The Democratic State Senate and Assembly candidates will debate the issues in a “Meet the Candidates” forum from 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesday in the auditorium at the Burchfield Penney Art Center, 1300 Elmwood Ave.
The six-course series is a studio art program suitable for students of all ages.
Being able to intern under the incredible staff at the Burchfield Penney has taught me so many skills that I will be able to look back on the rest of my career. Working on and completing so many tasks throughout this summer has made everything I have learned in the class room come to life.
After a 2-week hiatus, This Week in ALP made up for lost time (though is any time ever truly lost?) by plunging even more fully into the murky waters of the Barge project.
In a new anthology, editor Jed Perl includes pages from the journals of Charles Burchfield as part of Writings from the Age of Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art and Minimalism.

I really felt a sense of family here at the Burchfield, between the other interns and my supervisors. There was always conversation, helping one another in our projects, and encouraging each other to be successful at the Burchfield and our ultimate goals.
These last ten weeks have gone by too quickly. Every day here was an exciting new opportunity to learn about the arts in Western New York, and I am sad that it is time to go.
