Spring into Art at UB Center For The Arts

The artistic community that calls the University at Buffalo Center for the Arts (UBCFA) home welcomes all on Tuesday, April 30, 2024 at 5 p.m. for “Spring into Art.” The UBCFA's annual showcase turns the spotlight on the various visual and performing arts created in this hub of activity, which has a well-earned reputation for inclusivity, innovation and quality.

Performances, art installations, exhibits, film screenings, a printmaking station, artist talks and a student art sale are all part of the evening's program.

"Spring into Art" has become a highlighted event of the UBCFA's mission to provide the greater community access to where art is made and experienced on the UB campus," said Jamie Enser, executive director. “We welcome both our university members and the greater Western New York Community to get a behind-the-scenes look at the student work that happens here daily," she added.

The event is free to attend and open to the public. Complimentary refreshments will be available and parking is free. Visitors can expect to experience a taste of what the UBCFA offers throughout the year thanks to the faculty, staff and students who create in its studios, rehearsal halls and performance spaces. 

Live theatrical, dance, and musical student performances will take place in the atrium from 5 to 7 p.m., along with a printmaking t-shirt station.

Spring into Art is presented by the UBCFA in collaboration with the departments of Art, Media Study, Music, Theatre and Dance, the Arts Management Program and the UB Art Galleries.

Among the many events scheduled is a special artist talk with Visiting Artist Wuon-Gean Ho, with the exhibition “The Heart's Sight” which is currently on view in the UB Art Galleries. This talk will take place at 7 p.m. in the UBCFA's Second Floor Gallery.

A full schedule of activities is available online.
