On Saturday, June 1, 2019, students, teachers, families, and friends created living representations of works of art from the Albright-Knox's collection and beyond for our annual living art contest. Thousands of spectators turned out in the beautiful weather to enjoy the tableaux and vote for their favorites in the People's Choice Awards. Thank you to all of this year's participants, sponsors, and volunteers!
