Draw the Line: Crisis Services Community Poster Competition
Education Corridor

In conjunction with Sexual Assault Awareness Month (April), this exhibition will feature posters and artwork selected from a county-wide open competition conducted by Crisis Services. High school and college students and senior citizens were invited to submit artwork that spoke out against family and domestic violence, elder abuse, rape and sexual assault. A jury of artists and service providers selected the winning entries which will be on view.
Musical Burchfields
February 21 - June 13, 2004
Burchfield's journals reveal very little direct influence of other artists' works on his painting, but the monumental significance of natural sounds and music is clearly evident. Most importantly for Burchfield, music conjured up visions and memories. Music was inseparable from his aesthetic. The artist strove to achieve in his own painting the same heroic romanticism that he heard in music, particularly that of Beethoven and Sibelius. This exhibition is presented in conjunction with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra’s tribute to Burchfield on January 30 and 31, 2004. In the concert, Music Director JoAnn Falletta will lead the BPO in performing Morton Gould’s Burchfield Gallery and Symphony No. 2 in D Major by Jean Sibelius.
Continuing Exhibitions
Remembering Robert N. Blair
October 25, 2003 - January 18, 2004
Selectioe collection will pay homage to Robert N. Blair (1912-2003), who was recognized as one of Western New York’s most accomplished watercolor painters. Manypeople consider his most important series to be his first-hand observations in Europe during World War II. Selections from the generous gift made by the artist in 1985 will be featured with later works, including his landscapes of Western New York.
Images of War
October 25, 2003 - January 18, 2004
In addition to the Robert N. Blair collection of World War II watercolors, the Burchfield-Penney Art Center’s collection contains other works that examine the effects of war, with images of its participants and its victims. This exhibition will include Tanya Ganson’s works on the Russian Revolution, Patty Wallace’s diptych referencing the Vietnam War, Stephen Saracino's image of war in the Middle East, and Endi Poskovic’s images relating to the Bosnian war, as well as works by Harvey Breverman, Wes Olmsted, Charles Cary Rumsey, Esther Hoyt Sawyer and Robert Senkpiel.
In Context: Art and Text
October 25, 2003 - February 8, 2004
Exhibited works from the collection will be a resource for an Arts-In-Education collaborative project with Kenmore West High School. The theme of the exhibition is the relationship between visual art and written language. Selected paintings, drawings, photographs, prints and sculpture will explore the ways that artists use text in their art, incorporating passages of text, words or single letters as a meaningful part of the composition. The artists represented include Charles Agel, Nancy Dwyer, Marion Faller, Bonnie Gordon, Richard Kegler, Robert Lax, Joseph Piccillo, Russell Ram, Robert D. Schroeck and Andrew Topolski.
BULLYING: Ken-Ton Students Respond through Art
Education Corridor
November 8, 2003 - February 1, 2004
This exhibition features projects from the Ken-Ton Schools that were designed to confront the issue of bullying. Students at Kenmore East High School created paper casts of joined pairs of their hands encouraging group camaraderie and successfully broke down boundaries in the classroom. Third grade students at Roosevelt Elementary School constructed multicolored window-like transparencies that incorporated personal statements and responses to bullying.
American Land, American Life
November 15, 2003 - February 8, 2004
Few artists or writers have been able to show so distinctively the amazing characteristics of the natural world as Burchfield. He drew inspiration from authors such as Henry David Thoreau and John Burroughs, and poets Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, William Cullen Bryant and John Greenleaf Whittier. At the age of twenty, already immersed in the idea of recording his intense impressions, he decided to become an artist instead of a naturalist. This exhibition demonstrates Burchfield’s ethos through paintings, drawings and prints from the Burchfield-Penney Art Center’s collection, the largest, most comprehensive Burchfield Collection in the world.
Recent Acquisitions of Craft Art from the Collection
July 26, 2003 April 18, 2004
