Brilliance: The Stanford Lipsey Art Glass Collection, is both worldwide in origin and world-class in quality. It features 50 works of art glass by 45 artists from 11 countries including works by internationally celebrated glass artists Harvey Littleton, Greg Fidler, John Healey, Lino Tagliapietra, Michael Taylor, and many other of the most prominent artists in the field.
Collected over three decades, The Stanford Lipsey Art Glass Collection is a gift from Judith C. Lipsey and her late husband, Stan, the former publisher of The Buffalo News. The Lipseys made their gift in honor of Burchfield Penney Director Emeritus Dr. Anthony Bannon in recognition of his and the Burchfield Penney’s contribution to the arts and cultural life of Western New York.
Please join us in celebrating the Lipsey’s donation!
Leroy Townes is an original Buffalo Americana band performing vinyl-era inspired folk-rock with a shot of country. They have been creating their songs with the help of some of Buffalo’s best musicians for over a decade now. Whether working in bars, festivals, breweries or in a forest, the band has crafted their own sound that evokes the world we grew up in, surrounded by nature, vinyl and the open road.
