    Made at the Museum

    Friday, June 6, 2025–Monday, October 20, 2025

    In the past year alone, dozens of artists across twelve organizations have taken part in these programs, resulting in hundreds of new works. With nearly 400 pieces—ranging from contour drawings and felted landscapes to block-printed flags and imaginative animal sculptures—Made at the Museum aims to demonstrate the breadth of creativity that radiates in these spaces.

    Adam Fuss: Visual Resonance

    Friday, April 25, 2025–Monday, September 29, 2025

    Drawn predominantly from the Buffalo AKG's collection, with key loans from the artist and a private collection, each of the photographs in Adam Fuss: A Visual Resonance is a musing on the energy that exists between life and death. Together, they trace the development of Fuss's My Ghost series, which he began in the early 1990s and continues to the present in his most recent work, titled Theia.
