The Fine Arts Department and the Art Education Department are proud to join forces with the Buffalo Public Schools and the Buffalo Olmsted Parks Conservancy in the Delaware Park Tree Planting on Saturday, October 27, from 9:00 a.m. to noon.
Buffalo State students, under the guidance of Nate Naetzker, lecturer of fine arts, and in cooperation with the Art Education Department, were exploring Frederick Law Olmsted through the lens of the German conceptual artist Joseph Beuys's concept of social sculpture. Buffalo State Art Education students will be working with Buffalo Public Schools students and teachers planting 150 trees in the Great Meadow at Delaware Park. An exhibition of student work will take place in the Atrium Gallery of Rockwell Hall starting November 26. Nancy Spector, associate curator of education at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, will curate the exhibit. A reception will be held on Thursday, November 29, from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. in the atrium. All are welcome to attend! This is a Year of the City event.
