This year, the Buffalo AKG Art Museum will reinvent its signature fall gala with a festive evening that honors the talented artists featured in the exhibition program at Albright-Knox Northland.

Art will be the life of the party as the museum welcomes Buffalo artists-in-residence Julia Bottoms, Tricia Butski, Max Collins, Fotini Galanes, Rachel Shelton, and Phyllis Thompson as honorary chairpersons of the event. This talented artist cohort from the 2021 exhibition Hervé Tullet: Shape and Color will transform Albright-Knox Northland into a creative and delicious tour. Together with the master culinary team of Delaware North / Patina Restaurant Group, they will design an unforgettable evening that shines a spotlight on the Buffalo AKG’s commitment to merging global, regional, and local talent with our hometown community.
