Buffalo Is An Artsy City?
Buffalo is a great city for all sorts of things, whether it's sports, food, or entertainment; you can pretty much find it in the 716. But, exactly how artsy is Buffalo?
Being that we live in Buffalo, it's sometimes easy to forget how great the arts are in our area.
With multiple world-class museums, galleries, theatres, and music venues all across Western New York, there are plenty of options to fill your cup with the arts and those options range the gambit.
We have great art everywhere, from all of the murals that pepper the city to the art installations that pop up like the Albright-Knox Northland gallery.
Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it.
–Andy Warhol.
