Featured Artists & Interviews

One of CEPA’s largest partnerships to date has been with Fujifilm who have supported students through unique collaborative opportunities, fellowships, and sponsored programs. Hear from three of our students, who have all been recently brought on as staff; Hope, Curtis, and Max, about their experience working with CEPA and Fujifilm.

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.

Please join us and noted Buffalo art collector Dr. Gerald Mead, on Saturday, April 1st, 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM for a second tour of the exhibition "Cindy Sherman Retrospective: Works from the Gerald Mead Collection" to discuss the unique significance of many of the works and his 28-year experience of collecting them.

CEPA is pleased to share the first of 8 video profiles of our 2015 CSA artists. This video features an interview with artist Anne Muntges for CEPA Gallery's innovative Community Supported Art (CSA) program, which commissioned eight Buffalo, NY-based artists to produce fifty “CSA shares” comprised of eight artworks each.
