Yesterday, Kelly Dudzik from Channel 2 News stopped by CEPA to chat with Executive Director Ben Hickey about a few of the upcoming Portrait of Buffalo II events.
Consider adding artwork by the groundbreaking artist Lawrence Brose to your collection. Each of the prints currently on view at the Burchfield Penney Art Center’s exhibition CAGE: A Filmic Circus on Metaphors on Vision. View the collection HERE. Proceeds support our archives and the Lawrence Brose Legacy Fund. If you would like more information about our archives and our plans for the future, please contact our Archivist, Rachel Nicolosi at rachel@cepagallery.org.
Spend your summer with us! Below are 8 different events happening this summer at CEPA Gallery:

On May 15th at 6:00 PM, join Michael at CEPA for a visual presentation that will appeal to photographers with a variety of interests, including architecture, engineering, history, and urban exploration.
On April 16th, CEPA's Executive Director, Ben Hickey, stopped by Channel 4 to discuss the legacy of Lawrence Brose. Check out the interview HERE.
It is with a heavy heart that I write this. Lawrence Brose, acclaimed artist and longtime CEPA director, has passed away. I met him when I was hired to lead CEPA. We spoke often and grew close. His energy and passion were infectious. I am forever changed because I had the privilege of knowing him. -Ben Hickey Executive Director CEPA
