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: Millie Chen\, "Turbulence"
DESCRIPTION:Buffalo Arts Studio is pleased to present Turbulence\, a series of drawings by artist Millie Chen\, on view from January 23 through March 14\, 2026. An opening reception will be held on Friday\, January 23\, from 5:00 to 8:00 pm as part of M&T Fourth Friday at Tri-Main. \nThis new series of drawings emerges from years of Chen walking along both banks of the Onguiaahra (Haudenosaunee) or Niagara River and gazing in awe at its flow. These drawings focus on river sites that have historic and symbolic significance\, embodied in the turbulence created by disturbances under the water’s surface.   \nAll of the drawings are linked by the use of grids. Chen harnesses the grid as a structural and theoretical device for creating complex\, contemplative images\, tapping into it as a powerful generative mechanism where each part and the whole are interconnected  The grid is used to both retain and release control\, embracing unpredictability and “errors” to express the uncertainty of being human. The rigid grid structure\, paired with the unstable imagery\, invites chance and intuition.  \nFor more information about Buffalo Arts Studio\, please visit www.buffaloartsstudio.org

SUMMARY:Buffalo Art: Victoria-Idongesit Udondian\, “Nsinam me ke ndi Owo”
DESCRIPTION:Buffalo Arts Studio is thrilled to present Nsinam me ke ndi Owo\, a solo exhibition by international artist Victoria-Idongesit Udondian. Featuring a multisensory installation of mixed-media works spanning textile\, sculpture\, video\, and sound\, the exhibition will be on view from January 23 through March 14\, 2026. An opening reception will be held on Friday\, January 23\, from 5:00 to 8:00 pm as part of M&T Fourth Friday at Tri-Main. \nThe exhibition immerses viewers in a dimly lit gallery populated by suspended shrouds of repurposed fabric\, cast from human forms and hovering above beds of flowers and hands reaching upward toward their silhouettes. These floating bodies are animated by projected video of ocean waves and enveloping sound\, scattering light across their forms. Central to the exhibition is How Can I Be Nobody\, a 10-minute video created in collaboration with immigrant communities in the New York area. The work weaves together personal testimony\, news media\, and archival footage to examine migration\, labor\, and post-colonial histories.  \nFor more information about Buffalo Arts Studio\, please visit www.buffaloartsstudio.org

SUMMARY:Buffalo Art — Surrender to Mercy - Final Works by Muhammad Z. Zaman at Hunt Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Why make art when you know you are going to die? \nPerhaps this question does not make much sense to an artist. While gallery visitors may arrive with ready answers\, much of our lives are spent in quiet denial of our own ending. Nearly all of us will experience it: lying in a bed while our bodies fail or\, and maybe worse\, sitting at its edge while someone we love goes\, slowly or quickly. Muhammad Z. Zaman was given the questionable gift of knowing — not without hope — that his time was limited. Asked what to do with that time\, his response was simple and unwavering: How could I ever not make art? Surrender to Mercy is Zaman’s answer. \nPlease join us for the opening of Surrender to Mercy\, an exhibition of final works by Muhammad Z. Zaman\, opening Friday\, January 16\, 2026\, from 6–9 PM at Hunt Art Gallery\, 403 Main Street\, Buffalo\, NY. The exhibition presents paintings and drawings created as Zaman faced the knowledge of his limited time\, reflecting his unwavering commitment to life\, beauty\, and human connection. The exhibition will remain on view through March 14\, 2026. \nIf you had spoken to Zaman a year ago\, after he came to understand the shape of his remaining days\, you could not help but notice the joy braided tightly with sorrow. He was living more directly with the essential: more love\, more family\, more meals shared\, more trips taken\, more art. In a moment shaped by renewed political cruelty and public fear\, Zaman’s response was simple and insistent: Keep going. As if to ask\, are you increasing the share of mercy in the world? Why weren’t you before? \nThis question sits at the heart of the exhibition. In the year leading up to his recent death on December 9\, 2025\, he worked with extraordinary clarity\, urgency\, and care—deepening both his studio practice and his vision for shared creative experience. Chemotional 2\, a community-centered project series generously funded by ASI and NYSCA\, served as a key source of inspiration for the exhibition. The project’s public engagement was carried out through publicly shared works and videos documenting the artistic process. This format supported the project’s goals of prioritizing creative connection and intimate access to the creative process\, fostering reflection on our shared humanity through illness\, grief\, and hope. \nZaman’s work solidified over a decade ago around an affirmation of life. Layered compositions rooted in public engagement\, Calligraffiti\, tensions between language\, legibility\, and meaning in sprawling English\, Bengali\, and Arabic\, inviting viewers to “read the illegible\,” encouraging curiosity\, mutual respect\, and reflection despite the impossibility of fully understanding one another. Again and again\, in moments when violence was carried out in the name of power\, slaying innocents as collateral to a nation’s war against its own shadow\, Zaman’s work—insistent\, undeniable—was to say there is beauty in the lives that we ignore\, and humanity. That innate sense of the preciousness of life takes on new dimension now. \nIn this body of work\, Zaman followed the mark on the paper day by day\, allowing color\, shape\, and gesture to map fear\, hope\, exhaustion\, determination\, and grace. Chemotional 2 lives within Surrender to Mercy as a legacy of that process—an affirmation of art as a communal\, healing act and a reflection of Zaman’s enduring commitment to connection\, mercy\, and shared humanity. \nThe works in Surrender to Mercy were all made while Zaman knew that he was going to die. Some of these were made on good days. He relocated his studio from his longtime residence at Buffalo Arts Studio to his home\, where he could paint whenever it was physically possible to do so. These paintings are evidence of will and vision. Zaman says his hand has become more assured in this time\, less careful plotting of his calligraphic script\, less time wasted in doubt and bullshit. Some works\, Zaman’s drawings made in the waiting rooms of Roswell or in hospital beds\, are the literal inscription of time lived. Taking a line for a walk\, it leads you by the hand\, out of fear into grace. \nWe would like to thank M. Delmonico Connolly for his assistance in writing this statement\, following a recent intimate interview with the artist\, and ASI and NYSCA for their support.

SUMMARY:Buffalo Art: Millie Chen\, "Turbulence"
DESCRIPTION:Buffalo Arts Studio is pleased to present Turbulence\, a series of drawings by artist Millie Chen\, on view from January 23 through March 14\, 2026. An opening reception will be held on Friday\, January 23\, from 5:00 to 8:00 pm as part of M&T Fourth Friday at Tri-Main. \nThis new series of drawings emerges from years of Chen walking along both banks of the Onguiaahra (Haudenosaunee) or Niagara River and gazing in awe at its flow. These drawings focus on river sites that have historic and symbolic significance\, embodied in the turbulence created by disturbances under the water’s surface.   \nAll of the drawings are linked by the use of grids. Chen harnesses the grid as a structural and theoretical device for creating complex\, contemplative images\, tapping into it as a powerful generative mechanism where each part and the whole are interconnected  The grid is used to both retain and release control\, embracing unpredictability and “errors” to express the uncertainty of being human. The rigid grid structure\, paired with the unstable imagery\, invites chance and intuition.  \nFor more information about Buffalo Arts Studio\, please visit www.buffaloartsstudio.org

SUMMARY:Buffalo Art: Victoria-Idongesit Udondian\, “Nsinam me ke ndi Owo”
DESCRIPTION:Buffalo Arts Studio is thrilled to present Nsinam me ke ndi Owo\, a solo exhibition by international artist Victoria-Idongesit Udondian. Featuring a multisensory installation of mixed-media works spanning textile\, sculpture\, video\, and sound\, the exhibition will be on view from January 23 through March 14\, 2026. An opening reception will be held on Friday\, January 23\, from 5:00 to 8:00 pm as part of M&T Fourth Friday at Tri-Main. \nThe exhibition immerses viewers in a dimly lit gallery populated by suspended shrouds of repurposed fabric\, cast from human forms and hovering above beds of flowers and hands reaching upward toward their silhouettes. These floating bodies are animated by projected video of ocean waves and enveloping sound\, scattering light across their forms. Central to the exhibition is How Can I Be Nobody\, a 10-minute video created in collaboration with immigrant communities in the New York area. The work weaves together personal testimony\, news media\, and archival footage to examine migration\, labor\, and post-colonial histories.  \nFor more information about Buffalo Arts Studio\, please visit www.buffaloartsstudio.org

SUMMARY:Buffalo Art — Surrender to Mercy - Final Works by Muhammad Z. Zaman at Hunt Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Why make art when you know you are going to die? \nPerhaps this question does not make much sense to an artist. While gallery visitors may arrive with ready answers\, much of our lives are spent in quiet denial of our own ending. Nearly all of us will experience it: lying in a bed while our bodies fail or\, and maybe worse\, sitting at its edge while someone we love goes\, slowly or quickly. Muhammad Z. Zaman was given the questionable gift of knowing — not without hope — that his time was limited. Asked what to do with that time\, his response was simple and unwavering: How could I ever not make art? Surrender to Mercy is Zaman’s answer. \nPlease join us for the opening of Surrender to Mercy\, an exhibition of final works by Muhammad Z. Zaman\, opening Friday\, January 16\, 2026\, from 6–9 PM at Hunt Art Gallery\, 403 Main Street\, Buffalo\, NY. The exhibition presents paintings and drawings created as Zaman faced the knowledge of his limited time\, reflecting his unwavering commitment to life\, beauty\, and human connection. The exhibition will remain on view through March 14\, 2026. \nIf you had spoken to Zaman a year ago\, after he came to understand the shape of his remaining days\, you could not help but notice the joy braided tightly with sorrow. He was living more directly with the essential: more love\, more family\, more meals shared\, more trips taken\, more art. In a moment shaped by renewed political cruelty and public fear\, Zaman’s response was simple and insistent: Keep going. As if to ask\, are you increasing the share of mercy in the world? Why weren’t you before? \nThis question sits at the heart of the exhibition. In the year leading up to his recent death on December 9\, 2025\, he worked with extraordinary clarity\, urgency\, and care—deepening both his studio practice and his vision for shared creative experience. Chemotional 2\, a community-centered project series generously funded by ASI and NYSCA\, served as a key source of inspiration for the exhibition. The project’s public engagement was carried out through publicly shared works and videos documenting the artistic process. This format supported the project’s goals of prioritizing creative connection and intimate access to the creative process\, fostering reflection on our shared humanity through illness\, grief\, and hope. \nZaman’s work solidified over a decade ago around an affirmation of life. Layered compositions rooted in public engagement\, Calligraffiti\, tensions between language\, legibility\, and meaning in sprawling English\, Bengali\, and Arabic\, inviting viewers to “read the illegible\,” encouraging curiosity\, mutual respect\, and reflection despite the impossibility of fully understanding one another. Again and again\, in moments when violence was carried out in the name of power\, slaying innocents as collateral to a nation’s war against its own shadow\, Zaman’s work—insistent\, undeniable—was to say there is beauty in the lives that we ignore\, and humanity. That innate sense of the preciousness of life takes on new dimension now. \nIn this body of work\, Zaman followed the mark on the paper day by day\, allowing color\, shape\, and gesture to map fear\, hope\, exhaustion\, determination\, and grace. Chemotional 2 lives within Surrender to Mercy as a legacy of that process—an affirmation of art as a communal\, healing act and a reflection of Zaman’s enduring commitment to connection\, mercy\, and shared humanity. \nThe works in Surrender to Mercy were all made while Zaman knew that he was going to die. Some of these were made on good days. He relocated his studio from his longtime residence at Buffalo Arts Studio to his home\, where he could paint whenever it was physically possible to do so. These paintings are evidence of will and vision. Zaman says his hand has become more assured in this time\, less careful plotting of his calligraphic script\, less time wasted in doubt and bullshit. Some works\, Zaman’s drawings made in the waiting rooms of Roswell or in hospital beds\, are the literal inscription of time lived. Taking a line for a walk\, it leads you by the hand\, out of fear into grace. \nWe would like to thank M. Delmonico Connolly for his assistance in writing this statement\, following a recent intimate interview with the artist\, and ASI and NYSCA for their support.

SUMMARY:Buffalo Theater:  'Sheltered' at Jewish Repertory Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Sheltered\nby Alix Sobler | Directed by Kyle Lo Conti \n\nFebruary 5 – March 1\n\n\nThis powerful and emotionally charged play delves into a little-known chapter of history\, exploring the moral complexities and personal sacrifices involved in rescue efforts during the Holocaust. Set against the backdrop of 1939\, just before World War II fully erupts\, the play follows Evelyn and Leonard Kirsch\, an American Jewish couple who choose not to flee from danger\, but to step into it. Their mission: to rescue 40 Jewish children from Nazi-occupied Europe and bring them to safety in the United States. \nHighlighting the human cost of heroism and the fragility of moral certainty\, this fascinating play questions how far one should go to help others\, especially when the personal toll is high and the outcomes uncertain. Through sharp dialogue and complex characters\, Sheltered becomes both a historical drama and a reflection on contemporary questions of responsibility\, identity\, and compassion. \nStarring: Rebecca Elkin\, Peter Horn\, Gretchen Didio\, Maria Pedro\, and Adam Yellen

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: Millie Chen\, "Turbulence"
DESCRIPTION:Buffalo Arts Studio is pleased to present Turbulence\, a series of drawings by artist Millie Chen\, on view from January 23 through March 14\, 2026. An opening reception will be held on Friday\, January 23\, from 5:00 to 8:00 pm as part of M&T Fourth Friday at Tri-Main. \nThis new series of drawings emerges from years of Chen walking along both banks of the Onguiaahra (Haudenosaunee) or Niagara River and gazing in awe at its flow. These drawings focus on river sites that have historic and symbolic significance\, embodied in the turbulence created by disturbances under the water’s surface.   \nAll of the drawings are linked by the use of grids. Chen harnesses the grid as a structural and theoretical device for creating complex\, contemplative images\, tapping into it as a powerful generative mechanism where each part and the whole are interconnected  The grid is used to both retain and release control\, embracing unpredictability and “errors” to express the uncertainty of being human. The rigid grid structure\, paired with the unstable imagery\, invites chance and intuition.  \nFor more information about Buffalo Arts Studio\, please visit www.buffaloartsstudio.org

SUMMARY:Buffalo Art: Victoria-Idongesit Udondian\, “Nsinam me ke ndi Owo”
DESCRIPTION:Buffalo Arts Studio is thrilled to present Nsinam me ke ndi Owo\, a solo exhibition by international artist Victoria-Idongesit Udondian. Featuring a multisensory installation of mixed-media works spanning textile\, sculpture\, video\, and sound\, the exhibition will be on view from January 23 through March 14\, 2026. An opening reception will be held on Friday\, January 23\, from 5:00 to 8:00 pm as part of M&T Fourth Friday at Tri-Main. \nThe exhibition immerses viewers in a dimly lit gallery populated by suspended shrouds of repurposed fabric\, cast from human forms and hovering above beds of flowers and hands reaching upward toward their silhouettes. These floating bodies are animated by projected video of ocean waves and enveloping sound\, scattering light across their forms. Central to the exhibition is How Can I Be Nobody\, a 10-minute video created in collaboration with immigrant communities in the New York area. The work weaves together personal testimony\, news media\, and archival footage to examine migration\, labor\, and post-colonial histories.  \nFor more information about Buffalo Arts Studio\, please visit www.buffaloartsstudio.org
