The artistic community that calls the University at Buffalo Center for the Arts (UBCFA) home welcomes all on Tuesday, April 30, 2024, starting at 5 p.m. for Spring into Art. The UBCFA’s annual showcase turns the spotlight on the various visual and performing arts created in this hub of activity, which has a well-earned reputation for inclusivity, innovation, and quality.
Performances, art installations and exhibits, film screenings, a printmaking station, artist talks, and a student art sale are all part of the evening’s program, which is free to attend and open to the public. Complimentary refreshments will be available, and parking is free. Visitors can expect to experience a taste of what the UBCFA offers throughout the year thanks to the faculty, staff, and students who create in its studios, rehearsal halls, and performance spaces.
Spring into Art is presented by the Center for the Arts in collaboration with the departments of Art, Media Study, Music, and Theatre and Dance, the Arts Management Program, and the UB Art Galleries.
Live theatrical, dance, and musical student performances will take place in the atrium from 5 to 7 p.m., along with a printmaking t-shirt station.
“Spring into Art has become a highlighted event of the UBCFA’s mission to provide the greater community access to where art is made and experienced on the UB campus,” said Jamie Enser, executive director. “We welcome both our university members and the greater Western New York Community to get a behind-the-scenes look at the student work that happens here daily,” she added.
Among the many events scheduled is a special artist talk with Visiting Artist Wuon-Gean Ho, whose exhibition The Heart’s Sight is currently on view in the UB Art Galleries. This talk will take place at 7:00 p.m. in the UBCFA’s Second Floor Gallery.
A full schedule of activities is available online.
