On this laid-back Infringement Monday, we took a small respite from the music; vocalist must rest their vocals after all.

This was a day to appreciate the many visual artists in the festival. Most of the pieces I discuss will continue to hang for the duration of the festival.

Some of you are in your hermit era, and that’s OK. Buffalo Infringement 2024 also presents Local Music Video Show all day for your viewing pleasure. Check them out HERE for FB, and HERE for IG.

Here is a list of exhibits on display:

Amy’s Place

A series of Chihuahua Paintings and more by John Blake
“Art show with paintings and mixed media done in the style of cartoons featuring mostly Chihuahuas as well as other subjects.”

My Precious Paper Poopsies by Brigitte Morency
“I make collages of beloved pets, both my own and others’, using paper cut out from magazines.”

Oil Painting by Eamon McCallion
“My goal is to paint what I see. I try see art everywhere in Buffalo’s urban environment and when a specific image resonates, I make note of it, photograph it and eventually incorporate it into my work.”

Caffe Aroma

Pop Up Art Market (curated by Proprietor Michaela) – 7p.m. – 10 p.m.
“Artists are welcome to bring their art and set up at the market on the Elmwood side patio. We are hoping this is the start of a monthly event.”

Hanging origami by Tyliyah
“Origami and ivy backdrop and hanging origami crans, butterflies, tulips, and much more and polariods that can attach to the end of the hanging origami.”

Milkie’s on Elmwood

Micro Animations 2023-2024 by Dave Mawer
“a series of short-duration animations of generative works made with a risograph machine and a pen plotter. This animation will run in the window of Milkies on the Utica side of the venue.”

Ephemerality by Leslie Fineberg
“Ephemerality — “from the Greek word ἐφήμερος, meaning ‘lasting only one day’ is the concept of things being transitory, existing only briefly.” Visual art, mixed media.”

Stitches by Amy Lynn by Amy Duengfelder
