The Burchfield Penney and SUNY Buffalo State are currently searching for an EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR for the Burchfield Penney.
We learned sadly that our friend Phyllis Lutwack passed away on February 9, 2018. She and her husband Wilton were tremendous supporters of the museum from its earliest years. In 1999, Phyllis received the Esprit de Corps Award for Council/Board Members. She was a member of the Burchfield Penney Art Center’s Collectors Club, whose financial support enables the museum to purchase work for the collection. Her gentle, friendly presence will be sorely missed.

With great sadness, the Burchfield Penney Art Center mourns the loss of Wendell Castle, the internationally celebrated artist who died on January 20th at the age of 85. For more than five decades, his creative energies never waned. He truly changed the worlds of sculpture and furniture design to reflect a uniquely contemporary aesthetic, enticing viewers to ponder the vocabulary of his works, which can be mysterious, beautiful, surreal, irreverent, and humorous. He embraced challenges to evolve forms and production techniques in service to his vision.
