CEPA Gallery and Just Buffalo Literary Center are proud to held the Writing with Light exhibition, featuring work by students from three Buffalo Public Schools: Native American Magnet, Frederick Law Olmsted and Highgate Heights. Writing with Light is a joint venture between CEPA Gallery and Just Buffalo Literary Center, encompassing a series of original education programs. These comprehensive in-school, after-school, and summer education programs expand opportunities for a diverse group of youth throughout Buffalo and Erie County. Writing with Light enables students to engage in challenging, thought-provoking activities that integrate core curricular subjects with the literary and photographic arts. These multidisciplinary initiatives have been successful in connecting young people with their families, neighborhoods, and cultural heritage, encouraging self-exploration and creative self-expression. Work from two Writing with Light programs - Picturing Poetry and Flash Fiction - were on view from June 25 through August 22 in CEPA's Flux and Passageway Galleries.

On Saturday, June 28, CEPA and Just Buffalo participated in the Buffalo Homecoming Block Party, which took place on the 600 Block of Main Street. Also on view were two MFA Thesis Exhibitions by UB graduate students: Scripted Image: (Re) Visions of Authority by Kevin Charles Kline (Underground Gallery), and Enthusiast: Calls and Orders by Joel Brenden (Market Arcade Atrium).
