Buffalo Central Terminal

Enjoy these photos from yesterday’s Wine Festival held at the Buffalo Central Terminal. A big thanks to all the vendors who came out to participate, and all our volunteers who helped make the event a success!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Second Annual Wine Fest at the Buffalo Central Terminal to be held on Saturday, June 28, 2008 from 12 noon to 5pm.

Event will feature wineries from throughout New York State, live music, and a
farmers market featuring food grown/made in New York.

Participating wineries will offer a sampling of their wines, and event attendees will be able to buy bottles of the featured wines straight from the Vineyards. With the rising cost of gas, event attendees are able to sample and taste many New York State wines in one place, without having to travel from vineyard to vineyard.

The farmers market supports local growers and vendors and offers event attendees to purchase items such as local blended teas, jams, and honey.

A raffle will be held, with a grand prize of two round trip tickets on Southwest Airlines.

Admissions tickets are $20 presale, and include unlimited wine tasting and a souvenir glass. Presale tickets are available at brownpapertickets.com or at Chateau Buffalo. Tickets are available for $25 at the door on the day of the event. You must be 21 years old or over to attend.

All activity will be held inside the historic Central Terminal, and therefore the event will be held rain or shine. All proceeds from the event will benefit the preservation and restoration of the Buffalo Central Terminal.

Stop by the Central Terminal today and see great student art work from schools across Western New York! The show runs from 11am-5pm.

Kick off the weekend before the Allentown Art Festival with a visit to an Art Exhibit at the Historic Buffalo Central Terminal.

The Student Celebration of the Visual Arts (SCVA) will grace the halls of the Buffalo Central Terminal for the fourth year in a row on Saturday, June 7th & Sunday, June 8th from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Student artwork will be on display from schools in Williamsville, Ken-Ton, Buffalo, Tonawanda, Lancaster, Cheektowaga, Alden, Canisius High School, and other private schools throughout the area will be on display.

If you have not seen the Central Terminal in its own entire artistic splendor, this is the perfect opportunity to do so. Refreshments will be available and admission is free.

For Immediate Release

Project Title: Lunchtime Training with Julie Perini

Date and Time: Saturday, June 21, 2008, 1:00pm

Location: Buffalo Central Terminal, 495 Paderewski Drive, Buffalo, NY

Julie Perini, a 2007 Fellow with the New York Foundation for the Arts, will bring her interdisciplinary art practice to the Buffalo Central Terminal on Saturday, June 21 at 1:00pm. Her event, Lunchtime Training with Julie Perini, will involve an audience of between 20 and 50 people from the Buffalo community. The event takes place at the Buffalo Central Terminal. The artist welcomes anyone who would like to participate.

To honor the history of the building, Perini has designed a participatory event for The Terminal. When the audience arrives, they will see a long banquet table occupying the center of the main concourse of The Terminal. Each audience member will be given instructions at his or her seat, along with an ingredient for a summer salad. The audience members will pass large bowls down the rows of the banquet table, filling them with their ingredients, simulating a “train” picking up passengers as it moves along a line. The bowls of food will meet in the center of the table and then the audience will have the opportunity to enjoy the lunch that they have helped to create.

While the audience members eat their lunch, Julie will do a presentation about Lunchtime Training with Julie Perini and other projects that involve audience participation. She will discuss her influences and her reasons for involving audience members directly in her live events. This presentation fulfills of the Artist & Audience Exchange project requirement for the NYFA Individual Artist Fellowship.
