‘CITY OF NIGHT’– AUGUST 17th




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.
