We took a cruise through Buffalo's newest museum and it gets a big thumbs up. Here are a few quick clips of some of things you'll see when you visit.

We had a chance to meet with Douglas Dreishpoon at the Albright-Knox for a sneak peak at the new Action Abstraction exhibition he is overseeing at the gallery. It is rare to see art as it is being taken out of crates and mounted, but that's exactly what we experienced when we showed up to talk about this amazing collection of works from Pollock, de Kooning, and other American artists, which will be on display starting next week...

On Friday night the Mark Freeland exhibit opened to great enthusiasm at the Alrbight-Knox Collector's Gallery. Stepping into the gallery is probably what walking on a rainbow might be like, vibrant colors every which way you look...

Ted Pietrzak, Director of the Burchfield-Penney Art Center joins Artvoice TV to discuss the recent ribbon cutting for the complex, the gallery's connection to Buffalo, and what we can expect from the Burchfield in the upcoming months! More info at yournewburchfieldpenney...

Last Tuesday (May 5, 2008) AV joined Ted Pietrzak, executive director of the Burchfield-Penney Art Center, and a host of other guests on a tour of the Burchfield-Penney's new facility. Construction continues, but the end is in sight: The new museum and education center will be handed over to the Burchfield-Penney in August, debut to the public in September, and begin hosting exhibits in November.
