The Buffalo AKG Art Museum’s annual operations are supported, in part, by public funds from the County of Erie and the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature; by the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Arts & Culture Initiative at the Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo; and by the generosity of our members.
