Tenured Larkin Center artist A.J. Fries has prepared another exhibit for our viewing pleasure. His recent exhibits have featured scenes of Little People and 365; one painting a day for an entire year.

We look forward to seeing you Friday, October 18th for a tailgate, which will presumably have guests crashing through tables and the exhibit opening at 6p at the Buffalo History Museum.
