The second annual “City of Night” will transform the iconic
cluster of grain elevators, called “Silo City” into a spectacle of light, art
and performance. This free, open event includes new spaces to explore, an
interactive map to guide you through the site, a light garden of installations,
community art projects, kayak rentals, rock-climbing in a grain elevator and so
much more. Lead event coordinator, Dana Saylor, says “Emerging Leaders in the
Arts Buffalo is proud to coordinate this massive event that transformed so many
people’s perception of art and industrial heritage in 2012. We anticipate
double the crowd this time around.” There will be a beer & wine tent plus local food trucks
on hand throughout the night plus a variety of bands performing from 4pm until
well past midnight.
In addition
to the art installations and performances throughout the Silo City campus, The
American Warehouse building will host the 464 Art Fair, where local artisans
and businesses will have wares available for sale. This year, the Buffalo Society of Artists is sponsoring an
exhibition of art with a grain elevator theme. Two of my collages were chosen
for this special show.
Don’t miss
this unique and exciting evening.
