In recognition of the artists of Western New York and our role as the center of record for the arts of this region, the Burchfield Penney Art Center is pleased to host the second members' exhibition in the museum’s history. This celebration of artistic expression in our community is important. It was fitting that the final exhibition in our Rockwell Hall galleries was our first members' exhibition, and now, more than three years after the new museum opened to the public, we are excited to host The Artists Among Us II.
