Anderson Gallery extends Moers exhibition
Due to the popularity of the exhibition and its timing with the Buffalo-Niagara Summerlong Sensation festival and Art On Wheels public art exhibit, the UB Anderson Gallery exhibition "In the Ultra-Silent Light: Monoprints by Denny Moers" has been extended through Aug. 3
Denny Moers, Prairie Dwelling VIII, 1996.
"This is an exciting summer in Buffalo," says Olsen, director of the UB Art Galleries. "I feel that keeping Moers' work on view will be beneficial to the community and our summer visitors."
The UB Anderson Gallery is an Art on Wheels location featuring "Book Mark," a tribute to Mark Twain's "Huckleberry Finn" by artist Rosemary K. Lyons. The work of veteran local artist Catherine Catanzaro Koenig also is on view at the gallery through Oct. 12.
UB Anderson Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and 1-5 p.m. on Sunday. The exhibitions are free and open to the public.
