About

Buffalo Arts Studio subsidizes studio space for under-represented and emerging artists. Rent and utilities are our largest expense in the artists' studio program. Buffalo Arts Studio presents emerging regional, national and international artists in ten solo exhibitions and one group exhibition each year. BAS staff select artists from a public call, install exhibitions, develop invitations and all press releases, write catalogs, and uninstall exhibits. Artists are provided with shipping fees, travel fees, and a small honorarium. The exhibition program has a balance of expenses ranging from artists costs, staffing, to rent and utilities. Also included is a gift shop to further promote the artist's work.
