CEPA Gallery is honored to have played a major role in bringing Blues: a 5/14 Memorial to fruition. This public art project, catalyzed by a rare and prestigious special leadership grant that CEPA received from the NEA earlier this year, will continue through the Fall 2024. The project was designed by and granted to artist Brendan Bannon in conjunction with CEPA to honor those lost on May 14, 2022, at the Tops Supermarket on the East Side of Buffalo in a racist attack. Fourteen artists and community leaders were trained to deliver more than 90 trauma-informed workshops so far throughout Buffalo, reaching over 4,000 area residents of all ages.

In conjunction with CEPA Gallery’s current exhibition The Power of Resilience and Hope: Photography and the Holocaust: Then & Now, CEPA will install a temporary mural on Western New York Book Arts’  exterior wall on Mohawk st. The mural is inspired by project artist Mizin Shin’s #UseYourVoice series that is on display in CEPA’s passageway gallery. Shin’s project was a response to rising hate crimes as a way to speak out against racially motivated prejudice and violence.
