Buffalo AKG Art Museum
Buffalo - 1285 Elmwood Avenue - NY 14222
The Buffalo AKG Art Museum stands as a beacon of artistic innovation, cultural engagement, and community transformation in Western New York. Formerly known as the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, the museum has reemerged as the Buffalo AKG, marking a bold new chapter rooted in a century-long legacy of supporting and presenting modern and contemporary art.

With a revitalized campus and renewed mission, the museum offers an inclusive and dynamic space where creativity flourishes. Its vision is to be an exceptional hub of artistic energy that not only celebrates artistic excellence but also enriches lives on a local, national, and global scale. Central to the Buffalo AKG’s evolution is a firm commitment to Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA), ensuring that all individuals—regardless of background—feel welcomed, represented, and valued.

The museum's extensive collection features iconic works of 20th- and 21st-century art alongside compelling new acquisitions that reflect a broader spectrum of cultural voices. Through carefully curated exhibitions and public programming, the Buffalo AKG fosters meaningful dialogue between art and its audiences, encouraging exploration, reflection, and creativity.

In its expanded facilities—including state-of-the-art galleries, community spaces, and educational studios—the Buffalo AKG provides opportunities for hands-on engagement, artist residencies, and collaborative learning. These initiatives are designed to break down barriers and promote access to the transformative power of art for people of all ages and walks of life.

By integrating forward-thinking curatorial practices with a deep respect for its past, the Buffalo AKG Art Museum positions itself not only as a cultural destination but also as a living, evolving institution. It remains deeply committed to its role as a steward of artistic heritage while actively shaping the conversations that define the future of contemporary art.

All About Photo Presents ’The Witching Hour’ by Anastasia Sierra
I become a mother and stop sleeping through the night. Years go by, the child sleeps soundly in his bed but I still wake at every noise. My father comes to live with us and all of a sudden I am a mother to everyone. As I drift off to sleep I can no longer tell my dreams from reality. In one nightmare my father tells me he’s only got two weeks left to live, in another I am late to pick up my son from school and never see him again. I am afraid of monsters, but instead of running, I move towards them: we circle each other until I realize that they are just as afraid of me as I am of them.
Landscape and Alchemy
Landscape and Alchemy brings together the evocative works of Katja Liebmann and Nadezda Nikolova in a contemplative dialogue between place, memory, and photographic transformation. Rooted in early photographic processes, Liebmann’s cyanotypes and Nikolova’s wet plate collodion images transcend straightforward landscape depiction to become meditations on time, perception, and the elemental.

Huxley-Parlour are pleased to announce Pathfinders, an exhibition presenting important photographic works by Ilse Bing, Kati Horna and Dora Maar. Though shaped by different trajectories, these three artists shared an acute sensitivity to modern life: its velocity, its fragmentation, and its dislocations. Working in the shadow of political upheaval, each turned their camera toward the street, the surreal, and the overlooked, forging a new visual language for the Modern age.
