition presents new work by six artists from Starlight Studio and Art Gallery\, a progressive art studio in Buffalo\, NY that supports adults with disabilities in developing independent\, self-directed art practices. Rather than organizing around a shared theme\, the exhibition highlights individual artistic voices—each artist working toward ambitious\, personally meaningful projects developed over many months with curatorial and production support. \nMathew Sharp’s paintings blend expressive color fields with playful figures. Eyes\, ears\, and other surprises often emerge from what at first appears to be purely abstract. Larell Potter explores moral extremes—good and evil\, angels and devils—through drawings that are dark\, funny\, and emotionally raw\, channeling the energy of graphic novels and adult animation. Shamika Long’s intricate layered patterns become backdrop to animal portraits that play with scale and finish\, collage and composition. Angelina Blackmer uses colored pencil and marker to conjure cozy\, witchy interiors and lush outdoor dreamscapes that feel both nostalgic and escapist. Andy Calderon begins with prints and builds on them\, layering strong forms and bold colors. His work often features closely positioned faces—sometimes human\, sometimes animal—set in vibrant gardens or surrounded by symbolic repetition. Kelly Evans brings a sparkly\, goth sensibility to scenes that blend shadow and charm. Her drawings often hint at darker moods or quiet intensity\, layered with glitter and personal symbolism that invite the viewer to look again and reconsider the everyday. \nTogether\, these artists offer six distinct visions—emphasizing experimentation\, ambition\, and voice. In bringing their work into a gallery setting\, Bits by Bits invites viewers to consider what artistic agency looks like when it’s supported\, respected\, and allowed to grow over time. \nUltimately\, Bits by Bits asks what happens when self-directed\, daily artmaking enters the space of the gallery. How does the shift from the rhythms of the studio to the structures of exhibition shape what we see—and what we value? The show invites viewers to reflect not just on the work itself\, but on the contexts that frame it: where creativity is nurtured\, where it is recognized\, and how those places intersect. \nCredits: \nBits by Bits is curated by Cléa Massiani and Emily Ebba Reynolds\, and realized with the support of Starlight Teaching Artists Lily Booth\, Sussan Giallombardo\, Olivia Long\, and Maggie Parks; Carrie Marcotte\, Starlight Program Director; Jason Seeley\, UB Art Galleries Preparator; and Anna Wager\, UB Art Galleries Curator of Exhibitions. \n

SUMMARY:Buffalo Art: Bits by Bits - Six Artists from Buffalo’s Progressive Studio
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition presents new work by six artists from Starlight Studio and Art Gallery\, a progressive art studio in Buffalo\, NY that supports adults with disabilities in developing independent\, self-directed art practices. Rather than organizing around a shared theme\, the exhibition highlights individual artistic voices—each artist working toward ambitious\, personally meaningful projects developed over many months with curatorial and production support. \nMathew Sharp’s paintings blend expressive color fields with playful figures. Eyes\, ears\, and other surprises often emerge from what at first appears to be purely abstract. Larell Potter explores moral extremes—good and evil\, angels and devils—through drawings that are dark\, funny\, and emotionally raw\, channeling the energy of graphic novels and adult animation. Shamika Long’s intricate layered patterns become backdrop to animal portraits that play with scale and finish\, collage and composition. Angelina Blackmer uses colored pencil and marker to conjure cozy\, witchy interiors and lush outdoor dreamscapes that feel both nostalgic and escapist. Andy Calderon begins with prints and builds on them\, layering strong forms and bold colors. His work often features closely positioned faces—sometimes human\, sometimes animal—set in vibrant gardens or surrounded by symbolic repetition. Kelly Evans brings a sparkly\, goth sensibility to scenes that blend shadow and charm. Her drawings often hint at darker moods or quiet intensity\, layered with glitter and personal symbolism that invite the viewer to look again and reconsider the everyday. \nTogether\, these artists offer six distinct visions—emphasizing experimentation\, ambition\, and voice. In bringing their work into a gallery setting\, Bits by Bits invites viewers to consider what artistic agency looks like when it’s supported\, respected\, and allowed to grow over time. \nUltimately\, Bits by Bits asks what happens when self-directed\, daily artmaking enters the space of the gallery. How does the shift from the rhythms of the studio to the structures of exhibition shape what we see—and what we value? The show invites viewers to reflect not just on the work itself\, but on the contexts that frame it: where creativity is nurtured\, where it is recognized\, and how those places intersect. \nCredits: \nBits by Bits is curated by Cléa Massiani and Emily Ebba Reynolds\, and realized with the support of Starlight Teaching Artists Lily Booth\, Sussan Giallombardo\, Olivia Long\, and Maggie Parks; Carrie Marcotte\, Starlight Program Director; Jason Seeley\, UB Art Galleries Preparator; and Anna Wager\, UB Art Galleries Curator of Exhibitions. \n

Rather than organizing around a shared theme\, the exhibition highlights individual artistic voices—each artist working toward ambitious\, personally meaningful projects developed over many months with curatorial and production support. \nMathew Sharp’s paintings blend expressive color fields with playful figures. Eyes\, ears\, and other surprises often emerge from what at first appears to be purely abstract. Larell Potter explores moral extremes—good and evil\, angels and devils—through drawings that are dark\, funny\, and emotionally raw\, channeling the energy of graphic novels and adult animation. Shamika Long’s intricate layered patterns become backdrop to animal portraits that play with scale and finish\, collage and composition. Angelina Blackmer uses colored pencil and marker to conjure cozy\, witchy interiors and lush outdoor dreamscapes that feel both nostalgic and escapist. Andy Calderon begins with prints and builds on them\, layering strong forms and bold colors. His work often features closely positioned faces—sometimes human\, sometimes animal—set in vibrant gardens or surrounded by symbolic repetition. Kelly Evans brings a sparkly\, goth sensibility to scenes that blend shadow and charm. Her drawings often hint at darker moods or quiet intensity\, layered with glitter and personal symbolism that invite the viewer to look again and reconsider the everyday. \nTogether\, these artists offer six distinct visions—emphasizing experimentation\, ambition\, and voice. In bringing their work into a gallery setting\, Bits by Bits invites viewers to consider what artistic agency looks like when it’s supported\, respected\, and allowed to grow over time. \nUltimately\, Bits by Bits asks what happens when self-directed\, daily artmaking enters the space of the gallery. How does the shift from the rhythms of the studio to the structures of exhibition shape what we see—and what we value? The show invites viewers to reflect not just on the work itself\, but on the contexts that frame it: where creativity is nurtured\, where it is recognized\, and how those places intersect. \nCredits: \nBits by Bits is curated by Cléa Massiani and Emily Ebba Reynolds\, and realized with the support of Starlight Teaching Artists Lily Booth\, Sussan Giallombardo\, Olivia Long\, and Maggie Parks; Carrie Marcotte\, Starlight Program Director; Jason Seeley\, UB Art Galleries Preparator; and Anna Wager\, UB Art Galleries Curator of Exhibitions. \n
